- What You Can Expect -

Depart by bike for Angkor Thom, the ancient royal city of the Khmer Empire with its centre piece; the Bayon temple. Although it may look like a shapeless mass of stone, further scrutiny reveals towers with enigmatic faces of former King Jayavarman VII. Continue to the Terrace of the Elephants, which served as a platform from where the King could welcome back his victorious army and the Terrace of the Leper King, which holds perfect carvings winding along a narrow passage way that leads to the Baphuon complex. Continue to Ta Prohm, considered to be one of Angkor’s jewels with is overgrown fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere. The magnificent roots of the trees have merged itself over the centuries with the temple’s huge stone blocks, emphasizing a ‘forgotten city’ feeling. Lunch is served in a local restaurant on the way.

Leave the bikes and enjoy a transfer to Banteay Srei, which translates to “Citadel of the Women”. It is one of Angkor’s most significant structures as its walls are decorated with elaborate carvings which have been preserved remarkably well. Transfer back to Siem Reap.

- Attractions-

#Angkor Thom

Angkor Thom was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. In 1992, Angkor Thom was protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

#Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm was built in 1186 by King Jayavarman VII in order to commemorate his mother. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is 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.

#Banteay Srei

Often praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art". Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. It is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today.
