A curated journey through the experience
Preah Ko
The Shiva-temple Preah Ko ("Sacred Bull") in Angkor's predecessor capital Hariharalaya - nowadays called Roluos - is located halfway between the similar Lolei temple and the pyramidal structure Bakong. It is the first ancestor temple of the Khmer empire. Preah Ko was consecrated in 879, supposedly as a kind of royal chapel adjoined to the king's palace. The residential area was surrounded by a moat of 500 m length and 400 m width. The palace buildings were wooden and vanished in the course of time, thus only the stone buildings of the temple area are left over. Preah Ko is famous for its exquisite decoration, inspiring the later Angkor styles of stone carving. Particularly, its carved colonettes remained to be of unsurpassed quality.
30 minutesBakong Temples
The Bakong temple was built at the behest of Indravarman I and consecrated in 881. Bakong is historically remarkable as it became a kind of prototype of the typical Khmer temple pyramid, also called temple-mountain or step-pyramid. Bakong was the state- or imperial temple of its time, dedicated to the king's Shiva-Lingam. Jayavarman II in the early 9th century is considered to be the founder of the dawning Angkor empire, now called "Kambuja-Desa", "Kambu's descendants' Land", but Indravarman I (877-889) is the first Khmer king of the now beginning Angkor era whose achievements are documented beyond doubt, namely by his own inscriptions and by clearly attributed architectural masterpieces such as Bakong and Preah Ko.
1 hourLolei
Lolei (stressed on "lei") in Roluos is located only a few hundred metres north of the A6 main road. It is the youngest and smallest of the three most important Roluos temples, less photogenic than the similar Preah Ko. But the historical background of the Lolei temple is remarkable in some respects. It was consecrated in 893, its builder was Yashovarman I (889-910), who shifted the capital from Hariharalaya, the present-day Roluos, to a new 16 square kilometres large fortified city called Yashodharapura. It encompassed the area of the later Angkor Wat and was the first metropolis and capital in the area we call Angkor. So Yashovarman, who erected the Lolei temple in commemoration of his father, Roluos-king Indravarman I, can be titled the founder or initial king of the most famous ancient Khmer capital, Angkor. The Bakheng in Angkor became his state temple. Yashovarman constructed the East Baray
30 minutesBanteay Srei
Most visitors asked which was the most beautiful temple they saw in Cambodia, will answer: Angkor Wat was great, but we love Banteay Srei most. And Cambodians will tell you: As long as you have not seen Banteay Srei you have not seen Cambodia. Indeed, Banteay Srei is a top candidate for a competition: Which is the nicest temple in the world?
1 hourPreah Khan
In 1191 Preah Khan was dedicated to Jayavarman VII's father, the central statue was called "Jayavarmeshvara", meaning "Jayavarman, Lord of the world". Jayavarman's father was worshipped as a personification of the universal Bodhisattva of compassion and loving care, Avalokiteshvara, while the five years older temple Ta Prohm was dedicated to his mother as Prajnaparamita, female embodiment of perfect wisdom. Care and knowledge are the bipolar interpreted central terms in the salvation doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism, which Jayavarman VII introduced as the new official cult of the Khmer empire, by the way, without suppressing the former Hindu believes: Temples for Vishnu to the west and for Shiva to the north, accompanying the central Avalokiteshvara shrine, are integral parts of Preah Khan's layout right from the beginning.
1 hourNeak Pean
Neak Pean, originally known as Rajyasri, "kingdom's brightness" or "rule's bless", is located about 2.5 km east of Preah Khan, on the same east-west axis. It was in the centre of a Baray built by Jayavarman VII in the end of the 12th century. The historcal reservoir dried up. Today it is a swamp called "Veal Reach Dak" by locals, meaning "plain of the royal reservoir". But more common names are "Northern Baray" or "Baray of Preah Khan". It was originally called Jayatataka, "Jaya(varman)'s reservoir". The Baray measured 3500 m by 900 m.
