DAY 2: SIEM REAP - ANGKOR TOUR - SIEM REAP

Today, you will explore the South Gate of Angkor Thom, known as Big Angkor, a 3km walled and moated royal city, which was the last capital of the Angkorian Empire. The famous Bayon Temple was an architectural muddle, in part because it was constructed in a somewhat piecemeal fashion for over a century.

Terrace of the Elephants is an impressive, two-and-a-half-meter-tall, 300-meter-long terrace wall adorned with carved elephants and a gradual slope that spans the heart of Angkor Thom in front of Baphuon, a huge temple mountain in the heart of Angkor Thom, Royal Palace Area, and Phimeanakas – an impressive rite and sandstone pyramid. Terrace of the Leper King is at the north end of the Terrace of the Elephants, a double terrace wall with deeply carved nagas, demons, and other mythological beings. Last, you will visit the Ta Prohm temple, which is a wonderful combination of human genius and natural beauty! Giant trees have grown here for centuries.

Afternoon visit Angkor Wat temple, the founder of the temple was Suryavarman II, who reigned in Cambodia from 1113 to 1152 and built the five towers in the 12th century to dedicate to the Hindu God Vishnu. The plan of the pyramidal conception of the temple, combined with spaces, alleys, and ditches, is an ancient masterpiece of architectural design and construction. Have funny time at bars and pubs at the Angkor night market on your own. Overnight at the hotel in Siem Reap.

Meal: Breakfast

DAY 3: SIEM REAP

This morning, a visit to Wat Thmei (Killing Field) contains a unique glass-walled stupa containing the bones of victims of the Khmer Rouge. Some of the bones were recovered from a nearby well, while others are the remains of soldiers who died on a nearby battlefield. We will visit Puok, the real and original place of the Artisans d’Angkor silk, where you will see the full process of silk production, from the silk worms munching on the Mulberry leaves to spin their cocoons, which are used to make silk warp. You, of course, will see the weaving work and purchase the high-quality silk products as a beautiful Cambodia souvenir. Then visit West Baray Big Pond, a “baray” is a water reservoir built by the ancient Khmer people.

Afternoon visit to the Floating Villages, located 10 kilometers south of Siem Reap! Take a ride in a traditional wooden boat on the Tonle Sap, the “Great Lake” of Cambodia and the largest in Asia. Here you’ll see plenty of examples of the Khmer way of life on the Tonle Sap. Then visit Wat Bo, founded in the 18th century, a highly respected pagoda that contains very unique wall paintings of the Reamker (Ramayana) that are said to be from the late 19th century, and the Local Market.  Come back to visit the “Les Artisans d’Angkor – Chantiers Ecole“, the Finest Authentic Khmer Arts and Crafts.  Overnight at the hotel in Siem Reap.
