This used to be the audient hall for the king.

Thommanon - Thommanon temple is the one of a pair of Hindu temples built during the reign of Suryavarman II at Angkor, Cambodia. The name of the temple is derived from the Pali words “Dhamma”, which means ‘Buddhist Teachings’ and “Nanda”, which means ‘supreme wisdom’.

Lady Temple & Thousands of Shivaliga

Kbal Spean - We go to visit Kbal Spean with the “River of Thousand Lingas” To get to the top of Kbal Spean and appreciate the intricately carved stone river bed you have to conquer a fairly steep incline, but fear not – the path is well worn and the biggest obstacles and boulders are overcome by series of well maintained wooden staircases, yet at least medium level of fitness is required for this 3km jungle walk. You will have a lunch break locally and rest during the hottest part of the day.

Banteay Srei - we you will visit a small temple of Banteay Srei well known for its beautiful delicate carvings in warm pink sandstone.

Beng Mealea & Rolous Group

Beng Mealea - We will go to visit Beng Mealea, more accessible with the addition of a wooden walkway throughout the structure assuring a safe access and slight elevation, thus a better view.

Prasat Phnom Krom - Phnom Krom, an Angkorian site, dominates the horizon and overlooks the busy lives of the fishing and farming communities here.

Wat Bo Temple - Wat Bo is one of the oldest Buddhist monastery in Siem Reap. The temple has few visitors but nonetheless is worth visiting for its beautiful wall.
