Asian Trails digs deeper at secluded Khmer shrines
Asian Trails digs deeper at secluded Khmer shrines
The desire for more remote temple exploration beyond the Angkor Archaeological Park’s mainstream attractions has led to the creation of a new Asian Trails’ excursion.
Guests are conveyed by tuk-tuk and accompanied by a guide to the 9th century, pre-Angkor era sites of Prei Montie and Totung Thngai. Part of the Roluos group of temples, these are the oldest shrines in Cambodia. They are hidden in a forest that surrounds the first capital city of the Khmer Empire. Prei Montie is a small site of three brick towers atop a sandstone base, with a small decorated stone basin at the entrance.
After exploration, a picnic lunch is eaten in a tranquil location.
