Preah Vihear UNESCO Temple Private Day Tour

Perched atop a dramatic 525-meter cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains along the Thai-Cambodian border, Preah Vihear Temple offers arguably the most breathtaking setting of any monument built during the six-century Khmer Empire. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this masterpiece of ancient architecture is celebrated for its unique 800-meter north-south axis, intricate stone pavements, and grand processional staircases.
Departing early from Siem Reap, you will enjoy a scenic 3-hour private drive through tranquil countryside into northern Cambodia. Guided by an expert local host, explore the sanctuary pavilions, learn about the temple's rich spiritual evolution under successive Khmer kings, and admire sweeping panoramic views across the Cambodian plains below. With private air-conditioned transport and door-to-door hotel transfers, experience one of Southeast Asia's most spectacular and remote historic treasures in complete comfort.

Preah Vihear Temple- UNESCO World Heritage Site

  

Meet your guide and driver at the lobby of hotel at 8 am. Then go to Preah Vihear Temple, an ancient Hindu temple built during the reign of the Khmer Empire, that is situated atop a 525-metre cliff in the mountain in Preah Vihear province, Cambodia. In 1962, following a lengthy dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over ownership, the International Court of Justice ( ICJ ) ruled that the temple is in Cambodia. Affording a view for many kilometres across a plain, Prasat Preah Vihear has the most spectacular setting of all the temples built during the six-centuries-long Khmer Empire. As a key edifice of the empire's spiritual life, it was supported and modified by successive kings and so bears elements of several architectural styles. Preah Vihear is unusual among Khmer temples in being constructed along a long north-south axis, rather than having the conventional rectangular plan with orientation toward the east. On July 7, 2008, Preah Vihear was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
