Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Siem Reap
Day 2: Siem Reap-Preah Khan(B,L)
Day 3: Angkor Thom-Angkor Wat(B,L)
Day 4: Siem Reap-Departure(B)
Day 1: Arrive in Siem Reap
Welcome to Siem Reap. Upon arrival in Siem Reap Airport. After collecting your baggage, exit the airport to meet outside a local guide. He/she will be holding a sign with your names on it. Please note that local guides are not allowed inside the airport.
Overnight at hotel in Siem Reap.
Day 2: Siem Reap-Preah Khan(B,L)
Morning: Begin your temple visits to Preah Khan. Built by the King Jayavarman VII, Preah Khan is, like Ta Prohm, a place of towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors.
Unlike Ta Prohm, however, the temple of Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and even improve this situation. Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool (representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake), Ta Som and Banteay Samre, built in the third quarter of the 12th century. It consists of a central temple with four wings preceded by a hall and accompanied by two libraries, the southern example remarkably well preserved. Two concentric walls enclose the ensemble.
In the afternoon, you will continue your temple visit, including Prasat Kravan with unique brick sculptures, Srah Srang (“The Pool of Ablutions”), undoubtedly used in the past for ritual bathing, Banteay Kdei, surrounded by four concentric walls, Eastern Mebon, guarded at its corner by stone figures of harnessed elephants, some of which are still in a reasonable state of preservation, and Pre Rup, the mountain-temple until sunset.
Day 3: Angkor Thom-Angkor Wat(B,L)
In the morning, visit the South Gate (with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk), the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century), Bayon Temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King.
Next, visit Ta Prohm. One of the area's most beautiful temples, Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery.
Its appeal lies in the fact that, unlike the other monuments of Angkor, it was abandoned and swallowed by the jungle, looking very much the ways most of the Angkor temples appeared when European explorers first stumbled upon them.
This afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing.
Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture.
Angkor Wat’s five towers symbolize Meru’s five peaks – the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat, the ocean beyond. Sunset at Angkor Wat.
Overnight at hotel in Siem Reap.
Day 4: Siem Reap-Departure(B)
Today free at leisure until transfer to Siem Reap International Airport for departure flight to the next destination.
