Banteay Srei, Ta Som, Neak Pean & Preah Khan Temples

Banteay Srei - Guests are picked up from their hotel and transported to Banteay Srei temple, a 10th-century masterpiece considered the jewel of classical Khmer art. This temple is famous for its elaborate carvings in pink sandstone that adorn its walls.

Ta Som - Next, visitors head to Prasat Ta Som, a late 12th-century temple built in the classic Bayon style by Jayavarman VII, reflecting Buddhist influences.

Neak Pean - The tour continues to Prasat Neak Pean, a small island temple situated in the center of the last baray constructed by a Khmer king in the Angkor area.

Preah Khan - After lunch, the journey proceeds to Preah Khan temple, a vast and intriguing monastic complex built by Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century. Guests are then returned to their hotel.

Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Ta Prohm

Angkor Thom South Gate - Guests are picked up from their hotel and taken to visit the South Gate of Angkor Thom. On one side of the moat, 54 ‘devas’ (guardian gods) pull the head of the snake ‘Shesha,’ while on the opposite side, 54 ‘asuras’ (demon gods) pull the snake’s tail.

Bayon Temple - The tour then visits Bayon, where over 2000 large faces carved on 54 towers give the temple its majestic character. The bas-reliefs depict everyday life scenes such as markets, fishing, festivals, and historical scenes with battles and processions.

Baphuon Temple - Next, guests visit Baphuon, constructed in the mid-11th century (1060) by King Udayadityavarman II and dedicated to Shiva (Hindu).

Phimeanakas - Following this, the tour visits Phimeanakas, built in the late 10th century to early 11th century by King Jayavamen V and Udayadityavarman I, dedicated to Hinduism.

Ta Prohm Temple - Finally, the tour proceeds to Ta Prohm (The Ancestor Brahma, Jungle Temple). Enveloped in dense jungle, Ta Prohm exudes a romantic aura. Fig, banyan, and kapok trees spread their massive roots over stones, intertwining branches and leaves to form a canopy over the structures. Tree trunks twist among stone pillars.

Angkor Wat - In the afternoon, the tour visits Angkor Wat, initially a Hindu and later a Buddhist temple complex in Cambodia, recognized as the largest religious monument in the world. Built by Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (present-day Angkor), it served as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Unlike previous kings who followed Shaivism, Angkor Wat was dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it has remained a significant religious center since its inception. The temple epitomizes the high classical style of Khmer architecture and has become a symbol of Cambodia, featuring on its national flag.
