Full-day Ankgor Wat & Banteay Srei Excursion

The pink sandstone temple was built by king Rajendravarman V in the 10th century. You’ll see that the walls of Banteay Srei temple are covered with the most deep and intricate carvings of any of the temples in Angkor. In addition to Banteay Srei, you’ll visit Pre Rup, a mountain temple also dating from the 10th century and featuring 6 tall towers. and visit East Mebon. Ta Som, Neak Paon, Preah Khan

Today we visit the most interesting temples outside Angkor Thom city. Departing your hotel at 8.00 am, you begin with first stop at Pre Rup Hindu temple built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction.

Move to Neak Pean, an artificial island with a Buddhist temple.

Construction of this site was commissioned by the great 'temple builder' Jayavaraman VII (in honour of his father) and a visit to this smaller site makes for an interesting contrast with the more imposing Angkor Wat. Preah Khan is currently being restored by the World Monument Fund and in places is in remarkably good condition.
