Discover the ancient capital of the Chenla Empire on a full-day trip from Siem Reap to Sambor Prei Kuk, a fascinating pre-Angkorian complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site whose name means ‘the temple in the richness of the forest.’ You’ll go deep into Kamphong Thom province, then walk through thick jungle with more than 100 temples carved from warm-colored sandstone. This 9-hour trip to Sambor Prei Kuk includes pickup and drop-off at hotels in Siem Reap, lunch, entrance fees, and a guided tour of the ruins.

Hop a tuk tuk for Angkor Thom and enjoy cool breezes and great views as you see Angkor Archeological Site from an open-air vehicle. While some tours speed through Angkor Thom, taking half a day to explore gives you plenty of time to fully take in Bayon’s carved faces, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King, fascinating remnants of the Khmer empire’s last capital.

Of all the temple complexes in the world, the Angkor Complex certainly hits the top spot for variety and size; from the awe-inspiring centrepiece of it all – Angkor Wat – to the numerous relics of the building, urging of one of the Jayavarman rulers of a bygone era. But once you follow lesser trodden paths with us, one sees more than just those within a stone’s throw away from your Siem Reap accommodation. We’re talking about two temples that deserve as much attention due to their construction and slightly off the beaten path location. To up the ante in terms of experience, we spice your journey up to Banteay Srey and the Ta Nei temple by driving around in a military jeep. • Admire the well-preserved stone carvings of Banteay Srei • Explore the lesser-known Ta Nei temple inside Angkor • Be driven around in an authentic military jeep • Watch how local life unfolds along country roads • Return transfers from and to your hotel are included.

This late 12th – early 13th century Buddhist temple is located in the northwest corner of Cambodia's Banteay Meanchay province and only 20km from the Thai border. It is one of the largest temple-city complexes built by a Khmer king. The temple is in a bad state of preservation as no restoration efforts were conducted here in the 20th century. The layout resembles Angkor Thom and other structures attributed to Jayavarman VII. The outer gallery is carved with bas-relief depicting military engagements and daily life scenes very similar to the well known ones in Bayon. Travelling to Banteay Chhmar takes a little effort but this should not deter you.
