Tour du lever du soleil d'Angkor Wat
Description
Visitez le lever du soleil à l'extérieur d'Angkor Wat avec l'entrée du grand temple dans l'obscurité du côté ouest et imprégnez-vous de l'atmosphère de l'aube à Angkor, au bord de l'une des anciennes piscines de la bibliothèque. Passez votre journée à visiter les temples avec votre guide local pour profiter au maximum de votre visite dans le célèbre complexe d'Angkor, construit entre le IXe et le XIIIe siècle, lorsque l'empire khmer était l'influence prédominante de l'Asie du Sud-Est.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous commençons par un départ avant l'aube (de 4h30 à 4h45, en fonction de la période de l'année) de votre hôtel pour le lever du soleil à l'extérieur d'Angkor Vat. Entrez dans le grand temple dans l'obscurité depuis l'est peu visité, et empruntez des corridors effrayants et bouclés au-delà de la plus longue étendue de sculptures en bas-relief du monde.
La porte sud d'Angkor Thom est la mieux conservée. Il est abordé de l’extérieur par un pont-jetée d’une cinquantaine de mètres de largeur. De chaque côté du pont-jetée se trouvent des balustrades formées de 54 personnages en pierre participant au spectacle d'une célèbre histoire hindoue: le mythe du barattage de l'océan. Sur le côté gauche du fossé, 54 «devas» (dieux gardiens) tirent la tête du serpent «Shesha», tandis que du côté droit 54 «asuras» (dieux démons) tirent la queue du serpent dans la direction opposée. Dans ce mythe, le corps du serpent est enroulé autour de la montagne centrale, le mont. Meru — correspondant peut-être ici au temple Bayon au centre du site. Dans tous les cas, le mythe raconte que lorsque les Devas ont tiré le serpent dans une direction et que les dieux ont poussé dans l’autre, l’océan a commencé à se brouiller et à précipiter les éléments. En alternant, l'océan se "trais", formant à nouveau la Terre et le cosmos.
Angkor Thom est le site majestueux ayant autrefois servi de capitale scintillante de l'empire khmer. Prenez un moment pour réfléchir à sa grandeur avant de vous aventurer dans la ville. En arrivant au temple de Bayon, appréciez ses tours centrales magnifiquement conçues, couvertes de plus de 200 visages énormes.
La terrasse des éléphants, longue de 350 m, servait de tribune géante pour les cérémonies publiques et servait de base à la grande salle du roi. Il comporte cinq sorties qui s'étendent vers la place centrale: trois au centre et une à chaque extrémité. La partie centrale du mur de soutènement est décorée de garuda et de lions de taille réelle; à chaque extrémité se trouvent les deux parties du célèbre défilé d'éléphants avec leurs mahouts Khmers.
L'un des temples les plus atmosphériques d'Angkor. Ta Prohm, qui abritait autrefois 2 740 moines, a aujourd’hui une apparence semblable à celle du début des années 1850, lorsque l’explorateur français Henri Mouhot a redécouvert ce site en ruine. Après avoir exploré l'intérieur du labyrinthe de Ta Prohm, retournez à votre hôtel après une journée longue mais enrichissante, qui vous laissera toute une vie de souvenirs de l'une des merveilles du monde.

We had a fantastic Angkor Wat tour from start to finish. The pickup was on time, the itinerary was well planned, and we got to see the best highlights without feeling rushed. Our guide SO was knowledgeable about the history and answered all our questions with amazing photos throughout. Sunrise at Angkor Wat was unforgettable, and the rest of the temples Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom, Bayon Temple were equally stunning. Our driver SAMBATH made us feel comfortable in the scorching heat at all times. Excellent service, highly recommend Journey Cambodia! Best tour we booked in Siem Reap!
