Visit Banteay Srei, a World Heritage Site praised as “jewel of Khmer art” and a "precious gem" which was built by women (is also known as the “Citadel of Women”). This is one of the most unusual temples of Angkor. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples. Explore with us this Khemer work of art which is built largely of red sandstone, covered with elaborate and deeply carved decoration, and whose buildings themselves are miniature in scale. Do not miss the chance to discover the ancient power of the Khmer empire with us!
