Day 6: Siem Reap tour – Exploration (B/-/D)
In the morning, we’ll travel through the traditional village of Preah Dark to the 12th century temple ofBanteay Samre. Built by King Suryavarman II, the genius behind Angkor Wat, this temple has been extensively restored. The pediments above the inner doors here include some of the most accomplished carving from the Angkor period. We continue further north to Banteay Srei, Angkor’s ultimate art gallery. This petite pink temple is the jewel in the crown of Angkor-era sculpture. The elaborate carvings here are the finest found in Cambodia. The name translates as “Fortress of the Women”, as it was thought that the intricate detail was too fine for the hands of a man. Inscriptions at the site suggest it was built in 967. However, some architectural historians have suggested that the inscriptions may date from an earlier structure on this site and the temple is in fact later, making it a high-water mark in the history of Khmer sculpture. This afternoon you will visit the unique Prasat Kravan, Srah Srang (“The Royal Baths”),Banteay Kdei (surrounded by 4 concentric walls) and Ta Prohm, one of the area’s most beautiful temples. Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it’s discovery and retains much of its mystery.Preah Khan Temple is home to Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool, representing a paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake. Like Ta Prohm, it is a place of towering enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors. From here we’ll move to Pre Rup Temple, built by Rajendravarman II in late 10th century.
