Naga (Dragon)

N?ga (Sanskrit) Indonesian: naga, Javanese: nogo, Khmer: neak) is the Sanskrit and P?li word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very large snake, found in Hinduism and Buddhism. In myths, legends, scripture and folklore, the category naga comprises all kinds of serpentine beings. Under this rubric are snakes, usually of the python kind (despite the fact that naga is usually taken literally to refer to a cobra,) deities of the primal ocean and of mountain springs; also spirits of earth and the realm beneath it, and finally, dragons. In Indian mythology, Nagas are primarily serpent-beings living under the sea. However, Varuna, the Vedic god of storms, is viewed as the King of the Nagas, ie. Nagarajah. So, Naga symbolizes of water, primordial Wisdom and in psychoanalysis.

You like the friendly atmosphere of a group and to travel with the minimum hassle but sometime you need to explore on your own to taste the feeling of being an adventurer? So this style is yours. You will travel with the security and advices of a local guide leader but you will have plenty of free time at each location visited for independent exploration.

This four day adventure will provide the best experience of Cambodia in this area. We visit places that lay undiscovered since the war from 1970 - 1998. People have been afraid to go to these places because of the history of the former Khmer Rouge strongholds - being the last place that Pol Pot and his cronies ruled over.

Most of the temples were rediscovered in 1998 after the war finished. The roads are sometimes rough but the real Cambodia lies along your pathway. You will explore areas where few tourists venture. Come with us in safety as we know the way.

DAY 1: PHNOM KULEN - ANLONG VENG

After pick up and drive 48 km northeast of Siem Reap to the Phnom Kulen (Lychee Mountain), a sandstone plateau considered sacred by the Khmers. This place is widely regarded as the birth place of the ancient Khmer Empire.

Our vehicle will take us up a steep dirt road almost to the top of the mountain; on the way you will see dramatic scenery. There are ancient sculptures on the riverbed while crossing the bridge, then up steps to a pagoda nestled between large rocks where you will see the biggest reclining Buddha of the country, carved in the rock.

We will rest here to enjoy the view of the countryside then continue our hike to the 30 meter high waterfall where you will have a picnic lunch. This is a very popular place for Khmer people who come and enjoy picnics on the weekend. More carvings stand in the riverbed above the waterfall.

After a good and refreshing swim with the locals, (don’t forget your swimsuits), we will continue our drive to the north on a countryside road.
This 2 hour trip through the jungle will pass few signs of civilization until arriving late afternoon at Anlong Veng, a small city close to the Dongrek Mountain which offers a panoramic view over to Thailand. Anlong Veng is sadly famous for having been the last Khmer Rouge stronghold. Some remains testify to this recent past such as the Pol Pot’s residence and cremation site and the villa of Ta Mok, a right-hand man of Pol Pot otherwise known as the “Butcher”.
We will check-in at our hotel before going to dinner. Overnight in Anlong Veng

Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

DAY 2: ANLONG VENG - PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE

After breakfast, we will have some time to explore Anlong Veng and its most popular destination, Oh ChiK, an artificial lake initially built as a moat by Ta Mok for his house. Ta Mok was a maniacal dam builder, and flooded much of the area while trying to develop the lake, now a popular swimming spot for the children.

At 10am, we will resume our journey and drive about 4 hours to Preah Vihear. At an altitude of more than 700 m, this temple dominates the plain from its prominent position in the Dongrek Mountains, which straddle the Thai border. The way to the top is very steep on the Cambodian side while it slopes gently towards Thailand. However our efforts will be rewarded as on clear days there is a stunning view onto the surrounding reaching all the way to Phnom Kulen to the west and the intersection of the Lao, Thai and Cambodian borders to the east.

Preah Vihear, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, was built in the late 9th century under the reign of Yasovarman I with significant later additions by the following kings, especially Suryavarman II (1112-1152), the builder of Angkor Wat. The temple complex runs 800m along a north-south axis, and consists essentially of a causeway and steps rising up the hill towards the sanctuary, which sits on the cliff top at the southern end of the complex. It has four levels and four courtyards, and also five Gopuras, or entrance pavilions, sometimes surmounted by a tower.

