Day by day Itinerary
Day 1
Tonle Bati, Takeo, Phnom Da, and Phnom ChisorYour guide and driver will meet you at your hotel in Phnom Penh, then, drive to Tonle Bati is a small lake about 30 km south of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. It is a popular weekend destination for the local population. It is also a popular fishing spot for both tourists and locals. It has bamboo shacks built out over the water that people can rent out for eating and whiling away the day. It’s generally a weekend get-away spot, which means it’s nice and quiet during the week. Locals swim there, but the water does not look real inviting. There are all kinds of food and drink stands that sell everything you need for a picnic along the lake.
Close to the lake, there is the Ta Prohm of Bati, one of several shelters built in Cambodia and Thailand during the reign of Jayavarman VII to house the Jayabuddhamahanatha statues. It is located off the highway to Takéo Province. 20 minutes south of the lake there is another temple called Phnom Chisor. It is situated on a mountain top which requires a visitor to climb 461 steps.
Located 33 km from Phnom Penh, you may visit two Angkorian temples:
Ta Prohm (12-13th century) is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. Located approximately one kilometer east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor’s most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is one of the most visited complexes in Cambodia’s Angkor region. The conservation and restoration of Ta Prohm is a partnership project of the Archaeological Survey of India and the APSARA (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap).
Yeay Peau (12th century). Yeay Peau temple, named after King Prohm’s mother, is 150m north of Ta Prohm in the grounds of a modern pagoda. Legend has it that Peau gave birth to a son, Prohm. When Prohm discovered his father was King Preah Ket Mealea, he set off to live with the king. After a few years, he returned to his mother, but did not recognize her; taken by her beauty, he asked her to become his wife. He refused to believe Peau’s protests that she was his mother. To put off his advances, she suggested a contest to avoid the impending marriage.
You’ll next continue to Takeo where you’ll take a boat to Phnom Da. The twin hills of Phnom Da are spectacularly isolated Mont-St-Michel-style by annual floods, which require guests to arrive via Takeo on a 45-minute open-air boat ride. One hill is topped by a temple whose foundations date from the 6th century, although the temple itself was rebuilt in the 11th century. Exceptionally, the temple entrance faces north; the other three sides have blind doors decorated with bas-relief nagas (mythical serpent-beings). Five artificial caves pockmark the two hills, used for centuries as Hindu and Buddhist shrines and, during the Vietnam War, as hideouts by the Viet Cong. Phnom Da’s finest bas-relief carvings are not in situ, having been taken to museums in Angkor Borei, Phnom Penh, and Paris.
Nearby, on the second hillock, is 8m-high Wat Asram Moha Russei, a restored Hindu sanctuary that probably dates from around AD 700.
You may also visit the Ashram Maharosei (6th century), which is a Hindu temple that was built in the 6th – 7th century.
It’s an Indian-style sandstone temple. Afterward, you’ll return to Takeo and stop at the ancient site of the Chenla capital, Angkor Borei (8th century) to visit the museum.
Note: Starting from mid-February, the level of water is too low and the boat cannot reach Phnom Da. Clients have to get off from the boat (around 5 km from the site) and take a tuk-tuk instead.
Lunch is at a local restaurant, Then you’ll continue on to visit Phnom Chisor Hill is a 133 m high mountain in the Dok Por village, Rovieng commune. It lies about 42 km south of Phnom Penh. The temple was built in the 11th century from laterite and bricks with carved sandstone lintels by the Khmer Empire king Suryavarman who practiced Brahmanism. It was dedicated to the Hindu divinities Shiva and Vishnu. The original name of the temple was Sri Suryaparvata or The Mountain of Surya (The mountain of the Sun).On the east edge of the mountain, at the back of the temple, there is a prime spot for a view and pictures where you can see a vast plain of surrounding rice fields and countryside.
Enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding countryside.
Return to your hotel in Phnom Penh.
