Overnight stay in Siem Reap
Excursion to Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei
Rise early to beat the crowd at the photogenic Ta Prohm, “Tomb Raider” fame.
Ta Prohm has been abandoned to the elements, a reminder that while empires rise and fall, the riotous power of nature marches on, oblivious to the dramas of human history. Left as it was ‘discovered’ by French explorer Henri Mouhout in 1860, the tentacle-like tree roots here are slowly strangling the surviving stones, man first conquers nature to create, nature later conquers back to destroy.
Visit Ta Prohm early to avoid the crowd and provide a unique visit to this incredible temple. Then head further through rural countryside to the small but beautiful temple of Banteay Srei. This temple is largely built of pink sandstone, a harder rock that can be more elaborately carved and better survives the rigours of time. This is an opportunity to capture some good photographs of the clear and detailed carvings.
Continue to Banteay Samre : Its rose-colored sandstone walls are decorated with carvings and bas-reliefs, which are among the most accomplished that Angkor has to offer.
In the late afternoon head back into main Angkor Park and journey to Tasom. Tasom offers some beautiful photo spots, especially the rear entrance where tree roots adorn the gateway. Finish by experiencing sunset over the rice fields from the royal crematorium of Pre Rup, a classic view of the Cambodian countryside.
