This morning you will head out of town continuing on a dirt road to Kbal Spean. Once there hike for about two hours to get to the “River of a Thousand Lingas.” In ancient times if water ran over lingas it was said to be holy water. The ancient Khmers therefore made thousands of lingas along this riverbed so the water that flowed to their rice fields was blessed. The lingas and other stone carvings remain today. Have fun exploring the surrounding jungle. Journeys Within will pack a picnic lunch to be enjoyed overlooking the river.
In the afternoon head out to do the Grand Circuit, including the well known temples Preah Khan and Neak Pean constructed by the king JayavarmanVII. Then continue on to see Ta Som, East Mebone and finally Pre Rup, where you will enjoy the sunset in this beautiful quiet setting.
