Angkor

Tour Plan

starting with half a day up to six days


French archeologists made up a general division:
  • Petit Circuit (little circular route)
    10.625 miles in lengths, begins at the Angkor Wat and leads to the temples of the "inner area"
  • Grand Circuit (grand circular route)
    16.25 miles in lengths and leads following little streets to the outer temples
You will have to include for both tours at least one day each, if you like to visit all of the temples along the way as well. The Rolous-Group, Banteay Srei, and Banteay Samre do not belong to neither of these routes.

The following proposals were made by Maurice Glaize (also check out "The Monuments of the Angkor Group"); they are sorted according to the amount of time at one's disposition, starting with half a day up to six days:
