• Bayon Temple - Tour begins at 9:00 AM with a visit to Bayon Temple. Situated at the heart of Angkor Thom, the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire, Bayon was constructed by King Jayavarman VII and is dedicated to Lord Lokesvara, a savior deity in Mahayana Buddhism.

The Bayon Temple is renowned for its 49 towers, each featuring four smiling faces. This unique feature has earned it the nickname “Most Beautiful Smiling Faces Temple” worldwide. The faces smile in the four cardinal directions: East for Shiva, South for Brahma, West for Vishnu, and North for Indra. In Buddhist terms, these faces symbolize Lokesvara and King Jayavarman VII, as well as the four key precepts of the Buddha: Lovingkindness, Compassion, Joy, and Sincerity.

Some scholars propose that Bayon acts as a massive stone map of Cambodia, representing the 54 provinces of that era. The temple comprises 49 towers, with an additional five towers located in Angkor Thom.

• Banteay Srei - Known as the most exquisite pink sandstone temple, Banteay Srei is located about 37 kilometers away. “Banteay Srei” translates to “Lady Temple,” and its charm lies in its excellent preservation, small size, and intricate decorations. It is often regarded as a true gem of Khmer art.

Celebrated for its detailed carvings, some locals believe it was built by women, which is reflected in its name, “Lady Temple.” Originally named Isvarapura, it was built by King Rajendravarman II in 967 and dedicated to Lord Shiva. Visitors are often enchanted by its stunning artistry and the peaceful ambiance that envelops this remarkable site. It stands as a testament to the skill and creativity of the Khmer artisans, making it a must-see for anyone exploring Cambodia’s wonders.

• Ta Prohm Temple - Ta Prohm is Cambodia’s most famous jungle temple, gaining fame from its appearance in the Hollywood film “Tomb Raider.” Constructed by King Jayavarman VII in 1186, the temple is dedicated to his mother, depicted as Prachnabaramita, the goddess of mercy and wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. “Ta Prohm” means “Brahma God,” while its original name, “Rajavihara,” translates to “The Royal Monastery.”

Located northeast of Angkor Wat, it is a breathtaking site where nature and architecture merge. Towering trees and sprawling roots envelop the temple ruins, creating a dramatic and captivating landscape. This unique blend of human and natural beauty makes Ta Prohm a favorite among tourists.

To fully enjoy the temple’s tranquil atmosphere and avoid crowds, it is best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Besides its architectural significance, Ta Prohm also served as an important royal school.

• Angkor Wat - Angkor Wat is the largest and best-preserved religious monument in the world, an architectural masterpiece of the Khmer Empire. Its perfect composition, balance, proportions, relief, and sculpture make it one of the world’s finest monuments.

Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term “relief” comes from the Latin “relevo,” meaning “to raise.” Creating a relief sculpture gives the impression that the sculpted material is raised above the background plane. When a relief is carved into a flat stone surface (relief sculpture) or wood (relief carving), the field is lowered, leaving the unsculpted areas appearing higher. This method requires extensive chiseling of the background, which can be time-consuming. However, a relief eliminates the need to form the rear of a subject, making it less fragile and more securely fixed.
