About the Package

Visit the lost empire
Visitors are amazed at the scale of Angkor City. The complex covers around 400 square kilometers and comprises over 100 monuments and edifices of temples, sculptures, statues and incomparable bas-relief that have withstood the ravages of time.
The enormous temple complexes had been expanded to the large area by successive kings. The architectural style of Angkor is largely based on Indian (Hindu) cosmology to symbolize the center of the universe and mixed with Chinese and local architecture. At the fall of the Empire, the jungle reclaimed the decaying ruins until being rediscovered in 1861.

Angkor Wat
Perhaps the most famous temple of Angkor complex is Angkor Wat. The temple complex built under the reigns of Suryavarman II (1113 - 1150) presents several architectural masterpieces of ancient Khmers. The compound of Angkor Wat covers almost a square mile and is surrounded by a huge moat 180 meter wide. On this tour, our guide will elaborate on the design and history of the vast pyramid temples and their surrounding structures.

Baphuon Temple
Built in the reign of King Udayadityavarman II (1050-66), Baphuon Temple features some of the finest sculptures ever found in Angkor. The beautifully carved lintels, doorframes and columns are main attraction of the Baphuon. However, the most striking beauty of Baphuon is its beauty of Baphuon is its bas-relief that stretches for hundreds of yards. The long carved stone depicts scenes from Hindu mythologies (Mahabharata and Ramayana) and a scene of Suryavarman holding court.

Legend of a temple
Another mystique of Angkor is the legends that attach to the temples. For example, one of the tales about Phimeanakas Temple was reported that the highest central tower of the temple was a chamber where the king sneaked to sleep and be entertained by a snake-transformed beautiful woman. The secret meeting between the king and the snake princess was significant to the prosperity and the decline of the kingdom. Learn about the legends of these temples from our guide.

Bayon
The eeriness and mystery that looms over Angkor Thom is enhanced even more by the hazy appearance of Bayon with its carved heads of Jayavaraman VII (accredited for constructing the city) jutting from the top of the building. Each of the 54 towers surrounding the edifice depict smiling faces of the king portrayed as Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara (Buddha), which may appear somewhat ominous to modern eyes.

Ta Phrom; temple of memory
The temple complex of Ta Prohm and Preah Khan are filled with memory. Built during the 12th century, the temples were dedicated to King Jayavarman VII's parents. At Ta Prohm, the temple ruins are invaded by trees and deliberately left in the same conditions as it was found in 1860. To explore Ta Phrom is to climb over piles of fallen sandstone blocks or sift through narrow passages-some parts of the temple are in accessible. Despite these difficulties, this sanctuary is considered by many as the most romantic site in Angkor. Another temple complex near Ta Phrom is Preah Khan in which its buildings were used as religious university, residence and hospitals.
