PROPOSED TOUR ITINERARY FOR THREE DAY

  DAY ONE IN THE MORNING: at 8:00am leave for tour of Angkor Wat.

Angkor Wat is one of seven wonder of the world, built in early 12nd century and dedicated to Hindu gods. Angkor Wat is one of the best in the Angkor Archaeological Park, from Angkor Wat-said to be the world’s single largest, religious monument-to the jungle –entwined   Ta Prohm made famous in Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider movie, and some smaller, seldom-visited gems…..

An early start should allow us to see Angkor wat undisturbed by too many visitors; we enter the temple by the quieter eastern causeway.    Angkor Wat is busy at any time of day, but early morning is the quietest time for us to explore and admire this architectural wonder and the world –class- bas-relief. The bas relief that feature the Hindu myths and real history of Suryavarman II are the main feature of the morning’s visit.

IN THE AFTERNOON:

transfer to the archaeological site and continue the temple tours. Just Northwest of Ta Prohm, lie the rarely visit temple of Ta Nei. There is a reasonable chance of exploring this beautiful Angkorian temple without any other people around. Return to Ta Keo Temple Mountain, where a climb to the top is rewarded by an expensive view over the surrounding forest. From here we can go to Ta Prohm where we can take a leisurely stroll thought the temple from the east or north entrance to the west entrance to meet again with our driver (1-2km). Once home to 6oo exquisite dancers, Ta Prohm is a wondrous site, with giant fig kapok trees straight the ancient stonework in a photogenic interplay of man and nature.

Preah Khan is located on the western edge of its own long Baray. the Jayatadaka,  and a terraced landing stage at the end of the temple West-East access to the lake with   a moat surrounding the city.
