DAY ONE :
At 7:30 am, you will be taken in a Car/ minivan to jungle-clap temple of Ta Promh. You’ll see how the tentacle-like tree roots are slowly strangling the surviving stones. It’s an evocative sight. Then head to Pyramid Pre Rup which built in the second halt of 10 century (961 AD) to dedicate to Shiva God and the king's ancestors combined. Later on, visit less-popular Banteay Samre temple of Angkor Wat style.
Lunch Break.
In the afternoon, visit Banteay Srei 'Citadel of the Women', and it is said that it must have been built by a woman, as the elaborate carvings are supposedly too fine for the hand of a man. Banteay Srei is one of the few temples around Angkor to be commissioned not by a king but by a Brahman, who may have been a tutor to Jayavarman V
Back to the hotel.
DAY TWO :
At 8 am, transporting you to the
temple complex by a Tuk Tuk/ minivan and then, visit the spectacular Angkor
Wat. During this time of the day the crowds are at a minimum letting you view
this amazing structure at its most serene.
Then head north to see Basei
ChamKrong built in 947 AD by Harshavarman I and completed by Rajendravarman II,
dedicated to Siva (Hindu) as a pyramid temple, which it has a similar plan to a
Pyramid in the ancient Maya city of Tikal in around 741 AD in Central America.
Then move to smiling-face Bayon temple standing right in the middle of Angkor
Thom, the ancient city with a population of about 300,000 people in thirteenth
century. Later on, visit the dead gate of Angkor Thom where they made tomb
raider movie in 2001.
Have lunch locally.
After lunch break, visit Preah
Khan temple which was built in 1191 to honor the King's father . This was used
as a Buddhist university in 13 century.
