Itinerary
Get an early start to experience morning prayers with Khmer monks in the midst of ancient Angkor. This special pre-dawn experience begins with a private transfer from your hotel to Phnom Krom, a ninth-century pagoda nestled on a hill overlooking rural Siem Reap. Experience the peaceful walk up to the pagoda, about a 30-minute walk in the dark with just the light of a torch to guide you. At the pagoda, the sound of the monks chanting fills the air as they perform a ritual purification ceremony. Experience a brief meditation and receive a blessing from the abbot. Savor a light breakfast while watching the sun slowly rise above the horizon, revealing the true beauty of Tonle Sap Lake and the surrounding Angkorian plains.
Please note: Please dress appropriately when visiting temples and religious sites. Shoulders and knees should be covered (no short skirts or short trousers).
