Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kbal Spean, Angkor Kulen Hills, Siem Reap Cambodia
Kbal Spean is not as breathtaking as other ancient Khmer heritage sites, but is evocative and charming. It can not at all be called a landmark, but it is one of those attractions that are unique to Cambodia, a place of magic beyond imagination. Surprisingly, Kbal Spean was found and explored not before 1969.
What makes the "1000 Lingas" exceptional is that they are underwater carvings. The Lingams are at the bottom of the river bed, a few centimetres below the water level. Works of art under flowing water that is the hallmark of Kbal Spean, one more incomparable appeal of Cambodia, Kingdom of Wonder.

Stop At: Banteay Srei Temple, Angkor Archaeological Park, Siem Reap 17000, Cambodia
Most visitors asked which was the most beautiful temple they saw in Cambodia, will answer: Angkor Wat was great, but we love Banteay Srei most. And Cambodians will tell you: As long as you have not seen Banteay Srei you have not seen Cambodia. Indeed, Banteay Srei is a top candidate for a competition: Which is the nicest temple in the world?
What is special about Banteay Srei, is its abundance in carvings and the perfect harmony of architectural and sculptural art. Actually, at Banteay Srei building and ornamentation is nearly undiscernable, as in the case of the best examples of fine arts in India. But in contrast to Indian masterpieces Banteay Srei is not over-ornate. It's design is discreet, more delightful than impressive. Its dimensions are modest. Most visitors are surprised, how small Banteay Srei is.

Stop At: Preah Khan Temple, FV6C+QJ4, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia
Preah Khan is a tremendous temple, incredibly vast and complex. It seems to be an endless labyrinth of rectangle courtyards and dark aisles. Outside of Cambodia, there are no comparably large forested areas as closely packed with ruins as Preah Khan. This 12th century sanctuary is Angkor's largest flat temple.
The modern visitor interested in cultural history should have in mind: Preah Khan was not only a temple. It was a Buddhist monastery, an ensemble of shrines for 430 Hindu gods, a Mahayana university with over 1000 teachers, a fairground employing hundreds of professional dancers, an agricultural administration head office, a royal palace, and an entire city - all of that at the same time.
