Morning: 8 or 8.30am (flexible time) after breakfast pick up from your hotel in Siem Reap and journey by A/C vehicle to the vast Angkor complex of temple ruins from the days of the Khmer Empire. Embark on a trip back in time as you marvel at the remains of the medieval city.
We first go to the brick and laterite stone charming temple of Pre Rup, one of the few remaining complete structures in the complex. Continue to the intricate, pink-colored temple of Banteay Srei known as a “precious gem”, or the “jewel of Khmer art”, thought by many to be the work of the women of the Khmer Empire. Marvel at the ornate carvings on the tiny temples.
Afternoon: Make your way to one of the nearby restaurants and try with the local dish at your own expense. Then, spend the your little time to learn about local people making Palm Sugar, continue exploring the unique East Mebon, Ta Som, Neak Pean and Preah Khan temples, all mostly built at the different periods. Get a glimpse into the lives and rituals of the people that once inhabited this extraordinary space.
Back to Siem Reap drop some where in the city or at your hotel end of service
Migliavacca –
We really enjoyed our excursion with the guide Mr. Neang and the driver Mr. Rady: The historical explanations were very interesting, the program of the different temples was respected. The car was very comfortable. The guide and driver were very attentive: unlimited water and refreshing towels. The choice of restaurant was very good with delicious Cambodian specialties.
