Private Sambor Prei Kuk Temple Tour

Summary

Your private tour begins with pickup in Siem Reap for the drive to Sambor Prei Kuk in Cambodia’s Kampong Thom province. Enjoy views along the way, and stop at a local market and an old bridge. The archaeological ruins of the complex, built by King Citrasena Mahendravarman of Funan, encompass 52 temples, some of which have collapsed and been covered by dirt. Others are in fairly good condition, while nature devoured some, causing them to be overgrown by trees, a fascinating sight. You have about three hours to explore the temple ruins of Sambor Prei Kuk with your guide, who provides information about each site. Make sure to dress conservatively as appropriate for visiting the temple. Each tour vehicle holds a maximum of three guests.

Why take this tour?

This private tour picks you up in Siem Reap and takes you out to the 7th century temples at Sambor Prei Kuk. These limestone temples are even older than those by Angkor Wat, and were built by King Citrasena Mahendravarman of Funan in the pre-Angkorian era. Aside from their age and fascinating history, some of the temples are covered in tree roots—making for excellent photos—and your guide will tell you all about the area's ancient past.
