Kbal Spean, Banteay Srei and Landmine Museum Tour in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap and Siem Reap Province. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Visit to Kbal Spean and Visit to Banteay Srei Temple. It does not cover personal expenses and gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Banteay Srei lies 37 kilometres north-east of the main Angkor group and is carved in a pink sandstone that holds detail no other Khmer temple keeps: the lintels and pediments are cut deep enough to throw real shadow, which is why it is called the citadel of women. It is small, it was consecrated in 967 to Shiva, and it was built by a brahmin rather than a king. Because it is out on its own it is usually paired with Kbal Spean, the river of a thousand lingas, where Shiva carvings lie in and under the stream bed and the walk up is about 1.5 kilometres of forest path. Both close earlier than the central temples, so they are morning stops. Priced per person at about $116 each, so a party of 7 comes to $810. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Angkor Wat Driver Private Tour runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
