Read what our clients write about this tour:


Очень приятно было общаться с г-ном Мэнгом, как по электронке, на стадии бронирования (отвечает сразу и подробно), так и лично. Очень приятный, опрятный гестхауз, действительно, домик для гостей с очень радушным персоналом, хорошей кухней и очень приятными ценами за все. Обычно мы, путешествуя, никогда не используем "пакетные" туры, но здесь сделали исключение и очень рады этому. Во-первых это похоже больше на обслуживание VIP персон, чем тур для туристов-пакетников. Последние полгода мы все время в дороге, и посетили на своем пути много гестхаузов, и Ta Som достойно занял первое место в нашем рейтинге. Пять баллов! Более подробно о наших путешествиях можете прочитать здесь: http://alec220.livejournal.com Your Name: Киселев Алексей Posted Date: 03/06/2011.


Translation of the above review in English:


Very pleasant to chat with Mr. Meng by mail, under booking (responds immediately and in detail), and personally. Really very nice guesthouse, cottage for guests with very friendly staff, good food and very pleasant prices for everything. Typically, when you travel, we never use "budget" tours, but made an exception and are very excited about this. Firstly it looks like more on services than VIP tour for package tourists. The last six months, we are constantly on the go, and went on his journey many guesthouses and Ta Som was ranked first in our rating. Five points!

Drive with our experienced English speaking guide to the Roluos Temple group, located in the Southeast of Angkor.
 

Visit Lolei, Preah Koh and Bakong Temple.


In Roluos, the first temple mountain of the Angkorian plain was built, the Bankong. Study the principles of Khmer architecture whose evolution you will later see in the other places of this intensive tour.
 
Driver to Angkor Archaeological Park and visit Angkor Thom.

After having discussed these questions, you have breakfast ( as breakfast box) on the pittoresque Srah Srang Water Basin. Enjoy this quite place, the former royal bath.


Start for a walking tour through Banteay Kdei and Ta Prohm, the so called jungle temple. This tour is easy and takes us about two hours. (In our opinion as tour agency, walking is a much more intensive way to "feel" and to "smell" Angkor than sitting only in a car and getting off at some spots.


If you want, the walking tour can be shortened up to one hour, according to your condition.)

 

Visit of Ta Prohm


The EFEO (Ecole Francaise d'Extrême-Orient) has decided to keep this tempel overgrown by the jungle. Enjoy the trees growing out from the temple ruins and feel like the first explorers and "rediscoverers" of Angkor, like Henri Mouhot or Lunet de Lajonquière.

After your breakfast in Ta Som Guesthouse, enjoy an excursion in the Northern part of the Angkor Archaeological Park.

On your way, you pass through picturesque landscapes with ricefields and sugar palms to another highlight of Angkor: the famous and precious Banteay Srei Temple.

Banteay Srei means "the citadel of the women" and is reknown because of its incredible sandstone carvings looking like wood. It really deserves the name "diamond of Angkor".

After having studied the different reliefs depicting scenes of Hindu mythology, we go on northwards to a holy place, where in Angkorian times, thousands of Lingas (the phallus symbol of the Lord Shiva) have been carved into the riverbed, in order to fertilize the water going down to the Angkorian plain.

Day 5: Explorers Day: Koh Ker and Beng Mealea


This is your explorer's day!
 
Thanks to a new road, we can go now in one day to hidden temple areas, that have just recently been opened for tourists.

Feel like the first explorers of Angkor, when you stroll over ruins and through deep tropical vegetation in Koh Ker and Beng Mea Lea.
 
After early breakfast in Ta Som Guesthouse, start northeastwards, after 1 ½ hours, arrive in Koh Ker.  Visit at first the 35 metres high temple mountain, called Prasat Thom.  Breathtaking views from the summit.
 
Drive around by your car to remote temple areas with gopura and nice carvings and lintels. See the holy lingas in the cellas.  Visit the stone carries, where the sandstone, used for building most Angkor temples, was broken.
 
You will have picnic lunch on a lovely place on the baray (water basin) in Beng Mea Lea.
 
