Banteay Srei is a Cambodian temple in the Angkor area, built in the 10th century CE to honour the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati. Its buildings are unusually small by Angkorian standards and made largely of red sandstone, which suits detailed wall carvings that can still be seen.
Plan Cambodia
Cambodia's largest museum of cultural history, housing a rich collection of Khmer art.
Plan CambodiaHere is what 3 days in Cambodia look like when the planner builds them - arriving at noon on the first day and flying home at noon on the last. Stops are grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, and the same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
The route assumes the first day starts at noon, after you land, and the last ends at noon, before your flight. It also assumes a car: the places are spread across a wide area. It is an example: with your dates the planner builds a route around your landing and your flight home, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
