Description

Following an early hotel pickup in Siem Reap, travel through the countryside to Sambor Prei Kuk, the 7th-century capital of the Chenla Kingdom founded by King Isanavarman I. Explore three main temple groups scattered throughout the tranquil forest. Marvel at early Khmer brick architecture, including the intricate lion carvings of Prasat Tao and the mossy, tree-wrapped walls of Prasat Yeay Peau. Pauses along the route include a brief view of the historic Kampong Kdei ancient bridge.

Continue to Kompong Khleang, located on the northern shore of Tonle Sap Lake. Walk or cruise through this permanent fishing community to observe its remarkable adaptation to seasonal water levels—featuring soaring 10-meter-high stilted houses in the dry season and floating structures during the monsoon. Gain rare cultural insights into daily life on Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake before a comfortable private drive back to Siem Reap for hotel drop-off.

Private Anlong Veng Khmer Rouge Tour from Siem Reap

,
An interesting touring addition for those who have a little more time in Siem Reap and are keen to learn about the recent turbulent history of Cambodia. Anlong Veng lies 125km north of Siem Reap in the area of Dangrek Mountains which mark the border between Cambodia and Thailand. It appears on the touring map for two main reasons: it was the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge and is the resting place of Pol Pot. Not much remains of Pol Pot's bunker but a shell of a house overgrown with foliage and “decorated” with profane graffiti. The province still has plenty of mine fields but these are away from the town centre and experts are working continuously on their clearance. Your guide will be able to shed more light on the last few decades and perhaps share the story of his/her family in those difficult times.

Then, we visit The archaeological site of Koh Ker, UNESCO on September 17, 2023, a sacred urban ensemble of numerous temples and sanctuaries including sculptures, inscriptions, wall paintings, and archaeological remains. Constructed over a twenty-three-year period, it was one of two rival Khmer Empire capitals – the other being Angkor – and was the sole capital from 928 to 944 CE. Established by King Jayavarman IV, his sacred city was believed to be laid out on the basis of ancient Indian religious concepts of the universe. The new city demonstrated unconventional city planning, artistic expression and construction technology, especially the use of very large monolithic stone blocks. Back to Siem Reap.

Private Trekking Tour to The World Heritage Temples

A perfect tour for the active visitor! The Angkor Archaeological Park is a largely shaded forested area, so if you wish to combine your temple sightseeing with a healthy dose of walking, this tour is for you! You will be dropped off at Spean Neak bridge and start your walk to Angkor Wat Temple. Then, keep walking on the 8m high laterite wall to the East Gate (Death Gate). This short section of the wall has a clear worn path which is used by local traffic, occasionally you may meet people collecting wood and going on about their daily business. Through breaks in the forest canopy, you will be able to glance at the Angkor Thom moat below and on the other side the slope into the dense jungle. Back on level ground you will pass Prasat Pram Pi Lveng and continue to the Khleang temple group and the Preah Pithu Group, Tanei and Taprohm Temples. Although in plain sight and passed by many, these temples are rarely explored and thus well worth a short stop. You are almost guaranteed to have them to yourself!
