Private One Day Tour: Banteay Srey, Beng Melea and Kompong Kleang

Overview

You are going to visit Banteay Srei temple, the pink sandstone construction temple built by king Rajendravarman V in late 10th century. Walls of Banteay Srei temple its self are densely covered with some of the most beautiful, deep and intricate carving of any Angkorian Temple. Then go to Beng Mea lea, built as a Hindu temple, but there are some carvings depicting Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. After that, go Kampong Khleang located on the northern lake-edge about 55 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less tourist place. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In wet season the waters rise up to one or two meters of the buildings.
