Siem Reap: 2-Day Temple Highlights Sunrise and Sunset Option

Siem Reap: 2-Day Temple Highlights Sunrise and Sunset Option

Day 1: Pre Rub, Neak Pean, Preah Khan, Banteay Srei, and Bakheng Temple Today we visit the most interesting temples outside Angkor Thom city. You begin with first stop at Pre Rup Hindu temple built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. Continue a drive for the intricately carved and well-preserved Banteay Srei. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. Banteay Srei has only been accessible since the late 1990s, when the Khmer Rouge left the area. Return your journey back and visit Neak Pean temples, an artificial island with a Buddhist temple on a circular island in Jayatataka Baray and continue your afternoon to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric mélange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures. Construction of this site was commissioned by the great 'temple builder' Jayavaraman VII (in honor of his father) and a visit to this smaller site makes for an interesting contrast with the more imposing Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently being restored by the World Monument Fund and in places is in remarkably good condition. On the way back, enjoy a brief stop and discoveries with an ascent for sunset at Bakheng mountain temple. Late afternoon return to town after a memorable day exploration. Day 2: Angkor Wat at sunrise, Ta Nei & Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor Thom Bayon  Begin with a pre-dawn departure for sunrise outside of Angkor Wat. Enter the great temple in darkness (please bring a torch) from the little-visited eastern side, and creep along hoary cloistered corridors past the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world. End your tour at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple. Continue by moving on to the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm – one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot ‘rediscovered’ this crumbling site. Move to drive to Ta Nei, a late 12th Century stone temple located in Angkor. Visit the southern Gate of Angkor Thom, flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side - gods to the left and demons to the right – and the fortified city of Angkor Thom. At ‘The Bayon’, you will see its beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces, then explore the famous Terrace of the Leper King and the Terrace of Elephants.

You'll be amazed by the sight of this ancient temple that's embraced by the roots of enormous strangler fig trees. It's no wonder that this temple gained worldwide fame after being featured in Tomb Raider II. Next, we'll take a break at the peaceful Takeo temple, where you can sample delicious seasonal fruits from local vendors and soak in the tranquil surroundings. From there, we'll move on to the serene Ta Keo & Ta Nei temples, where you can enjoy a moment of calm and reflection. Our last stop will be Angkor Thom, the last capital city of the Khmer empire. Here, you'll be able to witness the grandeur of this once-great civilization through impressive monuments like the Bayon temple, Baphuon, and the Terrace of the Elephants. You'll also get to see one of the five gates with gigantic faces that served as the entrance to this ancient city. At the end of the tour, we'll drive you back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this amazing adventure. Day 2: Banteay Srei temple & Beng Mealea temple Embark on a breathtaking tour of Banteay Srei and Beng Mealea on your second day. The journey begins with a scenic hour-long drive through the Cambodian countryside, leading you to the most beautiful carving temple, Banteay Srei. This temple's intricate carvings on pink sandstones are guaranteed to leave you mesmerized. After exploring Banteay Srei, we'll take another picturesque drive with breathtaking views of the Kulen mountain range to reach Beng Mealea. Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to take a short break and indulge in fresh coconut or seasonal fruit from a local vendor before wandering into the ruins. Beng Mealea is a mysterious temple of Angkor built in the 12th century in the style of Angkor Wat and dedicated to Hinduism. This sprawling jungle temple over one square kilometer is largely overrun by vegetation, but don't let that discourage you. You'll have plenty of time to explore the ruins in-depth, taking an unusual route to see parts that are seldom visited. The temple is more accessible, so you'll be able to scramble over the tumbled blocks and traverse the walls of the temple, which is an adventure in itself. As the tour comes to an end, we'll drive back to Siem Reap and drop you off at your hotel.

Such a great tour with Pireak (Pi) as our guide and Seyha as our driver. We saw 9 temples across the two days and learned so much about the history and design of them. We made a lunch stop day 1 + a breakfast stop day 2, and the food was good. Pi was always ready to answer any question we had, whether about the temples or about Cambodia in general. He’s very funny and talkative, and he also helped us take lots of great photos. We never felt rushed. They were perfectly on time each day for hotel pickups. Pi and Seyha went out of their way to plan things perfectly so we would be front row for sunrise and sunset (a feat when there are lots of tourists around!). Seyha always had plenty of water for each of us, and we loved that he met us after hot hours touring the temples with cold towels and an air-conditioned bus. I also liked that it was a small tour (8 people day 1, 12 people day 2) unlike some of the huge groups we saw out there at the most popular temples. Don’t hesitate.

It was so nice that they gave us cool mint towels and water every time we got in the car. The driver remembered all our faces, so we were able to quickly find the tour car among the similar-looking vans. And our guide, Samnang Yean, spoke English really well and had a ton of historical knowledge. And of all the guides I've met, he took the best pictures. Thank you so much. It was a time that I didn't regret spending money on.

A must do tour if you are in Siem Reap! Mr. Chhay really created an entertaining and enriching experience of seeing the temples and learning the history behind them. Not only did we get to see secret spots less traveled, we were also treated to five star service with water and chilled towels along the way. I would recommend this tour again and again.

Amazing tour with Sopheaprath, thank you so much! Very detailed historic explanations and a wide variety of temples! Great bus experience too with driver! 1000% recommend! Thank you!!

all perfect the guide chhay was well above expectations. tour comprehensive and fun
