We depart from your hotel at 7:00 am and travel to the north of Cambodia near the Thai border to see Preah Vihear, the most spectacular mountain temple in Cambodia. It was built in the 11th century during the Khmer Empire. It is located on a cliff on top of a mountain with a lush forest below it. The temple was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008. Along the way, you can see the captivating views of the countryside, the temple in its distance, and everything in between. To reach the most spectacular mountain temple, we will need to hire a truck to take us to the top of the mountain. The cost for this transfer is $25 for groups of 1-6 people. After visiting Preah Vihear temple, we will stop for lunch on the way to the Koh Ker archaeological site before continuing on to Linga Pura, another ancient Khmer city. After a brief but fulfilling lunch break, we will head out for a much-anticipated visit to Linga Pura, a historical city that is well worth a visit with your experienced tour guide. There are three spectacular temples in Koh Ker archaeological site that are worth seeing such as Prasat Thom (the Pyramid temple), Prasat Linga, and Prasat Prum. We can expect to return to Siem Reap town in the late afternoon.
