Day 2 - SIEM REAP TOUR - DEPARTURE (B)

Breakfast at the hotel. We continue to visit the fabulous Ta Prohm, one of the area's most beautiful temples . Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool ( representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake), Ta Som, built in the late 12th century C.E. the most distant temple on the grand circuit, small but classic. Preah Khan temple, Built by the King Jayavarman VII. Preah Khan is, like Ta Prohm, a place of towered enclosures and shoulder hugging corridors. Unlike Ta Prohm, however, the temple of Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and even improve this situation. Lunch not included.
