3-Day Ten Temples, Museum & Roluos Group Tour

First, we’ll head over to Angkor Wat, the reason why most people come to visit Siem Reap. Angkor Wat attracts over 2 millions visitors per year and is the largest temple built during the Khmer empire.

After exploring the massive Angkor Wat, we’ll head over to Preah Khan. Which is another 12th century temple built by the famous king Jayavarman VII. Unlike many other temples, Preah Khan has been left to the elements. It’s been made safe for visitors, but very little restoration work has taken place here.

Finally, we will visit the majestic Bayon temple. This temple has remnants of Hindu inscriptions as well as both Mahayana and Theravada Buddhist incriptions. It’s a fascinating temple and usually a favourite of most visitors. We’ll spend a few hours exploring all the nooks and crannies of this amazing temple.

On the third and final day, we’ll start the day with Prasat Kravan which is a small 10th century temple which is near Srah Srang baray. The original name of the temple is unknown and Prasat Kravan is the modern name for the temple. The temple was dedicated to Vishnu in 921 AD.

Next is Banteay Kdei which is known as “A Citadel of Chambers” in English. It’s located near to Ta Prohm Temple. It was built in a similar style to Bayon temple and it was built in teh 12th or 13th century by King Jayavarman VII.

We’ll then go to see one of the earlier temples known as East Mebon. This temple was built in the 10th century by King Rajendravarman and it sits in the middle of an artificial reservoir.

Next on the list is Ta Som which is another temple built by the prolific King Jayavarman VII. Similarly to Preah Khan and other temples nearby, Ta Som has been left largely unrestored.

Then a visit Neak Pean temple which means the “Entwined Serpent” in English and it an artificial island located in the middle of Preah Khan Baray. It’s thought that this temple is supposed to represent Anavatapta which is a mythical lake in teh Himalayas which is said to cure all sickness.

Finally, we’ll end with the Angkor National Museum. This interesting journey will explain the highs and lows of ancient Khmer history with the rise and fall of a great empire. This fascinating visit will teach you about the culture and history of the Khmer people.
