Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Banteay Srei, Siem Reap Cambodia

Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, perfect for the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The temple extremely popular with tourists and is widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art." The temple's modern name, Banteay Srei ("citadel of the women") is probably related to the intricacy of the bas-relief carvings found on the walls and the tiny dimensions of the buildings themselves.

Stop At: Kbal Spean, Angkor Kulen Hills, Siem Reap Cambodia

After some hiking, you'll arrive at Kbal Spean, which consists of a series of stone rock relief carvings in sandstone formations of the river bed and banks. It is commonly known as the "Valley of a 1000 Lingas" or "The River of a Thousand Lingas". The motifs for stone carvings are mainly myriads of lingams (phallic symbol of Hindu god Shiva), depicted as neatly arranged bumps that cover the surface of a sandstone bed rock, and lingam-yoni designs.
