We'll visit three temples at what is today called Roluos have temple such as Lo Lei Temple, Preah Ko Temple and Bakong Temple. The site used to be the capital city of the Khmer Empire before it was moved briefly to Koh Ker and then permanently to Angkor Thom. In Preah Ko, you can see the 3 towers with stone lions and intricate carvings. We will then stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch, we'll visit a local village and market. You can see how the locals go about their everyday business and stop to look around a market where you can buy cheap gifts for your loved ones. We'll then head over to Bakheng Mountain which was established in the early 10th century to see the wonderful view over Angkor Wat. The mountain was dedicated to Shiva and built during the reign of the first King Suryavamrn.
