PHNOM PENH CITY HIGHLIGHTS

Breakfast at your hotel. This morning private tours to visit Tuol Sleng – S21 detention center and Cheung Ek Killing Field. The Phnom Penh’s most famous draws are the Khmer Rouge sites – the Tuol Sleng (S-21) prison and Choeung Ek killing fields. These are an uncomfortable reminder of the trauma that Cambodia has been through in our lifetimes, and they are not easy sites to visit, and some visitors choose to avoid these illustrations of the Khmer Rouge’s “government” of Cambodia. Lunch on own account. Afternoon, board the A/C vehicle with your local English speaking guide to visit Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and Cambodia National Museum. Royal Palace was built in 1866 by the French. Among various buildings within the walls the Throne Hall ranks as most important. This Khmer-style building was erected only in 1917. It is used only on special occasions. Attached to the Throne Hall is a tower, 59 meters high. Silver Pagoda (or the temple of the Emerald Buddha), formerly a wooden building, was rebuilt in 1962 in concrete and marble. The pagoda is floored with over 5000 silver tiles each weighing 1 kilo. It is famous for its 90 kg solid gold Buddha made in 1907 and an emerald Buddha said to be made of baccarant crystal. Note: During the visit of Royal Palace – visitors should wear shirts or blouse covering shoulders and arms and long skirts and trousers covering legs (no miniskirt or short trousers). Visit of Royal Palace is subject to be reconfirmed if the King is in residence or during traditional events. Continue with the National Museum of Arts is to the North of the palace grounds, on the opposite side of 184th street. The building was designed in Khmer-style in 1920 by a French architect. The most important artifacts are sculptures from the Angkor era and before. Late afternoon, board on the cruise to watch sunset with 1 drink included (soft or juice or local beer) only on the mighty Mekong river. Followed by dinner on board of the cruise.

After a proper lunch, drive north to visit the oldest archaeological site Sambo Prei Kuk, the Cambodia’s most impressive group of pre-Angkorian monuments comprising of more than a hundred temples built mostly in brick, originally called Isanapura, it served as the capital of Upper Chenla during the reign of the late 6thcentury King Isanavarman and continued to serve as an important learning center during the Angkorian era. After the visit, continue along the national road No. 6 to visit Beng Mealea temple where. Arrival at the early 12th century of Beng Mealea temple ruin, which was the prototype temple of Angkor Wat temple. This single temple is impressive and massive but almost completely ruined and overgrown by the plantation. This terrible collapsing would be because of the building condition as Beng Mealea was just the testing and the proper one is Angkor Wat itself built afterward. At the time we visited, there should be almost no one here as most of the other tourists have already gone back to Siem Reap before dark. Set your stay in a village next to the temple, Homestay is the best option that you could enjoy your life as the villagers of Cambodian people.

Then we drive up north for some kilometers to the northwest angle of Kulen Mountain and drive up the plateau to see one of the recently archaeologists’ research result sites. Kulen Mountain located 60 km from Siem Reap which has become safe starting from 1999 after the Khmer Rouge had mobilized all the forces with the government. It is considered a holly place for local people as we believe in Lingas, spirit and stones. BBQ Picnic lunch on site – BY THE RIVER IN A PRIVATE HUT.

Bower Family, Australia

What a wonderful experience we had with Asia Natural Tour. From meeting us at Siem Reap airport, Asia Natural Tours looked after us every step of the way. It was fantastic to have our personal tour guide, Nonin Men each day taking my family and I to see the sites including Angkor Wat and Kulen mountain forest temples. They knew all the best spots to get the great photos at each site. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and his team. My wife, daughters and I had a wonderful experience and we will be coming back again to tour with Asia Natural Tours. Thanks so much! Read more
