Beschrijving

Reisroute
Kbal Spean is niet zo adembenemend als andere oude Khmer-erfgoedsites, maar is suggestief en charmant. Het kan helemaal geen oriëntatiepunt worden genoemd, maar het is een van die attracties die uniek zijn voor Cambodja, een plaats van magie die onze verbeelding te boven gaat. Verrassend genoeg werd Kbal Spean pas in 1969 gevonden en verkend. Wat de "1000 Lingas" uitzonderlijk maakt, is dat het onderwatergravures zijn. De Lingams liggen op de bodem van de rivierbedding, enkele centimeters onder het waterpeil. Kunstwerken onder stromend water dat het kenmerk is van Kbal Spean, nog een onvergelijkbare aantrekkingskracht van Cambodja, Kingdom of Wonder.
De meeste bezoekers die vroegen wat de mooiste tempel was die ze in Cambodja hebben gezien, zullen antwoorden: Angkor Wat was geweldig, maar we houden het meest van Banteay Srei. En Cambodjanen zullen je vertellen: zolang je Banteay Srei niet hebt gezien, heb je Cambodja niet gezien. Banteay Srei is inderdaad een topkandidaat voor een prijsvraag: Wat is de mooiste tempel ter wereld? Het bijzondere aan Banteay Srei is de overvloed aan houtsnijwerk en de perfecte harmonie van architecturale en beeldhouwkunst. In Banteay Srei is bouwen en versiering bijna niet te onderscheiden, zoals in het geval van de beste voorbeelden van schone kunsten in India. Maar in tegenstelling tot Indiase meesterwerken is Banteay Srei niet overdreven sierlijk. Het ontwerp is discreet, meer verrukkelijk dan indrukwekkend. De afmetingen zijn bescheiden. De meeste bezoekers zijn verrast, hoe klein Banteay Srei is.
Het Cambodjaanse Landmine Museum Relief Fund, opgericht door de Canadese filmmaker Richard Fitoussi, had geld ingezameld om een nieuwe faciliteit te bouwen.
Banteay Samre is een van de mooiste tempels in Siem Reap, Angkor. De tempel beschikt over prachtige gravures van hindoegoden, hemelse dansers en mythische wezens die de toegangstorens sieren

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!
