Banteay Chhmar Temple Tour

Explore one of Cambodia’s most important temples Banteay Chhmar in the north-west of Cambodia in Banteay Meancheay province. This unique and hidden treasure is situated in unspoilt surroundings in a remote part of Cambodia.

Banteay Chhmar Temple is the 4th largest temple complex dating from the Angkorian period, with 9 satellite temples and Banteay Top south of the main temple. The main temple is believed to have housed one of the largest and most impressive Buddhist monasteries of the Angkorian period and today is one of the few temples to feature the enigmatic, Bayon-style smiling faces.

It’s remoteness from Angkor Wat, explains the lack of in-depth documentation and study of the temple and also means that the temple is not frequently visited by tourists. However, going to this temple will give you a true feeling of the glory of the Khmer Empire and is an experience not to be missed.

The temple complex is located in the North-West of Cambodia. We will leave Siem Reap at 7am and travel west following NH 6 towards Sisophon. After a brief stop in Sisophon we will turn north towards the Thai border and Banteay Chhmar. During the late morning and early afternoon we will explore the Banteay Chhmar Temple Complex and also enjoy a picnic lunch (or lunch in a local restaurant?). We then drive through the beautiful countryside to continue the tour at Banteay Top and after that we will make our way back to Siem Reap.
