Kbal Spean n'est pas aussi époustouflant que d'autres anciens sites du patrimoine khmer, mais il est évocateur et charmant. Cela ne peut pas du tout être qualifié de point de repère, mais c'est l'une de ces attractions uniques au Cambodge, un lieu de magie au-delà de l'imagination. Étonnamment, Kbal Spean a été découvert et exploré pas avant 1969. Ce qui rend les "1000 Lingas" exceptionnels, c'est qu'il s'agit de sculptures sous-marines. Les Lingams sont au fond du lit de la rivière, à quelques centimètres sous le niveau de l'eau. Des œuvres d'art sous l'eau qui coule qui est la marque de fabrique de Kbal Spean, un autre attrait incomparable du Cambodge, royaume des merveilles.
La plupart des visiteurs qui ont demandé quel était le plus beau temple qu'ils aient vu au Cambodge, répondront : Angkor Wat était génial, mais nous aimons le plus Banteay Srei. Et les Cambodgiens vous diront : tant que vous n'avez pas vu Banteay Srei vous n'avez pas vu le Cambodge. En effet, Banteay Srei est en tête d'affiche d'un concours : Quel est le plus beau temple du monde ? La particularité de Banteay Srei, c'est son abondance en sculptures et l'harmonie parfaite de l'art architectural et sculptural. En fait, à Banteay Srei, la construction et l'ornementation sont presque indiscernables, comme dans le cas des meilleurs exemples de beaux-arts en Inde. Mais contrairement aux chefs-d'œuvre indiens, Banteay Srei n'est pas trop orné. Son design est discret, plus ravissant qu'impressionnant. Ses dimensions sont modestes. La plupart des visiteurs sont surpris de la petite taille de Banteay Srei.
Le Fonds de secours du Musée cambodgien des mines terrestres, fondé par le cinéaste canadien Richard Fitoussi, avait collecté des fonds pour construire une nouvelle installation.
Banteay Samre est l'un des plus beaux temples de Siem Reap, Angkor. Le temple possède des sculptures exquises de divinités hindoues, de danseurs célestes et de créatures mythiques ornant ses tours d'entrée.

Ram was an excellent guide. He took us to several temples and the Kbal Speen trek. The temples and jungle were absolutely stunning. Ram taught us about the history of the area, the religious significance, and about Cambodian culture. He is a natural teacher and speaks English very well. I highly recommend this tour...ask for Ram!!
Our guide, Mr Ram was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and interesting about temples as well as things we saw on the way and aspects of Cambodian life, and superb at identifying birds. The driver was careful and considerate and the car cool and comfortable. We stopped at a lovely restaurant for lunch (cost not included but was very reasonable). And then there were the sights themselves :-)! First we went to Banteay Samre which was pleasantly uncrowded. It was the first temple we visited so we can't really compare but it was nonetheless very impressive and Mr Ram explained its construction, history and the mythology behind the carvings. We then did the hike up to Kbal Spean. The walk through forested paths was lovely and the river carvings at the top interesting. Then lunch and on to Banteay Srei, a smaller temple with beautifully intricate carvings but also much more crowded with tourists. Finally we went to the Landmine Museum. It's not a smart museum presented in a modern way but none the less brings home the message of the awfulness of landmines and with a visit. Altogether the tour was a fascinating insight into Cambodian life and history.
Mr. Art who was our driver and Mr. Leap who was our tour guide were excellent. In particular, Leap holds a heap of knowledge about the Angkor period, and answered all our questions about Cambodia. I’m not much of a hiker myself, however I surprisingly enjoyed the trek to Kbal Spean. If you’re interested in seeing more Cambodian culture and history, other than what’s viewed at Angkor Wat this tour is a great option.
I had a wonderful time with Va. He was very kind, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to be around. We had a long day with many great sights in store, and Va always kept the atmosphere light and fun. He was able to share so much information about the temples, their art and Khmer history, and not one second was boring. Plus, he’s just a very friendly guy. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of his services— 10/10!
We booked a Kbal Spean Trekking Tour with Banteay Srei and Landmine Museum, with Mr Sara as our guide and Mr Art as our driver. Both of them are very polite, welcoming and took good care of us. Mr Sara is very knowledgeable and patient in explaining the history and characteristics of the visit sites, and my son has a good time hiking with him at Khal Spean. He is also our kind photographer and videographer to capture the beautiful moments for memories. Strongly recommend to have them to colour your day in Siem Reap!
Interesting tour with a nice short hike to see more history of Cambodia with less tourists. The tour guide and and driver were very kind and helpful during the very hot temperatures. Pity that I forgot their names :(
Awesome temples, lots of them, reconstruction is ongoing as some are quite damaged and collapsed. Entry ticket is not so cheap, 75€ for 3, one of us kid 8yo. We had tuktuk from hotel waiting for us all the time. Sunrise tour started at 4:30 hotel pickup.
Very comfortable and nice day trip to explore Kbal Spean, Banteay Srey and its surroundings with nature features and people with temples. Our tour guide, Thiara is awesome with introducing us Cambodian history and attractions. If you're the kind of tourist who's addicted to discovering nature and immerse in history, this tour is highly recommended!

Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. His English is great and gave us a lot of interesting facts and history throughout our tour. He never rushed us and took us to extra places, such as a stand where they make palm sugar. He was the best tour guide I had in Siem Reap. Extra bonus, he takes great pics of you!
