Beyond these colossal structures, your 8-day tour includes explorations of other exquisite and historically significant temples. Journey to Banteay Srei, often celebrated as the "Citadel of Women" for its remarkably delicate and detailed pink sandstone carvings, a true testament to Khmer artistic prowess.
