We continue our journey on foot and creep through jungle path to the north ancient library pool where we will wait for the Sun Rise. Listening to the explanations of your expert guide then spend time venturing into the central chambers of the temple, where your local guide will reveal the history, myths, and stories depicted on the stone bas reliefs (the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world) then you will venture deep into the central Chambers of this truly great temple. Your knowledgeable guide will ensure that your visit to Angkor Wat leaves you with a rich understanding of the history and purpose of the great temple, and also of the mighty Angkorian civilization.

Koulen National Park

Phnom Kulen has major symbolic importance for Cambodia as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire, for it was at Phnom Kulen that King Jayavarma II proclaimed independence from Java in 802 AD. Half an hour drive to the summit of the Koulen Mountain. Visit the 16th-century Buddist Temple (Phra Ang Tho), and it was here that King Jayavaraman II declared independence from Java in 802AD. A short climb up a stone staircase leads you to a 17-metre reclining Buddha with views across the countryside. Visit the River of 1000 Lingas, you will see hundreds of lingas carved into the sandstone riverbed. It is said that King JayavaramanII bathed in these waters and believed that the waters were holy. Then we move down to where it spills into the two-tier waterfalls.
