Individual excursion to Angkor with a professional guide.

The tour route includes the complexes of the Great Circle of Angkor and the “temple-pearl” of a rare pink sandstone Bantey Srey.

I recommend it as an addition to the first acquaintance with Angkor. The most important thing in one day.

Temples of the reign of Jayavarman the Seventh (second floor of the 12th century-early 13th century)

Preah Khan (Sacred Sword) Dedicated to the King's father. According to epigraphic data, the temple was erected on the site of the battle, in which the king won a great victory over the long-term enemies of the Chams. The area of the complex is 56 hectares. The temple has not yet been completely cleared of the jungle, which adds to its special charm. Ta Som, a little Bayon temple. It has hardly been restored. The photo of a huge tree destroying the Gate has become a classic for visitors to Angkor. Neak Pean ("curled snakes") A place of pilgrimage for the sick who seek healing. The temple will help to imagine the beauty and grandeur of the past. To the temple leads a picturesque road on the bridge through an artificial ancient reservoir.

Temples of the reign of Rajendravarman II (10th century)

East Mebon. Dedicated to the king's ancestors. The temple is located on an artificial island with a diameter of 250 m in the center of the now dried up, and early most large-scale Khmer reservoir "East Barai". The mebon in stone symbolizes the traditional idea of depicting the universe surrounded by the ocean. Pre Rupe. A square three-story pyramid. The upper terrace is topped with five towers. The advantage of the structure in addition to compositional innovations is the color harmony, combining red-brown laterite of the main floors with light blue sandstone of the upper towers. Bantej Srei ("The Women's Citadel"). The magnificent temple ensemble was built by the royal counselor on land donated by the king (40 km on the way). The building is made with a surprisingly subtle artistic taste. If early sculptures were monumentally frozen, and faces are severely immobile, then for the first time the sculptural images of Bantey Srey are characterized by soft lines and forms, lyricism of facial expressions and postures. Especially amazing are the images of female tevod made of pink sandstone, skillfully cut into niches on the walls of pale pink sandstone. The soft material allows creators to use "sandalwood carving technique." The program can be supplemented by a visit to the Bantei Samre temple (without surcharge) or the temples of the Rolus group (with a surcharge). Often this issue is solved on the spot according to your desires and forces, time.
