Preah Vihear Temple
3 hours
Affording a view of many kilometers across a plain, Prasat Preah Vihear has the most spectacular setting of all the temples built during the six-century-long Khmer Empire. As a key edifice of the empire's spiritual life, it was supported and modified by successive kings and so bears elements of several architectural styles. Preah Vihear is unusual among Khmer temples in being constructed along a long north–south axis, rather than having the conventional rectangular plan with orientation toward the east. The temple gives its name to Cambodia's Preah Vihear province, in which it is now located. On July 7, 2008, Preah Vihear was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will lead you through a tour of the temple which is home to many carvings depicting scenes like the famous curling of the sea on milk. You will then return to Siem Reap after a memorable day of exploration.
