SACRED ASIA: Stories in Stone – A 7-Day Heritage Journey
- With Dr. Anuradha Mitra (Ph.D. Archeaology), Author | Mentor

My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam | Angkor Wat Cambodia | Phanom Rung, Thailand

SCHEDULE:

In 7 unforgettable days, journey across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand as we trace the sacred imprint of Indic traditions on Southeast Asia. We begin at Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary, where the ancient Champa Kingdom raised red-brick temples to Lord Shiva, their towers echoing India’s spiritual dialogues. From there, we step into the monumental grandeur of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, where entire landscapes were designed as cosmic diagrams of Hindu mythology. The trail culminates at Phanom Rung Historical Park in Thailand, a jewel of Khmer architecture perched atop an extinct volcano, where sunrise over the temple is nothing short of divine.

The tour flows seamlessly from country to country, combining art history, cultural experiences, local gastronomy, and photography opportunities. It’s a journey of temples, stories, and lived heritage — balancing scholarship with soulful travel.

The itinerary flows like a cultural dialogue across borders — Vietnam → Cambodia → Thailand — weaving together temple heritage, sacred geography, and living traditions. Balanced with guided storytelling, heritage walks, and cultural immersion, this journey is both scholarly and soulful.
