Surrounding Siem Reap are often temple ruins, left aside to focus on the landmarks that make Angkor such an attraction. These off-the-chart ruins have played a crucial part in the development of the Khmer Empire. One of these lies hidden in the far north-western corner of the former Angkor kingdom – Banteay Chhmar. Banteay Chhmar is located around 60 kilometres away from Serey Sophoan and was constructed during the reign of Jayavarman VII in the 12th/13 century. The central temple once held an image of Srindrakumaraputra (the Crown Prince), probably a son of Jayavarman VII. Before we return to Siem reap, we will stop to visit Prasat Banteay Toap .Banteay Torp is a remote temple located 7.7km south-southeast of Banteay Chhmar (roughly 11 kilometers by modern road). Its name means "the Citadel of the Army", and likely refers to the military garrison stationed here during the reign of King Jayavaramn VII (r. 1181-1219).
