Banteay Srei & Kulen Mountain & Boeng Melea

The most beautiful, pink sandstone temple with detailed caving. Its 35 kilometers away from grand tour site. Because of its delicate carvings Banteay Srei is also known as “Lady Temple”. You can stop mid-way to see locals making the natural sugar products from the sugar palm. Maybe you have never seen this before so take the opportunity while in this in this area.

This is  almost an hour a half away by car. You can swim at the waterfall (ask your hotel if you can borrow a towel) if you want to swim. Kulen is a famous attraction, popular with locals as well as visitors. A Trekking Tour is possible. The mountain has a few temples which were built in 802 AD, before the Angkor era, which you will see.

+ Waterfall
+ Holy River-Lingam and Yoni
+ Reclining Buddha
+ Hindu Worship
+ Ocean Rock
+ Creek of Rock and view

Other places you can see are the bat caves, elephant’s pond, ancient temples and bas relief on big natural sandstones in the jungle. This takes at least two and a half hours by motorbike. If you would like to include this optional tour, please discuss with your tour guide who will ask local motorbike drivers to take you. Only one driver and one passenger per motorbike. Make sure to take drinking water. If you decide to do this extra sightseeing, it will be a great jungle adventure. You will pay directly to the local motorbike driver as it’s not part of our tour.

This temple is quite different to other temple sites. It has not been repaired and you can see how it looked when discovered. See how the jungle took over, causing the temple to collapse. Wander around the ruins, find a quiet place to contemplate the history. Many photo opportunities for you.
