Angkor-templerne fra Sunrise af Tuk Tuk
Beskrivelse
Både skjult bag gardiner af grønt eller rækker ud mod himlen, passerer baldakinen af dets junglelandskab, afslører de beskyttede ruiner af Angkor noget majestætisk, uvidende for dem, der ikke har sat deres fod inden for dets parametre. Disse møder kan være dine at tage op, nyde og beundre fra forskellige vinkler, når du vælger at tage ud, før solen står op og se, hvor fantastisk en dag inde i Angkor begynder. Ved at tilføje noget autentisk transportsmag til rejsen lokker selv den mest erfarne rejsende at komme rundt med tuk tuk.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Din guide og tuk-tuk-kørsel byder dig velkommen tidligt om morgenen på dit reserverede hotel i Siem Reap og tag til hovedporten til Angkor-templerne og lad din tidlige morgen stoppe for at se solopgangen. Uden tvivl den største religiøse bygning i verden, med et volumen af sten, der svarer til Cheops-pyramiden i Egypten, er det i modsætning til alle de andre Khmer-templer, idet det vender mod vest. Dens symmetriske tårne er stiliseret på det moderne cambodjanske flag. Udtænkt af Suryavarman II, tog Angkor Wat anslået 30 år at bygge.
Du vender tilbage til dit hotel til morgenmad, og vi bevæger os tilbage til Angkor-templerne for at beundre nogle af de andre inspirerende tempelruiner, der definerer Angkor og gør det til et stolt medlem af UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Via Sydporten besøger vi Angkor Thom. Den store by Angkor Thom er et af de centrale punkter i hele Angkor-komplekset, som sandsynligvis var mere overdådigt end de fleste europæiske byer i slutningen af det 12. århundrede. Denne ti kvadratkilometer store by er omgivet af en otte meter høj mur og omkranset af en hundrede meter lang voldgrav, der siges at have været beboet af voldsomme krokodiller.
Vi fortsætter til Bayon og Preah Khan-templet før frokost. Bayon er et mesterværk fra det 12. århundrede, der ligger i centrum af Angkor Thom City og er et arkæologisk vidunder af symmetri og storhed. De udvendige gallerivægge har omfattende basrelieffer, men hovedtrækkene er tårnene, hver med 3 eller 4 blidt smilende ansigter, over 200 i alt.
Fortsæt til Preah Khan, "The Sacred Sword", et omfattende klosterkompleks, der dækker over 56 hektar bygget af Khmer-kongen Jayavarman VII som et kloster- og undervisningskompleks.
Dit trehjulede motoriserede køretøj tager os til Ta Nei-templet og Tao Keo-templet nær det østlige Baray. Begge er mindre kendte, men alligevel lige så interessante som alle de andre tempelruiner.
Endelig blev Ta Prohm bygget af Jayavarman VII som en helligdom for sin mor og er endnu et must-see. Mens man ryddede skoven tilbage, blev det besluttet at efterlade dem på plads for at tjene som en påmindelse om, hvordan de oprindelige opdagelser fandt den og andre templer. Din tuk tuk venter ved den østlige port og bringer dig tilbage i komfort tilbage til din overnatningsadresse, hvor du ankommer omkring kl.

Definitely worth being ready at 5:00 a.m. for this tour. The sunrise is spectacular. Make sure to stand on the left side of the main walkway (closest to the market selling souvenirs). This way you will see the sun come up between the towers of Angkor Wat. If you can, climb the stairs to the upper level. It’s on the backside of the temple. You will be rewarded with the chance to step into the inner portion of the building.
Hello Andrew! Thank you for this excellent advice! Getting up at 5am is definitely worth it for this spectacle. Your tip about the left side of the main walkway is precious, many visitors miss the best angle! And accessing the upper level is indeed that little extra that makes all the difference. Thanks for choosing Asian Trails!
Beautiful sights. Our guide, Nob, was exceptional. Very personable and was a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about not just the temples but also the history of the civilization and Hinduism and Buddhism.
