Angkor Classic – 4 Days
Angkor Classic – 4 Days
| Day 1
- Siem Reap |
• Arrival in Siem Reap.
• Transfer
• Sightseeing in Angkor
• Visit Angkor Thom
The fortified city of ANGKOR THOM covers an area of 10 square km.
Enclosed by a wall and wide moats, the city includes many of Angkor's
most popular sights. Enter by the monumental SOUTH GATE over a causeway
lined on either side by statues of demons and gods, each carrying a
giant naga. Continue to the TERRACE OF THE ELEPHANTS and the TERRACE OF
THE LEPER KINGS, former spaces for public cermonies, both adorned with
dramatic bas reliefs. Visit the ruined BAPHUON, ROYAL ENCLOSURE and
PHIMEANAKAS before continuing to the mysterious BAYON TEMPLE. In this
temple, one of the most popular and compelling in Angkor, explore the
galleries of beautifully preserved bas reliefs and ascend narrow stairs
to reach the central sanctuary, where you will find giant stone faces
smiling enigmatically down at you from every angle.
• Visit a temple for sunset
Watch the sun set over the Cambodian countryside from the upper
terraces of an ancient Angkorian temple.
• Overnight in Siem Reap |
| Day 2 - Siem Reap |
Breakfast at the hotel
• Visit Angkor Wat
The crowning jewel of Khmer architecture, ANGKOR WAT is
the national symbol and the highlight of any visit to Cambodia. The
largest, best preserved, and most religiously significant of the Angkor
temples, Angkor impresses visitors both by its sheer scale and
beautifully proportioned layout, as well as the delicate artistry of its
carvings. To approach the temple, first cross the vast moat, continuing
along a broad causeway lined with naga balustrades. As you enter the
main building, ascend through a series of galleries and courtyard before
reaching the central sanctuary, which offers beautiful views back over
the causeway and across the surrounding countryside. On the way, stop to
enjoy the intricate stonecarvings that adorn nearly every surface, with
some 1,700 Apsaras, or celestial dancers, sculpted into the walls.
Along the outer gallery walls run the longest continuous bas-relief in
the world, which narrates stories from Hindu mythology, including the
famous Churning of the Ocean of Milk. Angkor Wat is stunning at any time
of the day, but sunrise and sunset are especially beautiful times to
watch the play of light on the stones.
• Visit Ta Prohm
TA PROHM: one of the most popular attractions of Angkor
as much of the jungle has not been cleared and it looks very much as
most of the Angkor monuments would have appeared when European explorers
first stumbled across them.
• Visit Ta Som
TA SOM: built in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII
for his teacher, Som. Ta Som means old Som.
• Visit Neak Pean Temple
NEAK PEAN: built by King Jayavarman VII (ruled 1181 to
1201), it is a Buddhist temple consisting of a square pool with four
smaller square pools arranged on each axis. In the centre of the large
central pool is a circular island encircled by two nagas with
intertwined tails.
• Visit Preah Khan
PREAH KHAN: a temple built by King Jayavarman VII with
towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors in a jungle setting.
Preah Khan covers a very large area but the temple itself is enclosed
within a rectangular wall of around 700 by 800 meters.
Overnight in Siem Reap |
| Day 3 - Siem Reap |
Breakfast at the hotel
• Visit Roluos Group Temples
ROLUOS GROUP: these monuments mark the beginning of
classical art, as some of the earliest great temples built by the Khmer.
They served as the capital of Indravarman (who reigned from 877 to
889).
LOLEI: built on an islet by Yasovarman I (who ruled from 889 to 910),
the founder of the first city of Angkor. The sandstone carvings in the
niches of the temples are notable as are the Sanskrit inscriptions on
the doorposts.
PREAH KO: erected by Indravarman I in the late 9th century in dedication
to his defied ancestors in 880. There are inscriptions in Sanskrit on
the doorsteps of each temple.
BAKONG: built and dedicated to Shiva by Indravarman I, this is the
largest and most interesting of the Roluos Group of temples and still
has an active Buddhist monastery.
• Visit Banteay Srei Temple
Seemingly miniature in comparison to the other Angkor
temples, BANTEAY SREI is considered to be the jewel of classical Khmer
art. Built in pink sandstone, the walls are covered in exquisitely
preserved carvings of unusual delicacy. Because of its small size,
fairy-like atmosphere and extraordinary examples of Khmer sculpture,
this temple is often a favorite with visitors.
• Visit Banteay Samre
BANTEAY SAMRE is a mid-12th century temple dedicated
to the god Vishnu. • Visit Pre Rup Temple PRE
RUP: built by Rajendravarman II (ruled 944 to 968), it consists of a
pyramid shaped temple with the upper-most of the three tiers carrying
five square shrines arranged as a quincunx. The name means turning the
body and refers to the traditional method of cremation.
