Day one: ( Ta Prohm, Pre Rup temple,
Banteay Samre and Banteay Srey temple for 7-8 hours).
At 7:30 am,
you will be taken in a Car/ minivan to jungle-clap
temple of Ta Promh Where the Hollywood made a tomb raider movie there in 2001. 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: Angkor Wat, Basei
ChamKrong, South gate of Angkor Thom, Bayon, Baphoun, Phimeanakas, royal
palance, Preah Palilay, terrace of elephant and terrace of leper king and Preah
Khan temple for 7-8 hours.
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 nearby temples, Baphoun, Phimeanakas, Royal palace, Preah Palilay, terrace of elephant and terrace of leper king.
