TEMPLES OF ANGKOR – THREE DAY EXPLORATION

The life-support system for the one and only temples of Angkor, Siem Reap was always destined for great things. Back in the 1960s, Siem Reap (see-em ree-ep) was the place to be in Southeast Asia and saw a steady stream of the rich and famous. After three decades of slumber, it’s well and truly back and one of the most popular destinations on the planet right now. It has reinvented itself as the epicenter of the new Cambodia, with more guesthouses and hotels than temples, and sumptuous spas and world-class wining and dining.

At heart, though, Siem Reap – whose name rather undiplomatically means ‘Siamese Defeated’- is still a little charmer, with old French shophouses, shady tree-lined boulevards and a slow-flowing river.

The temple complex at Angkor is simply enormous and the superlatives don’t do it justice. This is the site of the world’s largest religious building, a multitude of temples and a vast, long-abandoned walled city that was arguably southeast Asia’s first metropolis, long before Bangkok and Singapore got in on the action.

Starting at the Rolous group of temples, one of the earliest capitals of Angkor, move on to the big circuit, which INCLUDES THE Buddhist-Hindu fusion temple of Pheah Khan and the ornate water temple of Neak Poan.

On the second day downsize to the small circuit, starting with an atmospheric Banteay Kdei and the immense royal bathing pond of Sra Srang.

Next venture further afield to Banteay Srei temple, the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art, and Beng Mealea, a remote jungle temple.

Saving the biggest and best until last, experience sunrise at Ankgor Wat and stick around breakfast in the temple to discover its amazing architecture without the crowds. In the afternoon, explore Angkor Thom an immense comlex that is home to the enigmatic Bayon.

Three day around Angkor? That’s just for starter swords and princesses the latter adorned with beautiful rows of pearls. At the base on the southern side, there is narrow access to a hidden terrace that was covered up when the outer structure was built. The figures, including nagas (mythical serpent-beings), look as fresh as if they had been carved yesterday.