Hello! Thank you! Nob will be delighted! He has that contagious passion for Khmer history. Angkor at sunrise with his explanations completely transforms the visit! Glad he enriched your discovery. Thanks for choosing Asian Trails! The Asian Trails Cambodia team
Loved the history and how knowledgeable the guide was. Wonderful experience. Very enjoyable day. Thank you
We were picked up on time and our guide was excellent. We saw a beautiful sunrise then had breakfast at a small cafe opposite Angkor Watt before entering into the historical area. Our guide was charming and very knowledgable. We came away from Angkor Watt better informed and much more appreciative of this wonder of the world
Dear Jean_B We really appreciate this great review of our version of seeing Angkor slightly differently. Your enthusiasm for taking this tour, and exceeding expectations even waking up before the sun has risen, is clearly seen. We of course will bring this message of appreciation over to our guide, the tuk tuk drivers and all concerned who have made it possible in giving you an extraordinary day out and about in Siem Reap. With kind regards Asian Trails Cambodia
We had a wonderful informative tour with our guide Maow. We learned a lot about the history of this fantastic temple or should I say city of temples and took some amazing photos from sunrise to the early afternoon. I would recommend this company to others looking for an informative English-speaking guide.
Being picked up at 5am can be a bit rough but definitely worth it when you see the amazing sun rise over the temple. Our tour guide took us to a perfect viewing location and we were very lucky to see the sunrise with very few tourists around us. This is the best way to experience the beautiful temples. Our guide was fantastic. He really knew a lot of history and could answer any question we had on Cambodia. We saw all the important features of the temples and learned about the history. There were 4 of us so we had 2 tuk tuk's and the guide switched from one tuk tuk to another so everyone can take advantage of his knowledge. As being a private tour we had the option of choosing where to spend more time and how. The guide was nice to take us a second time to Angkor Wat upon request so we can capture some more pictures of the temple in daylight. Because of this me and my group highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to experience the beautiful temples. You start at 5am with a pickup from your hotel in a Tuk Tuk (a motorcycle pulling a trailer with comfy seats and a roof). By 5:40 we were positioned outside the main temple, Angkor Wat, to watch the sun rise behind it. It was really beautiful. Our guide made sure we were standing in just the right spot for great pictures. We then went to a restaurant to borrow their tables to eat our hotel boxed breakfast (which unfortunately consisted of several forms of bread products and a small orange - recommend you ask your guide if you can buy a breakfast of local foods in the complex rather than eat the boxed breakfast). The other option is to return to your hotel for breakfast but then you lose much of the cooler morning temperatures for your tour. Our guide Shokeit (sp?) was fantastic. He really knows his history and can answer pretty much any question you might have regarding Cambodian history and politics. He showed us all the important features of each temple and explained the history behind each one very thoroughly. I can’t imagine wandering around the enormous complex on your own. You would miss so much and it would take 2 to 3 times as long. Our Tuk Tuk driver was great and always waiting for us with fresh cold bottled water and cold towels. I highly recommend this tour.
My girlfriend and I did the tuk tuk tour at sunrise and were so glad that we did. Tuk tuk’s seemed like the ideal way to cover a lot of ground quickly and effortlessly and we found ourselves appreciating the fact that we were not crammed into a bus or, god-forbid, roughing it on a bicycle and on foot in the heat and humidity. Our guide, Sochet (sp?),
I have to admit that I originally was considering touring the temples on our own - what a mistake that would have been. This private tour was so worth it and definitely a highlight of our trip! Kaden and the tuk tuk driver met us at our hotel early in the morning, drove us to the ticket office (the office takes a photo of you for the ticket) and then to Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise. I was a little skeptical of starting there after seeing how crowded the sunrise is, but it turned out to be the right call as I'm glad we checked off this temple first. After sunrise we ate breakfast at the nearby stand (our hotel provided a packed one, but we purchased coffees) at which point I once again became concerned about us "wasting time." If only I would have slowed down and enjoyed the moment. My biggest concern was that we would not see enough of the complex (we unfortunately only had one full day to do so), but after Angkor Wat, we saw temple after temple. I was very satisfied with what we saw, although I could easily see how one could spend a week here. Despite how much I read about the size of the Angkor complex (in overall area), I still was not prepared for just how far each temple was from one another. In fact, I cannot see how one would do this without a tour. Our guide Kaden was excellent - informative, friendly, easy to understand and packed a lot into our day. Our driver was very friendly as well. I highly recommend this tour and am very thankful we got to see everything we did.
It takes at least 5 days to visit all the sites and their many temples. Be in good physical condition to climb, walk long and interact with guides and locals. Organizing your own trip leaves time to see everything , and walk in Tuk Tuk at least day. Site ravaged at the moment.
