Begin your adventure with a visit to Beng Mealea, a mysterious and atmospheric temple built in the early 12th century. Overgrown by lush jungle, massive trees and vines intertwine with ancient sandstone structures, creating a magical, almost “lost world” atmosphere.

Next, head to Banteay Srei, known as the “Citadel of Women” or “Citadel of Beauty.” Built in the 10th century and dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, this temple is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and perfectly preserved details.

Admire the unique pink sandstone, which allows for incredibly detailed carvings. Every wall, lintel, and column is covered with fine artwork depicting ancient Hindu legends and deities. Surrounded by a peaceful countryside, Banteay Srei offers a charming and memorable visit for all travelers.
