Itinerary
BANTEAY SREI goes by many nicknames such as “The Lady temple”, “The Tiny temple”, “The Pink temple”, arguably one of finest stone carving temple anywhere on earth. This temple is unique as it was constructed by using reddish coloured sandstone, dedicated to Hindu God Shiva, then called as ‘Tribhuvanamahesvara’. Khmer King Rajendravarman-II came to power at his young age in 944CE. One of his Guru, Yajnavaraha was granted permission to build a temple complex in a rural settlement located on the outskirts of the capital Yashodharapura. This settlement was later named as ‘Ishwarapura’, which literally means ‘the city of Ishwara’. It is said that the smaller size was deliberate, to focus more on aesthetic excellence. Due to the hardness of the stone used, this temple has retained sharpness and finishing, even after 1000+ years of exposure to natural erosion.
Kbal Spean the river of 1000 lingas which was hidden on the jungle surrounding by nature. Hiking and a little swim in the waterfall is a great adventure.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.
Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
