Surrounding Siem Reap are often temple ruins, left aside to focus on the landmarks that make Angkor such an attraction. These off-the-chart ruins have played a crucial part in the development of the Khmer Empire. One of these lies hidden in the far north-western corner of the former Angkor kingdom – Banteay Chhmar. Banteay Chhmar is located around 60 kilometres away from Serey Sophoan and was constructed during the reign of Jayavarman VII in the 12th/13 century. The central temple once held an image of Srindrakumaraputra (the Crown Prince), probably a son of Jayavarman VII. • Wander around an untouched pearl from the Angkor era; • Banteay Chhmar is a perfect example of rural Siem Reap • Learn how locals earn a living through silk weaving • See Cambodia from an untouched rural perspective • Lunch is included at a local restaurant

  • Banteay Chhmar, Banteay Chhmar, Cambodia
    Thought to translate to 'The Small Citadel' or 'Narrow Fortress', Banteay Chhmar is the Angkorian period's fourth-largest temple after Preah Khan, Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat. Considered as the country's most important temple of the same era, the complex consists of a moat and reservoir set in a remote, lush and unspoilt setting. Although little is known about the temple, it is known that King Jayavarman VII commissioned it in the late twelfth and early thirteenth century and a shrine within the complex held the image of his Crown Prince.

  • Soieries du Mekong, Siem Reap, Cambodia
    After a local lunch at a community restaurant, we make a stop at a French NGO project call "Les Soieries du Mekong’. This not-for-profit project is encouraging, and training, young Cambodians in the region around the temple keeping traditional silk weaving skills alive. An admirable initiative that gives these young artisans a source of income and a brighter future. It will be a long drive back to Siem Reap, but en route, the true heart of traditional Cambodia will keep you entertained until your return at your overnight address.

I find it difficult to write a review about this trip. On the one hand, our Cambodian guide Soren and driver were very good. However, the cost that Viator takes for this trip is far too excessive. Over £300 for a day trip to drive up to BC and back is excessive. So I would recommend the guide/driver and visit but no way is it worth £300. This is exorbitant pricing - especially when you compare the Angkor complex visit which is only £50. Please reconsider your pricing, Viator.
