Rafting on the Mekong, enjoying a sumptuous meal in Hanoi – here is Indochina
The Angkor era was heralded by the ascendance of King Jayavarman to the throne of the same name whilst uniting the local warring tribes at the time and proceeded to construct the irrigation system at Lolei and then built the tower of Preah Ko in 879 AD
The Angkor complex as we see it now is a series of temples and edifices built by various kings during the 9th to the 13th centuries when the effort of constructing Angkor Wat (12th cent), Angkor Thom (also 12th cent), Phnom Bahkheng (10th cent), Preah Khan (12th cent), Prasat Kravan and Prasat Takeo(10th cent) took it’s toll on the civilisation which ultimately led to a period of decline resulting in successive Siamese and Cham invasions.
The reason this tour mentions the jungle is that fact that in 1858 French botanist Henri Muhout initiated the years of archaeological work that led to more and more of the ruins being uncovered from the grasp of the jungles that had enveloped the site since the 15th century when the site was sacked by Siamese troops. Today we’re able to help provide bicycles and private guides to this site covering around 5 square miles with accommodation situated within the nearby town of Siem Reap as a base
