We will come and pick you up to start this tour after breakfast at 8 am. We’ll start this tour with Kbal Spean which is about 45 km from Siem Reap City, This tour is recommended to visitors who are fit, it’s a hiking up hill a lot up and down . Here you will see the “River of a 1000 Lingas” which is a collection of ancient stone carvings and myriads of lingums. These phallic symbols of Shiva can be found in and around the riverbed. There are also carvings of the other gods including Vishnu, Brahma, Lakshmi.

We will then head over to Banteay Srei which is called the “Citadel of the Women” in English. It’s believed that the carvings are so intricate that they could only have been carved by the delicate hands of women.This stunning temple is a must-see for anyone interested in learning the fascinating history of the Khmer people. Instead, Banteay Srey temple was built in the reign of two kings Rajendravarman II and Jayavarman V. The 3 main shrines of the structure were dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma.

Landmines left over from Cambodia’s many conflicts still kill dozens of locals a year. The Cambodia Landmine Museum, founded by former child soldier Aki Ra, shows the horrors of this national curse. The small, largely open-air museum reopened in January 2019 after a fire led to its closure.

Finally, we’ll head over to Banteay Samre. This is a 12th century Hindu temple which was built in the style of Angkor Wat. Banteay Samre is a great temple to visit because it’s well off the tourist trail and you can enjoy this magnificent temple in relative peace when compared to the large numbers of tourists which visit Angkor Wat every day.