Feel like the first explorers when you search your way over broken ruins and temple walls. The large temple area is still overgrown by the tropical dry forest. Beng Mea Lea temple is on the old Angkorian roads leading from Angkor to the Great temple of Preah Khan of Kompong Svay. You will see some of the old stone bridges.
 
In the late afternoon, you drive back to Siem Reap, to Ta Som Guesthouse.

By observation, there are 52 small and big sanctuaries are in fairly good condition, the other 52 sanctuaries were fallen down and buried into the ground, and then became small hills. The sanctuaries were built of brick and limestone with the decoration of bas-relief on the scenery walls. The foundation of sanctuary was made of laterite, false door, diamond column and the sculptures were made of sandstone.

Prasat Sambor Group (Northern Sanctuaries)
 
Northern sanctuary group comprised 11 sanctuaries separated from each other with the one at the middle, and had two-wall rampart. The sanctuaries were built of brick and limestone and carve in the beautifully real khmer style. These achievements certified the real khmer talent, after received the influence from India. Khmer had prepared her country and developed arts by herself. The every great development was in Angkor civilization period. The sanctuary was built on a rectangular hill (24m 21m or 25,200 square meters or 2.52 hectares).


The sanctuary comprised 14 temples (only 8 remains), and were surrounded by two-wall rampart. These temples were constructed in various plans-square and octagonal shapes. The top of the temple was carved in lotus petals of sandstone, but some parts were cracked down and buried into the ground and the pile of bricks.


Kampong Kdei bridge
 
The Kampong Kdei Bridge is located in Doeumpor Village, Kok Thlok Kraom Commune, Chi Krèng District, Siem Reap Province. It is 254 km away from the Phnom Penh Capital along the National Road No 6 and 60 km southeast of the Siem Reap Town.

The bridge was erected by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century. At that time, it was located in the stretch of the road between the Angkorean City and Phan Rang past Sambo Prei Kuh, Wat Nokor, Ba Phnom and Indra Borei.

During his reign, along the road in every 15 km, there was an electric lamp-installed rest-house that enabled travelers to stop for a while or to stay overnight before they continued their trips.

Nowadays, between the Siem Reap Town and the Kampong Thom provincial boundary we see only ten ancient bridges, but the Kampong Kdei Bridge is the longest one that is 80m long and 14m wide and has twenty-one axes.

The Kampong Kdei Bridge is now firmly standing, and it is still being used as a main infrastructure for facilitating both travel and heavy loaded truck.


Day 3 Visit roluos Group - Angkor thom
 
Roluos group is a modern small town and an archeological site about 13 km east of Siem Reap along National Road 6. Once it was the seat of Hariharalaya, first capital of Khmer Empire north of Tonle Sap (as the first capital in the strict sense of the term could have been Indrapura, identifiable with Banteay Prey Nokor).Among "Rolous Group" of temples there are some of the earliest permanent structures built by Khmer.
 
They mark the beginning of classical period of Khmer civilization, dating from the late 9th century. Some were totally built with bricks, others partially with laterite or sandstone (the first large angkorian temple built with sandstone was possibly Ta Keo).At present it is composed by three major temples: Bakong,Lo Lei and Preah Ko. At both Bakong and Lo Lei there are contemporary Theravada Buddhist Monasteries.


Visit Preah Ko temple
 
Preah Ko (The Sacred Bull) was the first temple to bebuilt in the ancient and now defunct city of Hariharalaya (in the area thattoday is called Roluos), some 15 kilometers south-east of the main group oftemples at Angkor, Cambodia.


The temple was built under the Khmer KingIndravarman I in 879 to honor members of the king's family, whom it places inrelation with the Hindu deity Shiva.


Visit Lo Lei temple
 
Lolei is the northern most temple of the Roluos group of three late 9thcentury Hindu temples at Angkor, the others members of which are Preah Ko andthe Bakong. Lolei was the last of the three temples to be built as part of thecity of Hariharalaya that once flourished at Roluos, and in 893 the Khmer KingYasovarman I dedicated it to Shiva and to members of the royal family.

