- Bakong Temples - Explore the remarkable 9th-century Bakong temple, a significant Roluos temple. Bakong is the first sandstone temple mountain built by the Khmer empire’s rulers at Angkor, near present-day Siem Reap in Cambodia. In the late 9th century AD, it served as the state temple for King Indravarman I in the ancient city of Hariharalaya, now known as Roluos. Bakong is situated at the heart of the former Khmer Empire’s capital city during the 9th century.
- Wat Khsach - Discover the impressive 9th-century Bakong temple, a key Roluos temple. Bakong is the first sandstone temple mountain constructed by the Khmer empire’s rulers at Angkor, near modern Siem Reap in Cambodia. In the final decades of the 9th century AD, it served as the official state temple of King Indravarman I in the ancient city of Hariharalaya, now called Roluos. Bakong is located in the center of the former Khmer Empire’s capital city in the 9th century.
- Beng Mealea - Visit the fascinating temple outside the Angkor area, the 11th-century Beng Mealea temple built by King Suryavarman II, which served as a prototype for the renowned Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple lies almost forgotten in the jungle, and reaching the site is an adventure in itself. It was isolated during Cambodia’s civil war. It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex, with some parts remarkably intact and others completely destroyed; tree roots envelop many of the temple’s walls and doorways. The atmosphere here is mysterious yet offers a refreshing contrast to the more frequented temples near Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many features with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale. It has three encircling galleries, the same four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. It differs from Angkor Wat by having only one central tower instead of the famous five towers.
- Ancient Quarry - Discover the site where the Khmer people cut stones to construct Angkor Wat. You will see hundreds of stone pieces that were cut and left there since the 12th century. The tour guide will explain how the stones were cut and how ancient people transported them to build Angkor Wat.
