Itinerary Description of (Ang-Intro-3D):
In the morning, we start with going to Angkor Thom city, founded in 12th century by king Jayavarman VII and remained the capital until 17th century. At this city, you will visit the most well-preserved gate amongst all the fives, then continue to the peaceful smiling faced tower temple of Bayon, Terrace of Elephant, The Leper king terrace, the ancient royal palace, Phimeanakas, a group of small laterite temples so-called Prasat Suor Prat and the lonely temple of Preah Palelay. After a break for lunch, drive into the real jungle to whisper in the quiet temple of Ta nei. Then it will be time for you to stroll around the tourist-wish-to-see jungle temple, namely Ta Prhom, overgrown by huge tree monsters with snake-like-roots, which is featured in Tomb Raider movie. Before getting back to the town, we will come across a 10th century Kravan temple built of brick decorated with scene about life of god of protection Vishnu.
In the morning, we head to the active pilgrimage site of Angkor Wat, the biggest Hindu temple in the world to enjoy with the longest lively carving of more than 2000 meters long by 2 meters high, excluding relief on ceiling and hundreds of roof supporting pillars. After a short trekking through trees in Angkorwat complex, we will visit the 10th century Prerup temple, once believed to be the king crematorium site, and the East Mebon temple built on the island in the middle of early 10th century reservoir, adorned with elephant statues which some of them remain in great condition. After lunch, we are getting into the amazing pink sand stone temple of Banteaysrei that has the most well- preserved carving and also the only shrine decorated with the deepest bas-relief amongst all temples in Cambodia. On the way back, we will enjoy with the unique landscape of country side along the way until we get to the peaceful ruin of Preah Indrakorsa temple where we will wander around the Hindu and Buddhist temple with an opportunity to have an interesting chat with some primary school children.
In the morning, let us take you back to the Angkorian days to get to know about how people make their living by taking a private boat to cruise around floating villages on the biggest lake in South East Asia, so-called Tonle Sap Lake. As long as the time and weather permit, we may stop over at a villager's house to see their additional businesses such as fish farm and crocodile farm. In the same time, it's also a pleasure to have a chat with them about their daily living and about your first impression of the lake too. After a break, We would like to introduce you the super vehicle which has been used in our country since the Pre-historic time, so-called holy oxen cart, by which we will explore around the peaceful country side to see rice paddy, vegetable farm, domesticated animals, and especially to get the smell of fresh air. While remain sitting on the open Lexus, we' ll have a chance to see additional jobs of local people besides farming that some of them are skillful in making baskets, bags, pots, boxes, dish pads and mats out of rattan. This craft art has been transferred down from generations to others. It is also a pleasure to learn a little thing from them. Moreover, there will be an opportunity to experience the real Cambodian culture as to have a talk with some monks about their daily living and get holy sprinkle, given by the wise monk, for a believe to take-in the happiness and prosperity.
