Discover two unique temples and trek through the jungle.
In the morning, drive to Banteay Samré, a temple in eastern Angkor. Visit this Hindu temple built in the early 12th century. Continue on to Banteay Srei temple, known as the "citadel of women," perhaps for its smaller size. Built largely of red sandstone, the temple boasts intricate carvings on almost every surface. Admire the remarkable preservation of these ornamental decorations and their unusual scale. Learn why this site is called “the jewel of Khmer art."
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant nearby before exploring again. Next visit Kbal Spean, an archeological site from the Angkorian era which was described as a “spectacularly carved riverbed.” Take your time to appreciate a series of stone-rock relief carvings in the sandstone riverbeds. Walk for approximately half an hour uphill along a two-kilometer jungle path to the point where the carvings begin. At this point, the path splits with one direction heading to a waterfall and the other towards the river carvings. Work your way along the riverbeds before making your way back down the path.
Enjoy a day full of adventure and extraordinary views.