1 hourTa Som
There was a stele in Preah Khan that probably mentions Ta Sohm, this is how the temple's original Sanskrit name was identified: Gaurashrigajaratna, "Propitious-Holy-Elephant-Jewel". A "shrigaja" is a white elephant, reserved for royalty. The inscription mentions the temple was home of 24 deities.
45 minutesEastern Mebon
The East Mebon is neither a flat temple nor a real temple mountain, but a less steep kind of step pyramid with three levels. It originally was an artificial island in Angkor's main reservoir of 7.5 km length and 1.8 km width. To judge by the laterite steps that surround the East Mebon platform, the original depth of water was approximately three metres, this means the reservoir's volume must have been about 40 million cubic metres.The so-called East Baray was supplied by waters from the Siem Reap river
45 minutesPre Rup
Day 2: Sunrise at Angkor Wat and Explore small tours
1 hourAngkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the national emblem of Cambodia and the pride of the Khmer people. Its silhouette of five towers - or of only three from a frontal perspective - is as iconic as those of the pyramids of Gizeh or of the Taj Mahal. The Angkor Wat is the largest historical temple monument in the world. The central towers rises 65 metres from ground level. Originally, all nine - not only the central five - great pinnacles were plated with gold. The platform of the temple-pyramid measures 332 metres length and 258 metres width. Its enclosure has a 1025 metres long and 800 metres wide outer temple wall, surrounded by a moat measuring 1500 metres by 1300 metres. Angkor Wat is not only of enormous size, it is a masterpiece of architectural design, craftsmanship and sculptural decoration as well.
3 hoursAngkor Thom South Gate
The South Gate is the most famous city gate and a kind of emblem of Angkor Thom. Every visitor of Angkor will see it, as the only road from the Angkor Wat to the second-most popular destination, the Bayon, crosses Angkor Thom's South Gate. All visitors will stop here in front of Angkor's most extensive collection of giant sculptures. Many tourists start an elephant ride here, either through the South Gate to the Bayon temple or to the top of the nearby hill Phnom Bakheng. The causeway of the South Gate is pretty crowded sometimes, particularly between 9.00 and 10.00 am. In the evening, an hour or two after sunset, the South Gate will be closed.
30 minutesBayon Temple
The Bayon, built in the centre of Angkor Thom about 1200 A.D., is the second most popular monument in Angkor, after Angkor Wat. It is the temple with those numerous enigmatic "stone faces" Angkor is famous for. As it is not clear who or what is symbolized by those gigantic Buddhas, the smiling faces of Angkor Thom became an emblem of the mysteries of Angkor. The original total number of face towers is still a matter of debate. However, originally there must have been about 50 towers and 200 colossal faces at the Bayon. Now, there are 37 standing towers, most of them with four Buddha faces oriented toward the cardinal points. Most of them are raised on the cruciform terrace surrounding the central tower, which is, rarely enough in Angkor, a circular structure. The central tower rises 43 metres above the ground. Apart from those face-towers, there is a second exciting attraction at the Bayon, the large-scale carvings at the gallery walls,
1 hourBaphuon Temple
The Baphuon was completed about 1060 by King Udayadityavarman II, near the Royal Palace. It served as his state temple. Like all previous Khmer state temples it was dedicated to Shiva, with a Lingam venerated in the central shrine on top of the pyramid. Those days it the Baphuon was Asia's largest temple built from stone. (The even bigger Borobudur on Java is not a construction, but mounted on a natural hill.) The Baphuon's original height is not known, because the central tower collapsed totally after only a few centuries, in the 15th or 16th century its stones were reused to erect a 9 metre tall and 70 metre long colossal reclining Buddha at the west facade of the temple. But in the late 13th century the Chinese envoy Zhou Daguan (Chou Ta-Kuan) still saw the original state temple and called it "the Tower of Bronze". It was approximately 50 m tall. Now it is 34 m.
