Discover Banteay Srei and Kbal Spean. Banteay Srei is 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”). Kbal Spean is a, very peaceful, and peculiar temple situated along a 1,500 meters stretch of the Stung Kbal Spean River and surrounded by the lush jungle. Both temples are 25 km away of the main group of temples, but it is very appealing visiting them because of their originality and beauty.
Pick up you at your hotel and transfer to Banteay Srey temple (35kam) - the Citadel of women. This Hindu temple, dating back to the 10th century, has three central towers each decorated with superbly intricate reliefs of male and female divinities, carved from pink sandstone contrasting with the main walls made of laterite. While many of Angkor temples are impressive because of their sheer size, Banteay Srei stands out by the quality of craftsmanship.
Continue the tour, we transfer to visit Kbal Spean, one of the most complete complex at Angkor, restored with the method of the anastylosis. Built under the reign of Suryavarman II during the mid 12th century, its unique feature is the interior moat covered with a laterite paving. Not very touristic, you should appreciate its peaceful atmosphere.
After the visit, we will drive you back to your hotel.
