6.Bantey Srei, Kbal Spean and Landmine museum Private Tuk-Tuk

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 30 reviews · 6 hours

Take a private tuk-tuk from Siem Reap to Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean, and the Cambodia Landmine Museum. Expect an English-speaking driver, a 1-kilometer forest hike, intricate temple carvings, and a sobering look at Cambodia’s mine-clearing work. The $43 price covers a group of up to two, but temple admission is extra.

“Three good destinations, and very nice to go in tuktuk and really see the landscape on the way. We went with Mr Tonh Tonh who was great, a very kind and calm driver and open to suggestions about the order or other attractions in the way. The kbal spean is mostly interesting for the hike, the thousand lingas were quite small, but still interesting to see the 700 year old carvings. Banteay Srei was beautiful and interesting to see the landmine museum and meet the founder who demined so many mines throughout Cambodia”
