A time to reflect
As the year draws to a close and the festive season ensues, Aman’s retreats across the globe celebrate reflection in all its forms.
Nestled at the threshold of Angkor Wat, Amansara offers a variety of temple tours and customised excursions as part of our tailored guest experience. Several tours utilise Amansara’s own fleet of remorks (moped-powered trishaws), each with its own Amansara driver and English-speaking guide.
Unravel Angkor's Javan Roots
Explore Cambodia’s Angkor Wat with an Amansara cultural guide and discover how its story began with Borobudur, built by the Sailendra Dynasty in 824 CE on the Kedu Plain, and today overlooked by tranquil Amanjiwo.
Angkor Wat, the Great Wonder
Capturing the atmosphere of the temple as the sun rises is our preferred way to present this magnificent monument.
A 4:30am wake up call and prompt 5am departure from Amansara will allow you to arrive by remork with the first morning light as we head for the East Causeway. Your guide will escort you through the entrance gate along a forested path and then into Angkor Wat to the first level and up to the second level of the temple, providing time for personal exploration. All being well, you should witness dawn with very few others.
Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm, its hewn stones entwined with the silk-cotton and strangler fig tree roots of the encroaching jungle, is one of the most popular and photogenic temples in the archaeological park. Once home to 615 apsara dancers according to this temple’s precise records carved onto a stele, Ta Prohm provides you the rare opportunity to witness man versus nature in action, against the glowing rays of the sun.
Trek the Angkor jungle
Set out on a guided hike among the trees, vines and rare flora of the ancient forests surrounding the temples, every bit as fascinating as the ruins they concealed and preserved for thousands of years. Amansara’s guide is an expert in regional wildlife, medicinal herbs and forest fruits, and leads guests through the network of hidden trails to reveal another side of the Angkor story.
