It is a unique feeling when visiting Kbal Spean because this secret place is hiding in the forest. We will need to go trekking to reach the site while enjoying the view of nature and wildlife. On the way back, we will visit Banteay Srei Temple, the beautiful ‘Women’s Citadel’. Located 32 kms. From Siem Reap town, this was Cambodia’s last major Khmer temple to be re-discovered. Originally called Tribhuvanamahesvara, the name Banteay Srei (or Banteay Srey) is a modern one, meaning “citadel of the women” or, “citadel of beauty”. People speculate that this is due to its miniature scale, the pink color of the limestone, and the elaborate decorative carvings of many devatas (minor female deities) that grace its walls. Then move to Banteay Samre Temple. It was built in the middle of the 12th century by King Suryavarman II (reigned 1113-1150) and dedicated to Hindu (dedicated to Vishnu).
