Location:

Siem Reap

Angkor Temple tour/Ton le Sap Lake

This morning, you will visit Ta Prohm, the temple that has been left largely in its natural state since its 're-discovery' by French explorers. Surrounded by jungle, its labyrinth of stone hallways is overgrown with the roots and limbs of massive banyan trees, which envelop the stone like tentacles. It is one of the largest temples at Angkor, dedicated in 1186. Historians have noted its mystical charm.

You will continue to Preah Khan ''The Sacred Sword'', an extensive monastic complex covering over 56 hectares built by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a monastery and teaching complex. It is one of a group of temple complexes situated on a small 'Baray' or water reservoir including the temples of Neak Pean and the monastic complex of Ta Som. Together these structures constitute one of Angkor's major axial arrangements and hydrological complexes.

Preah Khan was the site of the World Monuments Fund 'prime' Asian project a painstaking renovation whilst maintaining it's mysterious allure and superb original structure.

Lunch at local restaurant and this afternoon you go to Ton Le Sap Lake, the largest fresh water lake in South East Asia, is the lifeblood of the Cambodian fishing industry.

The Mekong River, from as a far away as Phnom Penh, reverses the direction of the Ton Le Sap river to bring an overflow of water and silt to support both rice growing and the breeding fish of many sizes and varieties. Hopping on board a small shaded vessel and moving between the floating homes and small fish farms you will experience close up, daily lake life.

** Please note: Full Day Angkor Temples Tour can include temples of choice or those recommended by your guide.
