What to expect
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. It was built early in the 12th century. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. We will enter the great temple from the little-visited eastern side. We continue our journey on foot and creep through a jungle path to the North ancient library pool. Listen to the explanations of your expert guide, then spend time venturing into the central chambers of the temple, where your local guide will reveal the history, myths and stories depicted on the stone bas-reliefs (the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world) then you will venture deep into the central chambers of this truly great temple. Your knowledgeable guide will ensure that your visit to Angkor Wat leaves you with a rich understanding of the history and purpose of the great temple, and also of the mighty Angkorian civilisation.
The jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm (Tomb raider temple)– one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Ta Prohm was built in the 13th century. Unlike the most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found, the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is one of the most visited complexes in Cambodia’s Angkor region. Ta Prohm was a religious temple located in the centre of the Ancient Khmer University during the 12th and 13th century.
Banteay Srei
Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. Banteay Srei was the only major temple at Angkor not built by a Monarch, it was built by a King’s counselor in the 10th century. It is an intricately carved and well-preserved Temple. The detailed reliefs on this sandstone structure are the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia.
BBC is a butterfly zoo near Angkor Wat. Founded in 2009, it is the largest enclosed butterfly centre in Southeast Asia. BBC has been designed and financed by Ben Hayes and Mike Baltzer, two British butterfly enthusiasts. BBC is part of the Cambodian project connecting responsible tourism with environmental conservation. Scientifically, butterflies belong to the insect group of lepidopterans, which also includes moths, and moths also have the attention of BBC. The centre showcase examples of the large variety of lepidopterans in Cambodia, preferably local varieties, in a large netted garden environment. As butterflies have a short lifespan of no more than a few weeks, and because many species are seasonal, there are twice as many species present around the centre during November and December. BBC also works as a sustainable butterfly farm, providing training for locals. Some of the farmed butterflies are meant for the centre's own gardens, while others are meant for sale and export.
Cambodia Landmine Museum
The Cambodia Landmine Museum and Relief Center serves to educate the public on the dangers of landmines, and in addition it supports education for Cambodian youth. This home was created so that it might serve as a place of healing for bodies, hearts and minds. We believe that love, support and education are the essential means to secure a better future for the children that live here and our visitors.
Preah Dak
Preah Dak Village is a famous and popular place for local market of objects and arts. Visitors can discover beautiful places and natural life. The village is well-known as Khmer Noodle Village and Palm Sugar Producing village. It is one of the popular tourist spots in Siem Reap destination.
