The Lost Temple of Angkor – Explore Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea
Marvel at Cambodia's cultural and architectural heritage with a day trip to discover its most beautiful temples and sacred sites...
You'll start the day with a transfer to Banteay Srei ‘The citadel of women’, the only major temple not built by a monarch. Originally built in the 10th century and dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, this red sandstone temple is one of the most important structures in Angkor, recognisable by its walls which are decorated with elaborate carvings that have been remarkably well preserved.
In the afternoon, drive to the jungle temple of Beng Mealea, a Hindu temple that also features some carvings representing Buddhist motifs. The temple is largely unrestored, with trees and vegetation growing through its towers and courtyards, and many of its stones lying in large heaps, giving it an enchanting atmosphere. Away from the usual tourist routes, this remote temple offers a fascinating opportunity to experience a ruined Angkor temple surrounded by dense jungle, keeping you away from the crowds.
