Among the 30th temples, that are accessible today, the most famous is Angkor Wat, the largest religions building in the world, with a volume of stone equaling that of the Cheops pyramid in Egypt. Conceived by King Suryavarman II early 12th century, Angkor wat took an estimated 30 years to build. Unlike most other Khmer temples, it faces West the most likely reason is because the temple was dedicated to Vishnu, who is sometime associated with the West.

MORNING@7H00-8H00

Leaving for tour of Angkor Thom (comprising of the Bayon Temple, Terrace of Leper King and the Elephant Terrace). The city of Angkor Thom, founded by Jayavarman VII in the late of 12th century, was one of the largest of all Khmer cities and remained the capital until 17th century. We enter the city the through the monumental south gate, its tower feature four faces pointing in each of cardinal directions with the elephants holding up the main gate preceded by a no less impressive Avenue of Gods and Ashuras ( Giant) lining the bridge across the structure moat.

The city of Angkor Thom and The Bayon or state temple of Jayavarman VII is one of the most enigmatic and power religious constructions in the world. It is a unique mass of “faces tower” which create a stone-mountain of ascending peaks. There were originally 49 towers of which 37 are still standing today. Most are carved with four faces on each cardinal point. The central tower has many more.

The Elephant Terrace is at the heart of Angkor Thom and looks out overage Royal spare. It marks the entrance to the Royal Palace and was the focal point for Royal receptions. The Carving of the elephants along its Walls gives it its modern name.

Terrace of Leper King, This massive terrace is named after the 15th century sculpture that was discovered on top of it. It probably dates back to the reign of Jayavarman VII and has been restored in a manner, which allows visitor to explore the earliest to most recent additions by actually entering the internal layers of the structure.

AFTERNOON@14H30-15H00

2/d. In the afternoon, transfer to the archaeological site and continue the temple tours Ta Prohm was built in the 12th century by Jayavarman VII as a royal monastery. It was dedicated to the king’s mother. This temple was chosen to be left in its natural state as an example of how most of Angkor looked, upon its rediscovery in the 18th century. Shrouded in jungle, the temple of Ta Prohm is ethereal in aspect and conjures up a romantic aura with gigantic roots and branches intimately intertwined with the stoned and probing walls to form a natural roof above the man mad structures. Then, visit Takeo, Thommanon and Chau Say Tevoda.

 Preah Khan, built in the 12th century was one of Jayavarman VII’s largest projects dedicated to his father. Preah Khan was much more than a temple with over 1,000 teachers it appears also to have been a Buddhist university as well as a considerable city.

MORNING@7H00-7H30

In the morning, drive to the Kulen Mountain, walk 1hr and 30 minutes through the forest to the top of the hill to reach Kulen Moutain. This is where the 500 year long age of Angkor began. Phnom Kulen is the mountain on which Jayavarman II initiated the royal good of the king linga cult in 802AD, declaring a unified and independent Khmer Empire under a single ruler and beginning what would later become known as the Angkor period (though the capital city would not actually move to the Angkor area for another century.) soon after the ceremony, Jayavarman II moved his capital from Phnom Kulen to the area near the modern town of Rolous where it was to remain for almost a century before moving to the Angkor area. There are several minor ruins at Phnom Kulen including hundreds of linga stands in the Siem Reap River. Water fall and active pagoda. It’s a bit over 50km each way from Siem Reap so set aside at least a haft day trip there and back.

Kulen Waterfall, The National Park, SIEM REAP CAMBODIA

Most people first climb up to the top of the mountain to have a look and to pray at the pagoda with the large resting reclining  Buddha. The statue of Buddha is carved in a boulder of sandstone and is one of the biggest you can find in Cambodia. Walk around the statue and you will notice that at the back of the statue a lot of people leave money and small notes with whishes for their families and friends. Before going down take you time to enjoy the view. You will see a part of the jungle and forests that are still presented in Cambodia. After this you can go down by following a small trial which leads to small sanctums and a natural source with holy water. A lot of people wash their hands and face with this holy water hoping it will bring them good luck.

PREAH ANG THOM MONASTERY, SIEM REAP CAMBODIA 

Kbal Spean The valley of a 1000 Linga, Entrance to the area closes at 3:00pm. Combine with a visit to Banteay Srey and allow a half-day for the two. Take the road straight past Banteay Srey about 15km. requires a moderately easy 45 minutes uphill walk though the paths in the shade. Leave for the “Jewel” of Angkor.

Kulen Mountain National Park in Siem Reap of Cambodia

AFTERNOON@2H00-2H300

Leaving for tour of Banteay Srei Temple, the most exquisite temple in the complex. Banteay Srei is the “Citadel of Women” or “Citadel of Beauty” presumably referring to its size and the delicacy of its decoration. Unlike the major sites at Angkor, Banteay Srei was not a royal temple. It was built not by the kings, but by Brahmin Priests. Often described in terms as the “Jewel of Khmer Art”, Banteay Srei is a temple of great beauty, and compares with little else in Angkor. Its miniature scale almost always surprises visitors, and the near total decoration of its surfaces are exceptional. For its protection, the most inner spaces of the temple are closed to public.