The name"Lolei" is thought to be a modern corruption of the ancient name"Hariharalaya," which means "the city of Harihara." Once anisland temple, Lolei was located on an island slightly north of centre in thenow dry Indratataka Baray, construction of which had nearly been completedunder Yasovarman's father and predecessor Indravarman I.

Scholars believe thatplacing the temple on an island in the middle of a body of water served toidentify it symbolically with Mount Meru, home of the gods, which in Hindumythology is surrounded by the world oceans.


Angkor Thom (South gate, Bayon,Bapuon,Phimeanaka,Elephants & Liper king Terrace)
 
Start from the South Gate of Angkor Thom is one of the five gate ways into the ancient Khmer city of Angkor Thom. The South Gate is the most visited of the five Angkor Thom gates, as it is the one nearest to Angkor Wat. The South Gate of Angkor Thom is also the best preserved and restored.Compared with the other gates of Angkor Thom, the South Gate is quite complete. As we approach it, we can see a row of statues on each side of the causeway.On the left are the gods while on the right are the demons, or Asuras.

They are supposed to be engaged in a tug-of-war holding on to the seven-headed serpent,or Naga. This is a three-dimensional depiction of the Hindu creation myth, churningof the Ocean of Milk, which is also shown in two-dimension on the base-relief of  Angkor Wat.


Visit Bayon Temple
 
The Bayon temple (Prasat Bayon) is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia.Built in the late 12th century or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.

The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak.The temple is known also for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present anunusual combination of mythological, historical and mundane scenes.


The current main conservatory body, the Japanese Government team for the Safe guarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as "the most striking expressionof the baroque style" of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.


Bapuon Temple
 
The Baphuon is located in Angkor Thom, northwest of the Bayon temple. Built in the mid-11th century, it is a three-tiered temple mountain built as the state temple of Udayadityavarman II dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. It is the archetype of the Baphuon style. The temple adjoins the southern enclosure of the royal palace and measures 120 metres east-west by 100 metres north-south at its base and stands 34 meters tall without its tower, which would have made it roughly 50 meters tall.

Its appearance apparently impressed Emperor Chengzong of Yuan China's late 13th century envoy Chou Ta-Kuan during his visit from 1296 to 1297, who said it was 'the Tower of Bronze...a truly astonishing spectacle, with more than ten chambers at its base.' In the late 15th century, the Baphuon was converted to a Buddhist temple.

A 9 meter tall by 70 meter long statue of a reclining Buddha was built on the west side's second level, which probably required the demolition of the 8 meter tower above, thus explaining its current absence. The temple was built on land filled with sand, and due to its immense size the site was unstable throughout its history. Large portions had probably already collapsed by the time the Buddha was added.

By the 20th century, much of the temple had largely collapsed, and restoration efforts have since proven problematic: a first effort begun in 1960 was interrupted by the coming to power of the Khmer Rouge, and records of the positions of the stones were lost. A second attempt started in 1995 by a team of French-led archeologists as of 2005 was still ongoing, restricting visitor access. As of November 2010, partial visitor access was once again allowed, though not to the central structure.

In April 2011, after 51 years, the archaeologists finished the restoration of the temple. King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and Prime Minister Francois Fillon of France were among those who first toured the renovated temple during the inauguration ceremony on July 3, 2011.

Phimean Akas

 

Phimeanakas  isa Hindu temple in the Kheang style, built at the end of the 10th century,during the reign of Rajendravarman (from 941-968), then rebuilt by SuryavarmanII in the shape of a three tier pyramid as a Hindu temple. On top of thepyramid there was a tower.


According to legend, the king spent the first watch of everynight with a woman thought to represent a Naga in the tower, during that time,not even the queen was permitted to intrude.


Only in the second watch the kingreturned to his palace with the queen. If the Naga who was the supreme landowner of Khmer land did not show up for a night, the king's day would benumbered, if the king did not show up, calamity would strike his land.


