Preah Khan, Neak Pean and Ta Som Temple Tour

Pick up from your hotel lobby and transfer to Preah Khan Temple, where spectacular trees and roots have taken over the ancient man-made structures, giving Ta Prohm a run for its money any day. Explore the delicate carvings, and do not miss Angkor's only two-storey construction. Standing on high columns, it is a unique phenomenon in Khmer architecture. Your knowledgeable guide will help you navigate the temple grounds before continuing.
Neak Pean offers a different view and was constructed in roughly the same period as Preah Khan. Located in the centre of the Northern Baray, this temple is essentially an island and is most impressive in the wet season. The long raised wooden causeway leading to the temple is surrounded by water, and submerged tree trunks lend the scene a ghostly appearance.
After that, visit Ta Som Temple, a small temple in Angkor, Cambodia, built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean. The king dedicated the temple to his father, Dharanindravarman II, who was King of the Khmer Empire from 1150 to 1160.
Return to your hotel, where your tour concludes.
