Itinerary: Tour starts at 5.30 Am
Join us today for an unforgettable adventure as we pick up your group from your hotel bright and early at 5.30 AM to embark on a journey to explore two incredible temple complexes: Prasat Preah Vihear and Koh Ker.
Prasat Preah Vihear, originally built by the four great kings during the Khmer Empire, holds a fascinating history. After a lengthy dispute between Cambodia and Thailand over ownership, the International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that the temple belongs to Cambodia. This ruling only adds to the allure and intrigue of this ancient site.
What sets Prasat Preah Vihear apart from other Khmer temples is its breathtaking setting. Perched atop a hill, it offers panoramic views that stretch for kilometers across a vast plain. As a significant spiritual center of the Khmer Empire, the temple has undergone modifications and additions by successive kings, resulting in a unique blend of architectural styles. Unlike most Khmer temples, Preah Vihear is constructed along a long north-south axis, deviating from the conventional rectangular plan with an eastward orientation.
Recognizing its cultural and historical significance, UNESCO designated Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site on July 7th, 2008. This prestigious recognition further solidifies the temple's status as a must-visit destination for any traveler.
Our tour also takes you to Koh Ker, a renowned capital city during the reign of King Jayavarman IV. Under his rule, Koh Ker flourished as one of the Empire's most important centers. Exploring this ancient city is a rare opportunity, as not many tourists have the chance to visit. While some of the holy sanctuaries may not be accessible, rest assured that all the major ones are open for exploration.
Excitingly, Koh Ker is currently preparing to apply for inclusion as a New World Historical Heritage Site by UNESCO. By joining our tour, you have the chance to witness this extraordinary site before it gains even more global recognition.
Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to delve into the rich history and architectural wonders of Prasat Preah Vihear and Koh Ker. Book your tour with us today and create memories that will last a lifetime.
