Day2: Siem Reap – Angkor Highlighted
Temples
This morning we visit the ancient Khmer
civilization site of Hariharalaya
which flourished in the late 9th
and earlier 10th centuries. These
are the earliest temples in the Angkor area
and are referred to the Rolous group
(Lo Lei, Preah Koh, and Bakhong Temples).
Lunch with the local family and then we will
continue to drive to the
rural outskirt 35km from Angkor area to
visit the smallest, but magnificent,
Banteay Srei built in the 10th
Century and dedicated to Shiva. The temple
was the birthplace of Khmer classical style
architecture and the bas-relief work is the
best example of Khmer classical art
remaining. The pink sandstone structure
bears a series of striking and beautiful
sculptures, lintels, pediments and friezes.
Khmers say the temple must have been carved
by women for the details are too fine for
the hands of a man. On the way back to Siem
Reap we will visit the Banteay
Samre Temple adorned with impressive
reliefs depicting scenes of Vishnu as well
as Krishna legends.
Meals included:
Breakfast, lunch
Accommodation: Hotel in Siem Reap
Day3: Siem Reap – Angkor Tours
Early morning, visit
the picturesque Ta Prohm that had
nearly disappeared into the jungle and
remains overgrown, an oddly haunting and
exotic scene. The magnificent roots of a
tree, pushing between the huge stone blocks
of the temple in a sort of embrace, evoke
feelings that you may remember forever.
And continue to visit
the intricately carved
Khmer ruins at Angkor Wat - one of
the world’s most impressive ruins. The
temple still owns fine Apsara carvings in
Angkorian era art. At 09am come back
to hotel for breakfast and rest in the noon
to avoid of the heats of the day until 15:00
continue exploring the
mysterious Royal city Angkor Thom.
City & Bayon Its 54-tower temple is an
awesome sight. At first glance it seems a
shapeless mass of stone, but further
scrutiny reveals a face, and then another
and another until suddenly you are engulfed
by the silent, heavy, enigmatic and silent
gaze through half-closed eyes, staring out
from a primitive and remote time. Further,
visit to the surroundings of the complex
including the Baphou, Elephant Terraces,
Lepper King Terrace and Royal Place area
and visit one more ruin in Angkor Area of
Preah Khan temple, built in 12th
century by King Jayavarman VII and it is the
same style to Ta Prom Temple.
Meals
included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Hotel in Siem Reap
Day4: Siem Reap – Remote temple –
Departure
Heading out of the town, we drive on a
newly paved road to the most remote and ruin
temples of Boeng Mealea which is a
temple located 60 km east of the main group
of temples at Angkor Wat and built during
the reign of King Suryavarman II in the
early 12th century. Its primary material is
sandstone and it is surrounded by moats. The
basic layout is three enclosing galleries
around a central sanctuary. There is
extensive carving of scenes from Hindu
mythology, including the Churning of the Sea
of Milk and Vishnu being borne by the bird
god Garuda. Causeways have long balustrades
formed by bodies of the seven-headed Naga
serpent. Smaller in size than Angkor Wat,
the king’s main monument, Boeng Mealea
nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empire’s
larger temples. Return to hotel before 12:00
for check-out from your hotel and transfer
to airport for departure.
