Highlights
Known as Mahendraparvata at the time of the Khmer Empire, Phnom Kulen hit the headlines in 2013 as a ‘lost city’ revealed through the use of aerial LIDAR data. This was 21st century archaeology at its very best and several new sites were discovered as well as a much bigger urban settlement than was previously realised. Explore some of these newly accessible adventures in rural Cambodia. On this experience you will set off by road from Siem Reap to Phnom Kulen, the sacred mountain that was the birthplace of the Khmer empire. It was here that Jayavarman II proclaimed independence from Java in 802AD, setting the stage for the glories of the Angkor-era that was to follow. This mountain plateau was known as Mahendraparvata and was an early capital of the Khmer empire.

Ablauf
This morning you will travel to Phnom Kulen, the sacred mountain that was the birthplace of the Khmer empire. It was here that Jayavarman II proclaimed independence from Java in 802, setting the stage for the glories of the Angkor-era that was to follow. This mountain plateau was the capital of the Khmer empire before it relocated south to Hariharalaya, known today as Roluos. Wat Pre Ang Thom is a focus of pilgrimage for Khmers during religious festivals and the large Reclining Buddha carved into a huge sandstone boulder here offers spectacular views across the lush jungle. Nearby are impressive riverbed rock carvings, including innumerable Lingas and representations of Shiva and Vishnu. There is a classic waterfall further downstream which is the perfect place to cool off after exploring and nearby is a small, jungle-clad temple called Prasat Krau Romeas. You will be served a picnic lunch before descend the plateau back to Siem Reap.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap ist die Flussstadt neben Angkor, Kambodschas riesigem Komplex von Khmer-Tempeln, mit Nachtmärkten, Flusspromenaden und entspanntem Zentrum.
Angkor Wat, oft das größte religiöse Bauwerk der Welt genannt, erhebt sich über seinem Wassergraben in einer Silhouette aus Lotosknospentürmen, die bei Sonnenaufgang atemberaubend ist. Nebenan birgt die ummauerte Stadt Angkor Thom den Bayon mit seinen mehr als zweihundert gelassenen Steingesichtern, die Elefantenterrasse und den Baphuon, während Ta Prohm von den Wurzeln riesiger Kapokbäume und Würgefeigen umklammert wird.
Top-ranked sights in Siem Reap: Angkor Thom, Tonlé Sap, Kampong Phluk.
