Day 1: ARRIVAL - SIEMREAP - ANGKOR COMPLEX (-/L/D)
Arrive at Siem Reap International Airport and transfer to the hotel (rooms may
not ready until the afternoon).In the morning, visit Prasat Kravan with its
unique brick sculptures and 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. Visit as well Takeo, Chau Say Tevoda and Thommanon.
Lunch at local restaurant.
Visit Preah Khan temple. Built by the King Jayavarman VII, Preah Khan is, like
Ta Prohm, a place of towered enclosures and shoulders-hanging corridors. Unlike
Ta Prohm, however, Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and
ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and even improve this situation.
Continue your visits to Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool and
representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake and visit the temple of Ta
Som and Sunset at Pre Rup. Dinner at local restaurant and accommodation at
hotel.
Day 2: SIEMREAP - ANGKOR WAT - ANGKOR THORM (B/L/D)
Breakfast at hotel. In the morning, 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.
Lunch at restaurant.
Visit the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century). See the South Gate with
its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk, the Royal
Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and
Bayon Temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling faces of
Avolokitesvara). Dinner at local restaurant and accommodation at hotel
Day 3: SIEMREAP - ANGKOR - DEPARTURE (B/L/-)
Breakfast at hotel. Morning, Visit Banteay Srei temple (10th c), regarded as the
jewel in the crown of Classical Khmer Art. Continue to visit Banteay Samre, one
of the most complete complexes at Angkor due to restoration using the method of
"anastylosis". The name Samre refers to an ethnic group of mountain people, who
inhabited the region at the base of Phnom Kulen and were probably related to the
Khmers. No inscriptions have been found for this temple, but the style of most
of the architecture is of the classic art of the middle period similar to Angkor
Wat. The proportions of Banteay Samre are splendid. A unique feature is an
interior moat with laterite paving, which when filled with water must have given
an ethereal atmosphere to the temple.
Lunch at restaurant.
Visit the floating village of Chong Khneas, located 10 kilometers south of Siem
Reap. Take a traditional wooden boat for a ride on the Tonle Sap Lake, the
"Great Lake" of Cambodia, one of the largest in Asia. Transfer to Siem Reap
International Airport for departure flight to the next destination.
