Itinerary
Day 1: Siem Reap – Anlong Veng (L/D)
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.
