Itinerary in details:
Day 1: Siem Reap - Along Veng (B,L)
Following a transfer from your hotel to HC base camp and a brief of
the tour, guest travel through the Angkor complex north to the small
town of Anlong Veng, 130 km north of Siem Reap. The beautiful Dangrek
escarpment, 16kms further and part of the Dangrek mountain range,
provides a natural border between Thailand and Cambodia. This town and
area was the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge.
Enjoy an excellent lunch in the town before driving up the escarpment.
Pol Pot lived here during his last years and died in his jungle hide out
on the mountain in 1998. Tour of the mountain, Pol Pots grave and bunker
and the remains of the house he was tried in, visit with local people,
dinner and over night in a spectacular mountain camp in comfortable
bungalows.
Day 2: Preah Vihear (B,L,D)
Following a hearty breakfast and a tour of Ta Mok’s villa in the
town, continue east to Preah Vihear temple, a stunning temple located on
a mountaintop, overlooking Thailand and Cambodia. The 120km journey
passes through Kulen Prum Tep Wildlife Sanctuary on a newly constructed
road to the base of this isolated temple in the sky. Preah Vihear Temple
was built over the ninth to the twelfth century and juts out over the
surrounding countryside on a cliff.
At the base of the temple, on the mountain top, there is a small
community of families who run the busy market, our resting spot. We stay
with a prominent local family in the village. Facilities are basic -
shared bathroom, thin mattresses but welcoming. Option for hammock and
camping, out if requested. Also option to return to return to the base
of the mountain and stay there.
