Kulen Elephant Forest and Temple Tour with Lunch in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Kulen Elephant Forest, Prasat Beng Mealea and PTT Gas Station Dom Dek. The price covers Local guide, Transportation and Tickets. 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 $299 each, so a party of 8 comes to $2,392. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Camboya Travel runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
