Siem Reap – Outlying Temples Exploring

The Angkor temples are a source of inspiration and pride for all Khmers, serving as a pilgrimage site for Cambodians. These temples provide a glimpse into Cambodia's ancient grandeur and the enduring spirit of its people.

Angkor is an unparalleled ancient site, with the grandeur of the Great Wall of China, the intricacy of the Taj Mahal, and the symbolism of the pyramids all entwined into one remarkable destination.

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, your guide will take you to the site of the ancient Khmer civilization at Hariharalaya. Flourishing in the late 9th and early 10th centuries, these temples are the earliest in the Angkor area and form the Rolous group, which includes Lo Lei, Preah Koh, and Bakhong Temples.

Lunch will be a delightful experience with a local family. Following your meal, we'll continue driving to the rural outskirts, approximately 35 kilometers from Angkor, to explore the exquisite Banteay Srei Temple, constructed in the 10th century and dedicated to Shiva. This temple's pink sandstone structure is adorned with exquisite sculptures, lintels, pediments, and friezes. Locals believe that the temple's intricate details are too fine to have been crafted by male hands, attributing its creation to women.

On your journey back to Siem Reap, you'll visit the Banteay Samre Temple, adorned with striking reliefs illustrating Vishnu and Krishna legends.

Siem Reap – Angkor Highlighted Temples

Start your day with an early breakfast at your hotel. At 7:30 am, you'll depart for the picturesque Ta Prohm Temple. This iconic temple had nearly disappeared into the jungle, offering an exotic and haunting sight. The majestic roots of trees that envelop the temple's stone blocks create a captivating and unforgettable scene.

Continue your exploration with a visit to Angkor Wat, home to some of the world's most impressive ruins. This temple, adorned with fine Apsara carvings, is a masterpiece of Angkorian-era art.

Your journey will then lead you to the enigmatic Royal City of Angkor Thom, where the 54-tower Bayon Temple stands as an awe-inspiring sight. At first glance, the temple may seem like a mass of stone, but upon closer inspection, faces from a distant era emerge, surrounding you with their enigmatic gazes. Explore the surrounding area, including the Baphou, Elephant Terraces, Lipper King Terrace, and Royal Palace. Your day will culminate at the Preah Khan Temple, constructed in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII and resembling the Ta Prohm Temple.

Siem Reap City Tour & Food Tour

Begin your day with breakfast at your hotel. You'll embark on a Siem Reap city orientation tour that includes a visit to the local shrine, Preah Ang Chek/Cham, where you can offer prayers for good luck. Your journey will take you to a unique local attraction: a bungalow favored by local people for family photos and exercise.

Your next stop is the Angkor National Museum, which opened its doors in November 2007. It houses a comprehensive collection of Cambodian artifacts, offering insights into Khmer art, culture, and architecture. The museum's eight galleries provide an in-depth look at Cambodia's history and the Khmer Empire, alongside a captivating collection of Buddhist artifacts.

Your exploration continues at Artisans D' Angkor, a popular handicraft venue in Siem Reap. Here, you can witness artisans at work, creating traditional crafts such as wood and stone carving, lacquering, gilding, and silk painting. It's a testament to the preservation of these ancient techniques.

In the evening, immerse yourself in Siem Reap's vibrant nightlife with a tuk-tuk ride that provides insights into local customs and tourist activities. You'll traverse the food market on Road 60m, where you can be adventurous and taste some fried bugs. The first part of the road features a play station for kids. Afterward, enjoy dinner with a local beer or soft drink at a local beer garden. Take a stroll through the night market, and if you're feeling bold, experience a foot massage by fish (at your own expense). Please note that if you're not familiar with local beer gardens, dinner will be replaced by a set menu dinner (meal only, no drinks) at Crystal Restaurant, accompanied by an Apsara performance. To conclude your evening, take a short tuk-tuk ride back to your hotel.

Our time up in Halong Bay was amazing. In hindsight I wish we had done this part at the end of our tour as it was more relaxing up there and we loved the slower pace. Our whole trip was handled very well along the way. We did all the things on our bucket list. Thanks Tran for his help.

We used ATA in Vietnam to book a 13 day itinerary up through Cambodia from Vietnam. We have never used a travel agent before and were a little nervous about working with someone we couldn’t talk to face to face, but everything worked out great. Our guides and drivers were awesome, they were always on time and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Hong and the group at ATA.
