Archaeological complex of Banteay Chhmar

Overview

Under the guidance of a professional archaeologist visit Banteay Chhmar which is one of the most impressive temple complexes beyond the Angkor area both for it’s scale and it’s remote location.
Located 110km west of Siem Reap, Banteay Chhmar fits the picture of a lost Khmer city with its ruined face-towers, carvings, forest surroundings and bird life flying through the temple. For 800 years, the temple has remained mostly undiscovered and untouched.
