After breakfast at the hotel, we travel 32km to the gorgeous temple of 9th C Bantery Srei, the “Citadel of Women,” the last of Cambodia’s major Khmer temples to be re-“discovered.” Intricately carved, it contains some of the most detailed and finest bas-reliefs in Cambodia. We will then head to the well-maintained Banteay Samre, a 12th C Hindu temple.
After lunch at a local restaurant, we will visit the famed Ta Prohm Temple, whose structure is encased by the roots of gigantic fig trees.