Elephant & Liper King terrace

 

The Terrace of the Elephants is part of the walledcity of Angkor Thom. The terrace was used by Angkor's king Jayavarman VII as aplatform from which to view his victorious returning army. It was attached tothe palace of Phimeanakas, of which only a few ruins remain.


Most of theoriginal structure was made of organic material and has long since disappeared.


Most of what remains are the foundation platforms of the complex. The terraceis named for the carvings of elephants on its eastern face.


The 350m-long Terrace of Elephants was used as a giantreviewing stand for public ceremonies and served as a base for the king's grandaudience hall. It has five outworks extending towards the Central Square-threein the centre and one at each end.


The middle section of the retaining wall isdecorated with life size Garuda and Lions; owards either end are the two partsof the famous parade of elephants complete with their Khmer mahouts.


Liper king Terrace:

 

The Terrace of the Leper King (or LeperKing Terrace) is located in the northwest corner of the Royal Square of AngkorThom. It was built in the Bayon style under Jayavarman VII, though its modernname derives from a 15th century sculpture discovered at the site. The statuedepicts the Hindu god Yama, the god of Death.


He was called the Leper Kingbecause discoloration and moss growing on the original statue was reminiscentof a person with leprosy, and also because it fit in with a Cambodian legend ofan Angkorian king who had leprosy.


The name that the Cambodians know him by,however, is Dharmaraja, as this is what was etched at the bottom of theoriginal statue. The U-shaped structure is thought by some to have been used asa royal cremation site.


Day 4 (Banteay Srey, Banteay Sam Re & Tonle Sap Lak)

 

Visit Banteay Srey temple:


Banteay Srey is a 10th century temple dedicated to the Hindu godShiva. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-eastof the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals ofYasodharapura and Angkor Thom.


Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, amedium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which arestill observable today.


The buildings themselves are miniature in scale,unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. Thesefactors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led toits being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel ofKhmer art.


Prasat Banteay Sam Re:

 

Banteay Sam Re is a temple which located east of the East Baray. Built under Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II in the early 12th century, it is a Hindu temple in the Angkor Wat style. The temple uses the same materials as the Banteay Srey.

Day 5 (Angkor Wat - grand tour - Ta Prohm)

 

Visit Angkor Wat is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century.


They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.

Grand Tour (Pre Rup,East Mebon, Ta Som, Neak Pean & Preah Khan temple)

 

Visit Prasat Pre Rup:


Pre Rup temple was built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick,laterite and sandstone construction.The temple’s name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body". This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple, with the ashes of the body being ritually rotated in different directions as the service progressed.



Visit Ta Som temple

 

Ta Som is a small temple, built at the end of the 12th century for King JayavarmanVII. It is located north east of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean.The King dedicated the temple to his father Dharamindravarman II (Paramanishkalapada) who was King of the Khmer Empire from 1150 to 1160.


The temple consists of asingle shrine located on one level and surrounded by enclosure laterite walls.Like the nearby Preah Khan and Ta Prohm the temple was left largely unrestored,with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins.

In 1998, the Wotld Monuments Fund (WMF) added the temple to their restoration  program and  began work to stabilise the structure to make it safer for visitors.


Visit Neak Pean temple:

 

Neak Pean ("The entwined serpents") is anartificial island with a Buddhist temple on a circular island in Preah KhanBaray built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII.


Some historians believe that Neak Pean represents Anavatapta,a mythical lake in the Himalayas whose waters are thought to cure all illness.NeakPean was originally designed for medical purposes, as it is one of the manyhospitals that Jayavarman VII built. It is based on the ancient Hindu belief ofbalance.


Four connected pools represent Water, Earth, Fire and Wind. Theancients believed that going into these pools would balance the elements in thebather, thus curing disease. In the middle of the four healing ponds is thecentral water source. There is a statue of Balaha (Bodhisattva Guanvintransformed into a horse), as a symbol of drowning prevention.


Visit Preah Khan temple:

 

Preah Khan is built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII. It is located north east of Angkor Thom and just west of the Jayatataka baray, with which it was associated. It was the centre of asubstantial organisation, with almost 100,000 officials and servants. The temple is flat in design, with a basic plan of successive rectangular galleries around a Buddhist sanctuary complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions. Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins.


