- Srah Srang - Srah Srang was excavated in the mid-10th century under the direction of Kavindrarimathana, a Buddhist minister serving King Rajendravarman II.

Srah Srang - Srah Srang was excavated in the mid-10th century under the direction of Kavindrarimathana, a Buddhist minister serving King Rajendravarman II. It underwent modifications around 1200 by Jajavarman VII, who added a laterite landing stage on its western side, likely due to the East Baray being overwhelmed by sediment and becoming dysfunctional. Srah Srang measures 700 by 350 meters, with a small temple situated in its center. The landing stage, located opposite the entrance to Banteay Kdei, is a favored spot for watching the sunrise. It features a cruciform design, flanked by Naga balustrades ending with the upright head of a serpent, topped by a Garuda with outstretched wings. Two guardian lions stand beside the steps leading down to the water.

Angkor Thom - Hidden Gem: The guide will take visitors to a place that remains largely undiscovered by tourists. Travel is the only purchase that enriches you.
-
Prasat Preah Khan - Preah Khan (Royal Sword) is a temple in the Angkor region, constructed in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII to honor his father. The temple features a flat design with a basic layout of successive rectangular galleries surrounding a Buddhist sanctuary, complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions. Similar to the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left mostly unrestored, with many trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins.
-
Neak Pean - Neak Pean (or Neak Poan), known as the entwined serpents, was built on an artificial island in the middle of a reservoir (3.5 km by 1 km) associated with the Preah Khan temple. Neak Pean was constructed by King Jayavarman VII in the latter half of the 12th century.
-
Ta Som - Ta Som is a small temple at Angkor, built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean. The King dedicated the temple to his father Dharanindravarman II (Paramanishkalapada), who was King of the Khmer Empire from 1150 to 1160. The temple consists of a single shrine on one level, surrounded by enclosure laterite walls. Like the nearby Preah Khan and Ta Prohm, the temple was left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. In 1998, the World Monuments Fund (WMF) included the temple in their restoration program and began work to stabilize the structure for visitor safety.

Angkor Thom - Secret stop: A majestic location that sets the tone for the day’s adventure. Don’t just listen to what others say, go and see for yourself. All journeys have secret destinations unknown to travelers.
-
Pre Rup - Pre Rup temple was constructed by King Rajendravarman in the 10th century. It is a temple mountain made of combined brick, laterite, and sandstone. The temple’s name, “turn the body,” is relatively modern and reflects the Cambodian belief that funerals were held at the temple, with the ashes of the deceased being ritually rotated in different directions during the service.
-
East Mebon - The East Mebon temple was built in the 10th century by King Rajendravarman. It was situated on what was once an artificial island at the center of the now-dry East Baray reservoir (7.5 km by 1.8 km). The East Mebon was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the king’s parents. Its location demonstrates Khmer architects’ focus on orientation and cardinal directions. Visitors today can imagine the vast expanses of water that once surrounded the temple. Four landing stages at the base serve as a reminder that the temple was once accessible by boat.
