Banteay Srei is a 10th century Hindu temple in the Angkor area, known for its small scale and very fine stone carving.
Banteay Srei is famous for pink sandstone and carving detail that many visitors rate among the finest in Cambodia. Banteay Srei Temple also stands out because it was not built by a king, which makes it unusual within Angkor.
Banteay Srei lies northeast of the main Angkor temple group, near Phnom Dei in Siem Reap Province. From central Siem Reap, the road trip is about 34 to 35 km. That makes Banteay Srei easy to add to a half day or full day route.
You can get to Banteay Srei by private car, taxi, tuk tuk, or guided tour. Private transport is the fastest and simplest option for most travelers. Tuk tuk rides take longer, though many guests like the countryside feel on the way out. If you want hotel pickup and a set route, ASEAN ANGKOR GUIDE can fold Banteay Srei into a sunrise or multi-temple day.
Banteay Srei was consecrated on 22 April 967 CE.
Yes, Banteay Srei is worth visiting if you care about carving detail, color, and a calmer temple stop. You do not need a full day on site to enjoy it, which makes it easy to fit into a smart Siem Reap plan. The ride out adds a nice break from the heavier traffic near the main Angkor circuit. Banteay Srei Temple also works very well with Beng Mealea or sunrise routes, so your day feels fuller without feeling messy. For many guests, it becomes the site they remember for detail, not size.
The best time to visit Banteay Srei is early morning or late afternoon, with dry season months from November to March giving the easiest conditions. Early light shows the sandstone color well and helps you move through the temple with less crowd pressure.
