Day 2:  SIEM REAP FULL DAY TOUR (by A/C car)

Today, let’s experience a fullday tour to discover the Angkor Temples Complex. Morning, continuing visit to the Angkor Thom (Big Angkor) on late 12th - early 13th century C.E., is a 3km2 walled and moated royal cities and was the last capital of the Angkorian empire. There are five entrances (gates) to the city, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area. Each gate is crowned with 4 giant faces; first stop for visiting is The South Gate, then Bayon - the Angkor's greatest temple. The giant stone faces of Bayon have become one of the most recognizable images connected to classic Khmer art and architecture. There are 37 standing towers; the best of Bayon are the bas-reliefs on the exterior walls of the lower level and on the upper level where the stone faces reside. Proceeding to visit a double terrace wall are the Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of the Elephants, the walls display some particularly fine sculpture including the five headed horse and scenes of warriors and dancers, with deeply carved nagas, demons and other mythological beings. Afternoon, you will visit Thommanon, small, attractive temple in very good condition, built at the same time as Angkor Wat. It’s Angkor Wat style is most easily seen in the style of the carved apsaras and the shape of the tower, Chaosay Tevoda, it seems to stand in partnership with Thommanon but actually was built much later in Suryavarman II’s rule than Thommanon, Banteay Kdei, Srash Srong. Then visit Kravan & especially Ta Phrom Temple, was a monastery built by Jayavarman VII as a residence for his mother. Ta Prohm has been controversially left to the destructive power of the jungle by French archeologists to show how nature can destroy man's work. It has been largely overgrown by the jungle and as you climb through the dilapidated stone structures you see many giant trees growing out of the top of the temple itself. Ta Prohm looks as many of the monuments did when European explorers first laid eyes on them. Back to hotel and free leisure at night. Overnight in Siem Reap. (B)

Day 3:  SIEM REAP FULL DAY TOUR (by A/C car)

After breakfast, continue to discover the Ancient Temples. Firstly, visit the Banteay Srei, a beautiful 10th-century Hindu temple complex about 23 miles north of Angkor Wat. The temple consists of low walls surrounding peaked structures of deep red sandstone. Banteay Srei means "Citadel of Women," and it is said that the reliefs on this temple are so delicate that they could only have been carved by the hand of a woman. The well-preserved relief carvings on the central buildings depict scenes from ancient Hindu tales. Completed in 967, Banteay Srei was the only major temple which was not built for the king; instead it was constructed by one of king Rajendravarman's counsellors, Yajnyavahara. The temple was primarily dedicated to Shiva (the southern buildings and the central tower was devoted to him,but the northern ones to Vishnu) It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei 25 km (15 miles) northeast of the main group of temples, where the capital of the time (Yashodharapura) was located. After that, proceed to visit the Kbal Spean. Commonly known as the valley of a 1000 Lingas, Kbal Spean: is set deep in the jungle to the north east of Angkor. A 45 minute steep walk takes you to the river and waterfalls  where hundreds of phalluses are carved on the riverbed. The waterfall here is best seen at the end of the rainy season.  At the top of the falls are numerous carved figures and animals  This site has only been opened up to tourism since 1998 and is less crowded than the nearby Phnom Koulen. This Hindu Pilgrimage site predates Angkor Wat by some 200 years; making it one the most ancient sites in the region. Kbal Spean is looked after very well; the waymarked trail is a very attractive route through atmospheric jungle.  The path is steep; with some well maintained steps. Sounds of birds and wildlife with hundreds of butterflies enhance the visit.  Back to hotel  and free at leisure at night.  Overnight in Siem Reap. (B)
