Phnom Bakheng Sunset Tour, Pre Rup, Neak Pean, Preah Khan in Siem Reap

A half-day experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as explore pre rup hindu temple, built as the state temple of khmer king. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, English speaking tour guide and Local snacks. It does not cover lunch and temple ticket 37$/day, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Ta Prohm is the temple the French conservators deliberately left half-swallowed, so the silk-cotton and strangler fig roots still pour over its galleries, and it is the one every visitor recognises from Tomb Raider. It was built by Jayavarman VII in 1186 as a Buddhist monastery and university; an inscription records that it once supported more than 12,500 people, with another 80,000 in the villages that fed it. Wooden walkways now route visitors past the famous roots, which means the queue for the best-known tree can be long by mid-morning. Preah Khan, its larger companion to the north, gets a fraction of the crowds and is the better walk for anyone who wants the same atmosphere without the line. Priced per person at about $72 each, so a party of 8 comes to $572. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Private Siem Reap Tour Guide & Transport runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
