“Sambor Prei Kuk Tour” Archaeologically, the site is extremely important, containing some of Cambodia’s oldest surviving buildings. But you don’t have to be an archaeology buff to appreciate the ethereal beauty of this tree-wrapped site. The most important temples in the area are found in Prasat Sambor, Prasat Tao, and Prasat Yeay Peau. These temples all have remarkably clear carvings on their walls. There is plenty of ethereal ambiance provided by twisting tree trunks and coiling vines. You can access Sambor Prey Kuk from Kompong Thom.
Visit the Sambor Prei Kuk Temple complex on a private full-day tour from Siem Reap. The main temples of this Pre-Angkorian archaeological site were built in the 7th century. They are older than those of Angkor Wat. As you explore the site with a private guide, notice the temples covered in tree roots. These features make them popular photo subjects.
What To Expect
Private Sambor Prei Kuk Tour
Your private tour starts with a pickup in Siem Reap. Then you 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 were built by King Citrasena Mahendravarman of Funan. They encompass 52 temples. Some temples have collapsed and are now 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 Prey Kuk. Your guide provides information about each site. Make sure to dress conservatively appropriate for visiting the temple.
