Itinerary

1

Banteay Srei is a miniature temple in much better condition than most in Angkor. It received extensive restoration after it was 'rediscovered' in the early 20th century, including many elements being rebuilt with original materials. As such it provides an excellent insight into how many of the other Angkor temples might have looked when originally built (albeit smaller and without paint).

Duration: 2 hoursAdmission: NO
2

Kbal Spean means 'Bridge Head' in Khmer and is an ancient Angkorian site, part of Phnom Kulen National Park. Its name comes from a natural sandstone rock bridge over the Kbal Spean River.

3

Beng Mealea is one of Cambodia's hidden gems. Far from the rest of the Angkor temples, visitors often find themselves exploring the ruins alone, as many don't make the trip out to this haunting place. The temple has nearly completely been overtaken by the jungle, making it one of the least-conserved Angkor temples.
