Anantara Angkor Resort in Cambodia’s ancient capital of Siem Reap is offering guests a new unique indigenous experience with its ‘Breakfast at Angkor Tour.’

Anantara has been granted special access to the famed ninth-century Angkor Wat temple that allows guests to arrive before the crowds of daily tourists are allowed to enter.

Rising at an early 4.30am, guests at the resort can take a private car or local tuk-tuk to the nearby Angkor Archeological Park. With flashlight in hand, Anantara’s guide escorts guests through the temple compound via a secret back entrance. The tour ends at the front of Angkor Wat as the sun’s first rays emerge, for sunrise photo opportunities.

After sunrise, a private breakfast awaits guests in one of the more secluded temples close to Angkor Wat, with a personal butler waiting to serve freshly squeezed juice, coffee or tea, and fruits and pastries, while the guide explains the surrounding scenery and life in Siem Reap. Guests can then choose to explore more temple ruins before returning back to the resort.
