Description

Explore the Preah Khan, Ta Som, and Neak Pean temples on a private tour. Discover the intricate carvings and architecture of the temples and learn about their history from your guide.
Discover the Preah Khan, Ta Som, and Neak Pean temples on a private half-day tour. See the roots and trees, moats and water reservoirs, and the architecture and carvings of these ancient temples.

Travel to Preah Khan, another temple with spectacular trees and roots taking over the ancient man-made structures. Explore the delicate carvings and don't miss the only two-storey construction in Angkor. Standing on high columns, this is a unique phenomenon in Khmer architecture.

Your knowledgeable guide will help you navigate through the temple grounds before continuing further. Constructed in roughly the same period as Preah Khan, Neak Pean offers a different view altogether. Located in the center of the Northern Baray, this temple is essentially an island and most impressive to view 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 at 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.