We will have plenty of time to visit the temple and the area and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the top of the hill before having dinner and spending the night in one of the guesthouses near the temple. Overnight in Preah Vihear

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

DAY 3: PREAH VIHEAR - TBENG MEANCHEY

If you wish you will be able to get up early in the hope to catch the sunrise from the top. We will have breakfast and spend some more time to visit the temple with the morning light before leaving this magical place.
From here we will drive about 5 hours on a cart track through the deciduous dipterocarp forest and grassland mosaic of the Northern Plains of Cambodia, home of some of the rarest bird species of South-east Asia, such as some Ibis (like the Giant Ibis, the Cambodia’s national bird), Vultures and Ducks; most of them are endangered. Mid afternoon we will arrive in the small provincial capital city of Tbeng Meancheay.
Here we will have time to relax and visit the Joom Noon Silk Project and Wat Chey Preuk, few remaining structures of an ancient Pre-Angkorian temples, before having dinner.

The Joom Noon Silk project is a local initiative to help rehabilitate people with disabilities and which produce some of the country’s finest silk. Overnight in Tbeng Meanchey

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

DAY 4: TBENG MEANCHEY - KOH KER - BENG MEALEA TEMPLE

After breakfast, we will leave Tbeng Meanchey around 8 am and drive to Koh Ker - about 2 hours.
Koh Ker was the capital city of the Khmer Empire from 928 to 944 during the reign of Jayavarman IV. He is sometimes considered a usurper because of the disruption in the royal succession at the time of its accession.

Two kings reigned in Koh Ker; Jayavarman IV, who probably already lived there since 921, and his son Harshavarman II who stayed on the throne only 3 years, from 941 to 944. Rajandravarman II, Harshavarman’s II son, moved back the capital to Yashodharapura (Angkor) after his accession. The main ruins at Koh Ker consist of an impressive seven-storey sandstone pyramid (Prasat Thom).

The second biggest structure of Koh Ker is Prasat Krahom (red temple) built with red bricks and lost in the jungle. The surrounding land was irrigated by the Rahal Baray, similar to, but smaller than, the ones at Angkor. It is believed that over 80 ruins lie in this area. A lot of the beautiful carvings created in Koh Ker are now kept in the National Museum in Phnom Penh. After a picnic lunch near the temples, we will resume our journey.

A one-hour drive will take us to Beng Melea. Beng Melea was built during the 12th century during the reign of Suryavarman II, at about the same time as Angkor Wat of which its layout and style closely mirror. However, Beng Melea is completely ruined and largely overrun by vegetation and competes with Ta Prohm for the “lost in the jungle” ambience. It is a tangle of trees, lichen-covered stones, broken towers and galleries. Many impressive sculptures are hidden among the rubble and the vegetation. This temple is very lightly touristed and offers plenty of picturesque photo opportunities.
After the visit, we will drive to the south and along the national road 6 to reach Kompong Kdei bridge.
Phra Phutthos, better know as Kompong Kdei bridge because of its vicinity to the city of the same name, was constructed at the end of the 12th century during the reign of Jayavarman VII. This is an imposing stone structure with more than twenty narrow arches spanning 75 meters. Receiving few visitors, Phra Phutthos is notwithstanding the longest corbelled stone-arch bridge in the world and really worth the detour! After the visit, we will drive back to Siem Reap for your departure flight or your extend stay in Siem Reap.

We book restaurants that are of a high quality and take time to do routine hotel inspections. Please also bear in mind that Cambodia is a popular place for tourists and many hotels, flights etc get booked up months in advance, so to avoid disappointment and the chance of spending your holiday tying to book your holiday, we recommend booking as much in advance as possible, then you can sit back and relax.?

What if I have special needs for the adventure??

