Scattered over a large area, the most prominent temple of this group by far is the pyramid-like Prasat Thom.

Day 1 : Hariharaliya Group & Lady Temple
Pick up you at hotel and transfer to visit Prah Ko Hinduism temple built in 879 AD to dedicate his ancestor: the king’s parents, maternal grandparents, and a previous king, Jayavarman II and his wife. You will see a lot of stucco on the bricks of each tower. Then, visit Bakong Temple, the first mountain temple in Angkorian Period. It was built in 881 AD. The most interesting feature is 5 tier temple and surrounded by moat and dedicated to Siva (Hindu). Next, visit Lolei built on an islet in the center of a large reservoir. Now there is a Buddhist temple inside the compound of temple. After that, go to visit Banteay Srei temple (10th century) regarded as the jewel in the crown of classical Khmer art. Banteay Srei was a new name which meaning in Khmer is “Citadel of Woman”. Finally we go to visit Banteay Samre, one of the most complete complexes at Angkor due to restoration using the method of “anastylosis”. Back to hotel and drop off.
Day 2 : Angkor Thom, Taprohm & Angkor Wat
Meet you at the lobby of hotel at 8 am. Then, we are going to Angkor Thom, which includes South gate of Angkor Thom, Bayon, Bapoun, Pimean Akas, Terrece of Elephant, Terrace of Leper king. Then, continue visiting Taprom temple. Break for lunch.
Afternoon: Visit Angkor Wat, first a Hindu, then subsequently a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura ( present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shivaism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer Architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on the Cambodian National Flag. Back to the town and drop off at hotel.
Day 3 : Jungle Temple & Koh Keh Group
After breakfast, transfer to visit Beng Mealea lost in the jungle and almost forgotten by the local population and takes 50 km from the town. Next, visit Koh Ker temple group. The archaeological site of Koh Ker, UNESCO on September 17, 2023, is 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. On the way back, we visit Tonle Sap Lake (the largest fresh water in South East Asia) to see the fascinating floating Village called Kompong Khleang, village houses on high stilts above the water. Return to the town and drop off.
