----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETAIL ITINERARY:
Day 1: Arrive to
Phnom Penh
Transfer from Phnom Penh International Airport to
the hotel.
Afternoon, Phnom Penh city tour: Visit the Victory
Monument,
and the National
Museum,
also called Musee des Beaux-Arts. A French
archaeologist and painter, Georges Groslier,
designed it in Khmer style in 1917. The museum
contains a collection of Khmer art - notably
sculptures - from throughout the ages. Visit the Royal
Palace,
built by King Norodom in 1866 on the site of
the old town, and the Silver
Pagoda.
Located within the grounds of the Royal Palace, the
Silver Pagoda is so named because of its floor,
which is made up of 5000 silver tiles. The treasures
found inside include a solid gold Buddha
encrusted and weighing 90kilograms and a
small 17th century
emerald and baccarat crystal Buddha. End your
afternoon with the visit of the Wat
Phnom Temple,
Phnom Penh's
namesake, from where you can enjoy views over the
tree-lined avenues of the city during sunset. Accommodation at
hotel.
Day 2: Phnom Penh - Siem
Reap (B)
Breakfast at hotel.
Transfer to Phnom Penh International Airport and
departure by Siem Reap Airways International or
similar to Siem Reap. Arrive at Siem Reap
International Airport and transfer to the hotel (rooms
may not ready until the afternoon).
Visit Preah
Khan,
built by the King Jayavarman VII and, like Ta Prohm,
a place of towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging
corridors. Unlike Ta Prohm, however, the temple of
Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation
and ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and
even improve this situation. Neak
Pean,
a fountain (built in the middle of a pool and
representing the paradisiacal Himalayan
mountain-lake), the temple of Ta
Som, as
well as the unique brick sculptures of Prasat
Kravan.
Afternoon, Visit the ancient capital of Angkor
Thom (12th century).
See the South
Gate with
its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean
of milk, the Royal
Enclosure, Phimeanakas,
the Elephants
Terrace, the Terrace
of the Leper King and Bayon
Temple (unique
for its 54 towers decorated with over 200 smiling
faces of Avolokitesvara). Sunset
at Pre Rup.
Accommodation
at hotel.
Day 3: Siem Reap -
Departure (B)
Breakfast at hotel.
In the morning, visit the most famous of all the
temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor
Wat. The
temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable
in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its
distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the
Cambodian flag and the 12th century
masterpiece is considered by art historians to be
the prime example of classical Khmer art and
architecture. Angkor Wat's
five towers symbolize Meru's
five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the
mountains at the edge of the world and the
surrounding moat, the ocean beyond.
Afternoon, visit Ta
Prohm,
one of the most beautiful temples in the area. Ta
Prohm has been left relatively untouched since it
was discovered and retains much of its mystery.
Visit also Chau
Say Tevoda and Thommanon. Transfer
to Siem Reap International Airport for departure
flight to the next destination.
