PROGRAM DETAILS:

Siem Reap in the provincial town from where you can explore the temples of Angkor. This morning visit the famous Angkor Wat Temple, the largest and undoubtedly the most breathtaking of the monuments of the Angkor Archeological Park. It was constructed as a funerary temple for Suryavarman ll (ruled 1112-52) to honor Vishnu, the Hindu deity who the king identified with. Then continue for the visit of the most intriguing of the temples of Angkor; The Ta Prohm temple built by Jayavarman VII. The main characteristic of this temple is that you feel like small discoverers uncovering a lost treasure in the jungle. In the afternoon you will visit of the Great City of Angkor Thom. You will visit first the South Gate of Angkor Thom, built by Angkor's greatest king, Jayavarman VII, who ruled from 1181-1201, and came to power just after the disastrous sacking by the Chams of the previous Khmer capital. It is enclosed by a square wall 8m high and 12 km in length and encircled by a moat 100m wide, said to have been inhabited by fierce crocodiles. Continue to the Bayon Temple, known to have been built by Jayavarman VII, though for many years its origins were obscure. Shrouded in dense jungle, it also took researchers some time to realise that it stands in the exact center of the city of Angkor Thom. Then visit the Baphoun, the Terrace of Elephants and the Terrace of Leper King. (L)
