Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Preah Vihear Temple, Cambodia

An ancient Hindu temple built during the period of the Khmer Empire, Preah Vihear Temple is situated atop a 525-meter (1,722 ft) cliff in the Dangrek Mountains. This area has been the focus of a lengthy dispute between Cambodia and Thailand over ownership, which has sparked small scale military conflicts before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled that the temple belongs to Cambodia. Preah Vihear is unusual among Khmer temples in being constructed along a long north-south axis, rather than having the conventional rectangular plan with orientation toward the east. It is declared as Cambodia's second UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, after the Angkor Archaeological Complex in Siem Reap.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Koh Ker Temple, 100 Km North of Siem Reap Cambodia

Koh Ker is a very special temple, with the shape of a 7-tiered pyramid that is unique among the Angkor Wat ruins. Koh Ker was briefly the capital of the whole Khmer empire (928–944 AD). It is located in a jungle filled region that is sparsely populated, where more than 180 sanctuaries were found. Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest.
