What to expect
Preah Ko
Hinduism temple built in 879 AD to dedicate his ancestor. You will see a lot of stucco on the bricks of each tower. Prah Ko, built in late ninth century (879) for the king's parents, maternal grandparents, and a previous king, Jayavarman II and his wife.
Lolei
Lolei built on an islet in the center of a large reservoir. Now there is a Buddhist temple inside the compound of temple.
Prasat Bakong
The first mountain temple in Angkorian Period. It was built in 881 AD. The most interesting feature is 5 tier temple and surrounded by moat. Bakong, built in late ninth century (881) dedicated to Siva (Hindu)
Banteay Srei
Banteay Srei temple (10th century) regarded as the jewel in the crown of classical Khmer art. Banteay Srei was a new name which meaning in Khmer is "Citadel of Woman".
Banteay Samre
Banteay Samre, one of the most complete complexes at Angkor due to restoration using the method of “anastylosis”.
Angkor Thom South Gate
Two rows of statue of Demons and Gods are carrying the body of snake. And you will see four giant faces of future Buddha.
Bayon, carved on the 54 tower give this temple its majestic character and the bas-reliefs with scenes of everyday life-markets, fishing, festivals with cockfights and jugglers and history scenes with battles and processions.
Baphuon, built in middle of the 11th century (1060) by king Udayadityavarman II, dedicated to Siva (Hindu).
Phimeanakas, built in late tenth century-beginning of the 11th century by King Jayavamen V and Udayadityavarman I and dedicated to Hindu
Ta Prohm (The Ancestor Brahma, Jungle Temple), probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures. Trunks of trees twist amongst stone pillars.
This temple is busy at any time of day for us to explore and admire this architectural wonder and the excellent bas-reliefs. It is worth walking a little between the outer laterite wall and the inside of the moat for tranquil scenes of rural life.
Lost in the jungle and almost forgotten by the local population and takes 50 km from the town.
Koh Ker temple group – another ancient capital of the Khmer Empire. Scattered over a large area, the most prominent temple of this group by far is the pyramid-like Prasat Thom.
Tonle Sap Lake
Tonle Sap Lake (the largest fresh water in South East Asia) to see the fascinating floating Village called Kompong Khleang, village houses on high stilts above the water.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
