Visit Kbal Spean, about 50 km northeast of Siem Reap. Walking up the Kbal Spean hill about 1800 m along a passage through the jungle you will get a river and see many lingas elaborately caved on the riverbed. So the river is also known as a “River of a Thousand Lingas”. Following the river down, there are some carvings of Vishnu and Shiva with his wife Uma and five-meter high Waterfall. On the way back from Kbal Spean, visit Banteay Srei temple, a tiny temple complex consider by many visitors to be the highest achievement in art and architecture of the Classic Angkor civilization. The glory of Banteay Srei is the beauty of its sculpture and decoration. The pink sandstone used in its buildings makes this temple more beautiful.

Day 5: Kamphong Pluk Departure B Car
Today, we will make an adventure trip on the floating village to Kampong Pluk where you can see the flooded forest alongside an other –worldly village built on stilts. Kampong pluk village itself most of the houses are built on stilts of about 6m or 7m high. Kampong Phluk is a cluster of three villages of stilted houses built within the floodplain of the Tonle Sap about 16 km southeast of Siem Reap. The villages are primarily Khmer and have about 3000 inhabitants between them. Flooded mangrove forest surrounds the area and is home to a variety of wildlife including crab-eating macaques. During the dry season when the lake is low, the buildings in the villages seem to soar atop their 6-meter stilts exposed by the lack of water. At this time of year many of the villagers move out onto the lake and build temporary stilted houses. In the wet season when water level rises again, the villagers move back to their permanent houses on the floodplain, the stilts now hidden under the water. Kampong Phluk's economy is, as one might expect, based in fishing, primary in shrimp harvesting. After Lunch at local house in Kampong Pluk we will return to Siem Reap town.Transfer to Siem Reap airport for your departure flight. The end of services.
