Angkor Wat was built between 1112 and 1152 by King Suryavarman II.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nAngkor Wat with its five towers, perfect symmetry and exquisite bas-reliefs is one of the most inspired religious monuments ever built. The five towers that dominate the scene are said to represent the five peaks of Mount Meru, the mythical home of the omnipotent Hindu deity Shiva. Beautiful bas beliefs and carvings adorn the inner sanctuaries depicting various Hindu mythological epics, including the longest continuous bas relief in the world, which runs along the outer gallery walls.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nAfternoon<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>: We continue to visit the fortified Royal city of Angkor Thom<\/b>, constructed by King Jayavarman II at the end of the 12th century, not long after the completion of Angkor Wat.

The Bayon in particular is a fascinating piece of architecture and one of the most photographed.

After lunch you will return to Saigon arriving mid-afternoon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nDay 12: Saigon - Fly to Siem Reap<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/5(3).png\" \/><\/p>\n\nOur guide and driver will meet you in the hotel lobby for your onward transfer to the airport. Take a flight to Siem Reap.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nUpon arrival in Siem Reap you will be met and transferred to your hotel. This afternoon, you will visit Prasat Kravan Temple.&nbsp; Built in the first half of the tenth century (921) and completed during the reign of Harshavarman 1, this Hindu based temple has sculptures on the interior of two of the five towers depicting Vishnu and his consort, Lakshmi; the scene in the central tower is the most impressive one!&nbsp; The carvings in this temple are more commonly found in Cham Temples and are rare in Khmer architecture.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nIn addition, you will see the East Mebon Temple.&nbsp; The sculpture work at the East Mebon is exceptional and it&rsquo;s thought the temple was moated and reached by boat. It includes two-meter-high free-standing stone elephants at corners of the first and second tiers.&nbsp; And lastly, Pre Rup Temple, built in the second half of the tenth century by the King Rajendravarman and dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva around 962.&nbsp; The temple&rsquo;s name is a comparatively modern one meaning &quot;turn the body&quot;. 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.&nbsp; Most of these temples pre-date, or were built around the same time as the famous Angkor Wat complex you will experience tomorrow.&nbsp; Return to your hotel by late afternoon.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nYour guide and driver will pick you up early evening to enjoy dinner and a traditional Khmer &lsquo;Apsara&rsquo; show this evening. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nDay 13: Sunrise at the Temples of Angkor Wat &amp; Ta Prohm Temple<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/Insight Angkor12.png\" \/><\/p>\n\nThe temples of Angkor represent 600 years (802-1432) of Khmer civilization - one of Asia&#39;s greatest Kingdoms. We dedicate the whole day to exploring the most magnificent of the Angkor temples. We begin with a pre-dawn departure (4.30 to 5.00 am depending on the time of year) by Tuk Tuk from your hotel for sunrise at Angkor Wat. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nEnter the temple grounds in darkness (please bring a flashlight) from the little-visited eastern side. .Soak up the atmosphere of dawn at Angkor, from the edge of one of the ancient library pools. We then explore the interior of the great temple, spending a thorough two hours discovering the corridors, central chambers and upper terraces of this truly great temple. Your expert local guide will decipher the myriad of stories behind the longest stretch of bas-relief <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\ncarvings in the world, and give you an insight into life during the height of the Khmer empire. We end our touring at Angkor with breakfast outside the temple (take away, from your hotel), and a short rest. Continue the morning by driving through Angkor Thom city and visit the temple of Bayon before moving on to Preah Khan temple, a ruined but highly atmospheric m&eacute;lange of tree roots and crumbling stone structures. Construction of this site was commissioned by the great &lsquo;temple builder&rsquo; Jayavaraman VII (in honor of his father) and a visit to this smaller site makes for an interesting contrast with the more imposing Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently being restored by the World Monument Fund and in places is in remarkably good condition. At the end of the morning return to your hotel for lunch and a swim, and in the afternoon visit Banteay Kdei temple, a setting for the movie &lsquo;Lord Jim&rsquo; and currently under restoration by a Japanese university. We end the afternoon with a visit to jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm, one of <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nthe most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor and sister site of Preah Khan. Once home to 2,740 monks, Ta Prohm today looks much as it did in the early 1850s, when French explorer Henri Mouhot &lsquo;rediscovered&rsquo; this crumbling site. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nAt the end of the day, we catch a final sunset glimpse of Angkor Wat, then return to our hotel. Today is a long but fulfilling day which will leave you with lifetime memories of some of the most impressive monuments built by mankind. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nDay 14: Boeng Mealea and Banteay Srei Full Day Temple Touring<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/1(1).png\" \/><\/p>\n\nToday we visit three of the most interesting temples outside Angkor Thom city. Departing your hotel at 8.00 am, you begin with a drive for two hours hour through scenic rural Cambodia to Boeng Mealea temple. En route we stop at Dom Deak town for a wander through a typical Cambodian village market. Mid-morning we arrive at King Suryavarman II&rsquo;s eleventh century Boeng Mealea temple &ndash; a prototype for the more famous Angkor Wat. Boeng Mealea stands almost forgotten in jungle and getting to the site is quite an adventure in itself. Isolated during <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nCambodia&#39;s civil war, Boeng Mealea was under the control of the Khmer Rouge for decades but has since been &lsquo;de mined&rsquo; and travelers can now safely visit this temple.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex and in places it is remarkably intact, but in other places utterly destroyed; tree roots envelop many of the temple walls and doorways. The atmosphere here is eerie, but a welcome contrast to the more visited temples closer to Angkor <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nWat. Boeng Mealea shares many characteristics with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale. It has three encircling galleries, the same four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. It differs from Angkor Wat in having only one central tower instead of the famous five towers of Angkor Wat.&nbsp; Close out the morning with a picnic lunch before heading to the intricately carved and well-preserved Temple &lsquo;Banteay Srei&rsquo;. The detailed reliefs on this smaller sandstone structure are regarded as the finest, most skillfully crafted in Cambodia. Banteay Srei has only been accessible since the late 1990s, when the Khmer Rouge left the area. We end our day with a brief stop at well preserved Banteay Samre, a laterite structure which once featured internal moats. Late afternoon return to town after a memorable days exploration and bid farewell to your guide today.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\nDay 15: Siem Reap Departure <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nOur guide and driver will meet you in the hotel lobby for your onward transfer to the airport in <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\nplenty of time for your individual flight home. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/22%282%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/thumb_files\/22%282%29.png","tags":["Hanoi","Ha Long Bay","Hue","Hoi An","Saigon","Mekong Delta","Siem Reap","Angkor"],"count_view":1086,"seo_name":"truly-vietnam-cambodia","date_update":1762271914,"date_created_format":"","meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","sku":"","code":"","rate":0,"image_2_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/8.png","image_2_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/8.png","image_list":[{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/22%282%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/22%282%29.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/8.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/8.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/12%282%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/12%282%29.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/3.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/3.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/12%281%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/12%281%29.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/29%281%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/29%281%29.png"},{"image_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/files\/6%282%29.png","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.insightviettravel.com\/datafiles\/42878\/upload\/\/thumb_files\/6%282%29.png"}],"product_articles":[{"id":45462,"name":"Insight Indochina","desc":"UNIQUE TOUR","content":"Trip Overview:<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Vietnam is a nation of captivating diversity.
