2 Day Private Tour Angkor Wat & Banteay Srei & Kulen Mountain

The uniqueness of the Angkor Wat small circuit tour is that it efficiently covers the most iconic and popular temples in a single day, including Angkor Wat, the massive Angkor Thom complex (featuring the faces of Bayon Temple). & Ta Promh. Kulen Mountain is unique for being the birthplace of the Khmer Empire, where King Jayavarman II declared independence in 802 CE. Its sacred significance is highlighted by its large reclining Buddha, sacred waterfalls, and over a thousand ancient Hindu carvings, including lingas, etched into the riverbed. It is also an important site for biodiversity and a crucial water source for the Siem Reap region. Banteay Srei is uniquely described by its intricate pink sandstone carvings, its relatively small, miniature scale, and its non-royal commission by a Brahman scholar. Also known as the "Citadel of Women," its elaborate decorations are considered among the finest examples of Khmer art, leading some to believe they were carved by women.
