- What You Can Expect -

Visit to the picturesque Ta Prohm. This beautiful temple is overgrown with fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere.

The magnificent roots of the trees have merged over the centuries with the temple’s huge stone blocks, emphasizing a ‘forgotten city’ feeling. If time permits, continue your visit to more of the Angkor ruins, possibly including Preah Khan, Neak Pean, East Mebon, located on an islet in the center of the Eastern Baray, and Ta Son, a Buddhist temple built in the late 12th century and in a ruined state.

# Ta Prohm Temple

This beautifully conserved temple was built by King Jayavarman VII. The temple's main image, representing Prajnaparamita, the personification of wisdom, was modelled on the king's mother.

# Preah Khan temples

Built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII to honor his father, Dharanindravarman II. Unusually the modern name, meaning "holy sword", is derived from the meaning of the original—Nagara Jayasri (holy city of victory). Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. It is a perfect spot for taking photos.

# Neak Pean

A small island temple located in the middle of the last baray (the Preah Khan Baray or Jayatataka) to be constructed by a Khmer king in the Angkor area. The central temple sits at the axis of a cross or lotus pattern of eight pools. Originally known as Rajasri, Neak Pean took its modern appellation, which means ‘coiled serpents,’ from the encoiled nagas that encircled the temple. The temple is faced by a statue of the horse, Balaha, saving drowning sailors. Though originally dedicated to Buddha, Neak Pean contains several Hindu images. Neak Pean may have served an absolution function, and the waters were thought to have healing properties. During the dry season when the water is low, check out the animal and human headwater spouts at the outside center of each pool. Neak Pean is most photogenic in the wet season when the pools are full.

# East Mebon

Built in 953. Situated on an island in the East Baray. It is a Angkor temple with a long history. Visitors looking out from the upper level today are left to imagine the vast expanses of water that formerly surrounded the temple.