1 hourPhimeanakas
Phimeanakas was started by King Rajendravarman II (944-69), but subsequent kings made alterations to it, the long-reigning Suryavarman I (1006-1050) in particular. It is predominantly a laterite structure, with some sandstone elements. There are not many carvings at this monument. The axial stairways, on all four sides, are flanked by guardian lions. Elephants were on the corners of the tiers, but most of them are broken. The stairways are extremely steep, for visitors there is a wooden stairway added at the west side. At the top there are small sandstone galleries and remains of an elevated sanctuary, probably later additions. There is an inscription on a door jamb, reused from an older temple of a minister of Yashovarman I, the founder of Angkor.
30 minutesTerrace of the Elephants
The Elephant Terrace, also called Terrace of the Elephants, is an ancient wall and platform that forms most of the western edge of the Royal Square of Angkor Thom. This square only a few hundred metres north to the Bayon temple in the centre of Angkor Thom was the secular core of the city, serving for parades and festivals. The Elephant Terrace separates this square from the compound of the Royal Palace, being a kind of high entrance platform to it. The so-called Victory Avenue from the Victory Gate just ends in front of the Elephant Terrace. Thus, it most probably served as the Royal audience hall, from where the king and his family and court officials watched public events such as military parades and presented themselves to the people. The terrace carried pavilions of perishable materials. Remains of painted lead tiles of a former roof have been found nearby.
45 minutesTerrace of the Leper King
The 6 m high and 25 m long terrace was named for the kneeling statue on the top. There are four more statues of guardians surrounding the central statue. They carry swords, their costumes are ornate, but they are headless. The larger central "Leper King" is naked, but without genitals, he has long hair and a moustache. He once carried a mace on his right shoulder. Its kneeling position with the right knee raised is uncommon in Khmer art,
45 minutesTa Prohm
Ta Prohm, located three kilometres north-west of the Angkor Wat, is famous as Angkor's "jungletemple". If you are in a hurry and have only a few hours to spend in Angkor, this large monument surmounted by many stone-strangling trees, indeed, is one of the three must-sees of Cambodia, apart from the Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom's Buddhist face towers. The early French archaeologists intentionally left it partially unrestored. This is why until the present day enormous strangler figs (Ficus gibbosa) and even huger Thitpok trees (Tetrameles nudiflora) grow from the towers and halls, spreading their gigantic roots over intricately carved stone, thus making Ta Prohm an icon of excellent architecture reconquered by the force of nature. This massive combination of art and vegetation is unique in the world, and one of the impressions nobody will ever forget. In the early morning hours, before first bus groups arrive
1 hourBanteay Kdei
Day 3: Kampong Kleang, Tonle Sap, Floating village and Beng Mealea temple
7 hours 30 minutesTonle Sap Lake
The Lake is the largest fresh water in South East Asia. Its dimension changes depending on the monsoon and dry season. During raining season from June to October, the lake is filled by water flowing from the Mekong with 14 meters in depth and expands the surface of 10,000 square Kilometers. In dry season from November to May its size 3,000 square kilometers with two meters in depth and water flows out from the Lake to the Mekong, in and out flowing is the natural phenomenon occurrences. The flooded forest surrounding the edge of the lake is the best shelter and also very important for all kinds of fishes spawned and breeding babies. This lake providing many of biodiversities, over 300 species of fresh water fishes, as well as snakes, crocodiles, tortoises, turtles and otters. More than 100 varieties water birds including storks, pelicans, etc
1 hour 30 minutesKompong Khleang Floating Village
Kampong Khleang is located on the northern lake-edge about 55 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less tourist than Kampong Pluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In wet season the waters rise up to one or two meters of the buildings. Like Kompong Pluk, Kompong Khleang is a permanent community within the flood plain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kompong Khleang is significantly larger with nearly 10 times the population of Kompong Pluk, making it the largest community on the Lake.
