Description
Private tour—explore the "Jewel of Khmer Art" of Banteay Srei, the jungle ruins of Beng Mealea, and Tonle Sap’s floating villages. Select your guide’s language: English, Spanish, French or Japanese.
1. Banteay Srei: The Pink Sandstone Jewel
Often called the "Citadel of Women," this 10th-century temple is famous for having the most intricate carvings in Cambodia. Built from unique pink sandstone, the level of detail in its devatas and floral motifs is so fine that legend says it could only have been carved by women.
2. Beng Mealea: The "Indiana Jones" Temple
Located about 65km from Siem Reap, this 12th-century temple remains largely unrestored. Enveloped by massive trees and thick vines, you’ll navigate over tumbled stones and wooden walkways to explore a site that feels like a genuine archaeological discovery.
3. Kampong Phluk Floating Village: Life on the Water
End your day at the stilted village of Kampong Phluk. Depending on the season, you will witness houses towering up to 10 meters on stilts or "floating" as the lake rises.
• Boat Trip: Cruise through the village to see schools, markets, and pagodas.
• Flooded Forest: (Optional) Take a small rowing boat through the serene, submerged mangrove trees.
