Tour 4 – Prasat Preah Khan (Bakan Complex)  & Ta Seng Village

Duration:

2 Days / 1 Night

Challenge:

4 stars, moderate to difficult riding in parts, on paved and unpaved, earthy, fairly flat, country roads and on the old Angkorian highway. Expereinced riders.

Difficulty for dirt riders depends on the season as a result of either mud or sand in parts.

Tour Summary:

Through enchanted forest and on the old Angkorian road, you can nearly imagine the Kings caravan passing or resting for the night.  There were always two routes to this remote temple, hard to say whether the journey there or the huge temple complex is more beautiful. This temple was built in the 9^th century and it's believed to be the second city of the Khmer Empire, where mighty King Jayavarman VII was educated.

The small village and temple complex is surrounded by forest and during the rainy season, it can be difficult if not impossible to access it. High on your list if you really want to go deep. A 5/6 hours drive including stops.

Accommodation:

Adventure travellers can overnight in a family house in the small village or camp out in a cabana within the temple. 4WD support allows for all outdoor equipment, cooks and support staff to set up jungle camp and barbeque within the temple complex   Facilities are still very basic.

Food:

Good food available along the way but basic.  Provisions also brought from Siem Reap. Our own cook can travel for large groups.  

Note: 4WD

Access by 4WD depends on the season.
