This tour
highlights temples located a little further beyond the main Angkor
Archaeological Park.
In the morning
you will travel to a small temple of Banteay Srei well known for its
beautiful delicate carvings in warm pink
sandstone. This late 10th century temple is fairly compact and very
different from other Angkorian temples.
Once in a
complete state of disrepair resembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, our next stop - Beng
Mealea, has recently been made more accessible with the addition of a
wooden walkway throughout the structure assuring a safe access and slight
elevation, thus a better view. This mid 12th century temple features
mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism attributes and is particularly mesmerising in
the wet season.
You will have a
lunch break locally and rest during the hottest part of the day.
In the afternoon
you will head through picturesque countryside back towards Siem Reap stopping
at
the late 9th
century Hindu temples Bakong, Lolei and Preah Ko which are
collectively known as the Rolous Temple Group. Explore the early capital
of Angkor and let your guide show you the most attractive sites in this
location, the most impressive being the pyramid-like Bakong surrounded by moat
still containing water today. To finish off your day you may wish to briefly
visit Lolei temple with its four brick towers on a double laterite platform.
