 Siem
Reap – ( Arrival) (L/D)
Meet upon arrival at Siem Reap airport and transfer to
Angkor hotel (or similar superior
category hotel). Visit Roluos
Group. The monuments of Roluos. which
served as the capital of Indravarman I
(reigned 877- 89) , are among the earliest
large, permanent temples built by the
khmers and mark the beginning of khmer
classical art. Preach ko, erected by
Indraverman I in the late 9th century and

880- Bakong, the largest and most
interesting of the Roluos group temples,
with his active Buddhist monastery just to
the north of the east entrance - Lolei,

ones at Preah kho, built on an islet in
the center of a large reservoir (now rice
fields) by Yasovarman I, the founder of
the first city at Angkor
*
Lunch at hotel
Afternoon, visit Takeo, Thomannon, Chau
Say Thevoda and Ta Prohm. The
latter is one of the most beautiful
temples in the area. It 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 left to be swallowed by the jungles
and look very much the way most of the
Angkor temples appeared when European
explorers first stumbled upon them.

Dinner at local restaurant and
accommodation at hotel. |

Siem
Reap (B/L/D)

Temple, unique for its 54 towers
decorated with over 200 smiling faces of
Avolokitesvara the Phimeanakas the Royal
Enclosure the Elephants Terrace
and the Terrace of the Leper King.
*
Lunch at hotel.
Then, 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
Palaces in Beijing. Its distinctive five
towers are emblazoned on the Cambodia flag
and the 12th century masterpiece is
considered by art historians to be the
prime examples 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 sunset from Phnom Bakheng,
one of the two hills dominating the plain
of Angkor, from where you will have a
spectacular view of the Western Baray and
Angkor Wat