Visit Ta Prohm temple:

 

Ta Prohm was built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.


Day 6 (visit Koh Ker & Beng Mea Lea temple)

 

The Koh Ker temple locatednortheast of Siem Reap, represents the remnants of the capital of the KhmerEmpire from 928 AD. - 944 A.D. - a very unique period in the Age of Angkor.From the time the Khmer capital was first moved to the Angkor area in the late9th century, it would remain there for almost 500 years, with one briefinterruption.


Just a few decades after the establishment at Angkor, there was adisruption in the royal succession for reasons that remain a matter of academicdebate. What is known is that in 928 A.D. King Jayavarman IV, possibly ausurper to the throne, created a new capital 100km away at Koh Ker,either moving the capital city from Angkor or creating a rival capital.


Obviously a king of much wealth and power, he raised an impressive royal cityat Koh Ker of Brahmanic monuments, temples and Prasats, surrounding a huge Baray (reservoir) Rahal. Jayavarman IV reigned at Koh Ker for 20 yearsbefore he died in 941 A.D. His son Hashavarman II would remain at Koh Ker foranother 3 years before returning the capital to the Angkor area.


The monumentsof Koh Ker are now on a road loop around the Baray past the most importanttemples. The premier ruin of the complex is Prasat Thom, an imposing 7-tieredpyramid and temple complex. (Best photographed in the morning and offering abird’s eye view from the top.) As you round the loop, there are several nicelypreserved ruins sit just off the road, impressive Prasats and small templecomplexes.


There are lingas still in place in some monuments such as PrasatBalang and Prasat Thneng. For the enthusiast, there are also dozens of other,more remote ruins in the area.


Beng Mea Lea temple

 

Visit Beng Mea Lea temple is one of the largest ensembles in the Angkor region, covering an area -within its 45m.00 wide moats that cover a distance of 4,200m all around - of108 hectares, and comparable therefore of its plan, the harmonious equilibriumof its composition and the sense of the monumental, given effect by the largeclear surfaces - the decoration is simple and animated only in certain areas,and so shown to particular advantage. Platforms,bases and capitals, - cornices underlined with a single frieze, - the tympanumsof the frontons and devatas are the main elements of an ornamentation that isgenerally discreet while maintaining excellent quality.

Temple Towers in the Rainforest

Tour Code: TSTS-SPK-01

Destination: Sambor Prei Kuk

Duration: 1 day


On the old Angkorian royal road, passing Angkorian bridges we go off the beaten tracks to the lost temple city of "Sambor Prei Kuk". Over 200 brick temples of the 6th and 7th century are overgrown by tropical vegetation and even older than Angkor Wat.


ITINERARY


Off the beaten tracks to Sambor Prei Kuk


The temple area of Sambor Prei Kuk covers nearly 1000 acres with over 200 brick temples from the 6th and 7th centuries.


The temples are set admist a light tropical forest and are still largely overgrown by the vegetation. Sambor Prei Kuk was the ancient capital of Chenla, called Isanapura. The site is not yet "tourisitic", so enjoy this quiet place whose temples are older than Angkor Wat!

 

In the morning, driving by 4x4 (landrover) 150 km southeastwards, enjoy the journey through the rich farmlands and the scenery of rice fields, water buffaloes and authentic Khmer village life.








Near the city of Kampong Thom, see the well preserved old Angkorian bridge with nice Naga statues. This bridge was part of the old royal Angkorian road leading from the Khmer provinces to the capital of Angkor.








In Sambor Prei Kuk temple area, we focus our visits on Prasat Sambor (North Group),  Prasat Yeah Puon (South Group) and Prasat Thor (Central Group), the so called "lion temple".


See as well the astonishing Prasat Asram Isey and visit also small "offroad temples" overgrown by jungle.

The lintels are particularly beautiful with their rich decoration (Sambor Prei Kuk style).


We have picnic (with lunchboxes) on a picturesque place in the temple area.


In the late afternoon, return to Siem Reap.
