Itinerary
DAY 1: Phnom Penh - Sambor
Prei Kuk - Kompong Thom
We depart Phnom Penh for the
regional capital of Kompong Thom, perhaps pausing in the town of
Skuon to sample the local spiders. After lunch in Kompong Thom,
we travel north to visit the pre-Angkorian capital of Sambor
Prei Kuk, known as Isanapura at the height of its power in the
7th century. This offers a chronological insight into the
development of temple architecture in ancient Cambodia and is a
magical place, forgotten in the forests. We spend the night in a
local hotel in Kompong Thom.
DAY 2: Kompong Thom - Preah
Khan
We continue west to the small town
of Stung where we leave the main road to begin our adventure to
Preah Khan. The vast temple complex lies about 80km north of
here and passes through some wild country in one of the most
remote parts of Cambodia. We reach the village of Ta Seng at
lunchtime where we have lunch and arrange some extra provisions
for the night. We spend the afternoon exploring the most
important temples at Preah Kahn, including the Bayon-style four
faces of Prasat Preah Stung and the central temple which was one
of the biggest enclosures built during the Angkor period. It is
thought this may have been a very important provincial city
during the Khmer Empire. We camp overnight within the temple
area and can explore by torchlight.
DAY
3: Preah Khan - Prasat Damrei - Siem Reap
We visit one or two of the smaller
temples in the Preah Khan area, including Prasat Damrei or
elephant temple, with its elegant carved elephants. Only two
remain, as others are now housed in the Musee Guimet in Paris
and the National Museum in Phnom Penh. We then return to
civilization and the road to Siem Reap, stopping to visit the
impressive Angkor-era bridge in Kompong Kdei known as Spean
Praptos. We arrive in Siem Reap later in the afternoon.
