Itinerary
Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
The Bayon was the state temple of King Jayavarman VII, built at the end of the 12th century. It is a mountain temple built to represent Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. The Bayon’s most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers that jut from the upper terrace and cluster around its center peak The similarity of the 216 gigantic faces to other statues of Jayavarman VII has led many scholars to the hypothesise that the faces are representations of the king himself. Others believe that the faces belong to Avalokitesvara, the bodhisattva of compassion while yet another commentary suggested that the temple was originally built for the Hindu God Brahma. The temple is also popular for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present an unusual combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. This is one of the many ‘must visit’ temples.
Baphuon is a beautiful 11th century “temple-mountain” with steep stairs leading visitors to a terrace which offers one of the best views in the Angkor Archaeological Park. Archaeologists believe that this pyramid-style temple, located within the city of Angkor Thom, was probably among the most impressive of the Angkor temples in its day. Unfortunately, the ravages of time and Mother Nature caused significant damage to this magnificent temple, and it was very nearly lost to history. The tale of how it was restored is just as impressive as the structure itself.
Known today as Ta Prohm or “Old Brahma”, this monument was initially named “Rajavihara” meaning “royal monastery”. In 1186 AD, Jayavarman VII consecrated several statues here, the most important of which was that of Prajnaparamita, the personification of the Perfection of Wisdom, a figure whom the King identified with his mother.
In stark contrast to the often overwhelmingly crowded and popular Angkorian ruins, Banteay Kdei is peaceful and quiet. Its name means “Citadel of Chambers”, which is apt; the ruins are a fascinating maze of chambers that are a delight to explore. Also serving as a Buddhist temple, these ruins have been home to an active monastery at multiple time periods since their construction in the 12th century, up until the 1960s. Today, the ruins are overgrown and seemingly forgotten by the bustling Angkor tourism industry. Its solitude and mystery make it a hidden gem for explorers of the region. Tall trees cast shade over Buddhist bas-reliefs, and many hours can be spent in its meandering design.

We had the best experience of our visit to Siem reap with tiger, we got to explore the temples at our own pace and did not feel rushed, would highly recommend over going with a tour company was really great value for money.
We did two tours with Tiger and they were both great tours. His driving was impeccable , a nice lexus car , very clean , good air conditioning. Tiger spoke excellent english. He had cold water for us, and cold wipes throughout the trips. Tiger did a great job of explaining about all of the sights , culture and history to us. He also had a wonderful sense of humor. I would definitely recommend him for any tour.

Tiger is great. Let’s list the ways: - Communication: he is very responsive to WhatsApp messages and shared a wealth of knowledge about Angkor Wat, the temples and Cambodia today. - Charm: friendly and gracious, Tiger ensured our experience at Angkor was magical. From giving us wet wipes and chilled waters after each temple stop, to being playful and laughing along at jokes. - Photographer: meticulous, Tiger took a number of photos of us at the sites, from many different angles. He got several money shots. - Good driving: the roads can be chaotic with scooters, Tuk Tuks and other vehicles jockeying for position. Tiger got us to our destinations with speed and efficiency. Tip: you can use him and his comfortable air conditioned SUV for more than just Ankgor Wat. He also drove us to and from the airport for a separate, reasonable fee. Whether you want to hire a guide is up to you. For a comprehensive tour of many of the primary and secondary highlights of the temples in and near Angkor Wat, choose Tiger.