If you have special requirements – for example, if you have a large group or young children, if you are handicapped or have physical limitations, if you have special transportation needs, or if you are vegetarian or have other food allergies – please let us know, and we can work with both you to ensure that we can meet your needs.?

What happens if something goes wrong during the trip?

We try our very best to ensure the smooth running of your trip but some things are taken out of our hands. Before your holiday we will email you out of hours emergency contact numbers so that in the unlikely event of a problem occurring you can always contact one of our staff. We also provide you with the cell phone number of your consultant so that if there is a problem you can call them and they will be able to help. All our guides are first aid trained and if there is a medical problem we will help to get you the assistance you need (providing you have adequate medical insurance). We ensure that we have your emergency contact information for someone at home so they can be contacted if necessary. For any more questions please email office@spiritasiatravel.com and someone will get back to you shortly.

Hi Mr V, Just a quick email to say we really enjoyed our trip with you and your crew. Everything went seamlessly and fully met (and exceeded) our expectations. We have talked to many of our friends about your team and how courteous, friendly and helpful you all were and what a great experiences you provided us. You certainly spiked our interest about exploring by bike again, the northern aspect of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. I think I recall that you said you could coordinate something as you have done so previously. We would love to hear your thoughts.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of being guided around the historical sites of Siem Reap by Vireak (Mr V) from Spirit Asia Travel, Cambodia. His superior historical knowledge bought to life what could well have been just a bunch of ancient stone temples. His recounting of the stories relating to the construction of the individual temples and the descriptions of the many superb carvings was delivered with passion and straight from the heart. Vireak's knowledge doesn't just relate to the temples and carvings. He has extensive knowledge relating to the history of Cambodia and the many conflicts it has experienced. We would thoroughly recommend engaging Vireak and Spirit Asia Travel to bring the Cambodian experience alive.'

Hi Mister V, Nice to hear from you and how are you doing? Some time ago I saw you in Germany TV!!! documentation about Cambodia. You have been with another group at Spiders village. Unfortunately I did not had your email address and any contact because I wanted to tell you that I have seen you in TV. I always remember our fantastic trip in Cambodia. I think it was the best trip in my life so far. Love,

V, Just want to thank you for all your assistance. You have made the trip through Cambodia a breeze and a blast. I wish you luck with your future and hope you will make it to Australia one day. Make sure you look me up when you do. I will always remember your friendship on the tour and the immortal words “Never try, Never Know” I think I may start living life by these four words. Again thanks, Your Aussie mate,

Vireak was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the places we toured, and in general about Cambodia. His enthusiasm was contagious! Throughout the trip, he was very organized & responsible, extremely professional and genuinely seemed to care if we were enjoying our trip. He encouraged questions about the country and the culture and really went above and beyond the call of duty. Another plus is that his English skills are superb---leaps and bounds better than many other so called English speaking guides we overhead while viewing the temples.

Give the man a raise! I recommend this trip with the guidance of mr. v as your tour leader. NEVER TRY NEVER KNOW”.

Rock your World is the way to discovering Cambodia as an experience with a fantastic group of people. A lot of our experiences were off the beaten track and even the ones on the beaten track were really off the beaten track. Thank god for dynamics within the group and mostly thanks to the exceptional knowledge and passion of Mr. V. If you have the same thoughts on the plane on the way home, as you did coming in, then you were fast asleep.

“It was a fantastic trip, Cambodia is a beautiful place and we will all share many special memories. Mr V our superb guide kept us happy, amused, entertained and informed. He was a pleasure to travel with.”

This was my first group tour, and what a fantastic introduction!!! Our tour leader Vireak (\”Mr V/”) was SENSATIONAL. Really, I can do him no justice in 50 words. He gave us personal insight into sensitive issues, and really managed to have fun with us. Despite the great poverty, Cambodia has left the greatest impression on me. I loved the smiling faces of the children, the culinary experiences and the entertainment Mr V provided. He gave very informative tours of Angkor Wat, the killing fields and the genocide museum. I’ll be sure to share my amazing experiences with my friends, and expect to return some day.”
