Leave the busier Angkor circuit behind on this half day tour by military jeep to two temples chosen for their craftsmanship and quiet setting. Banteay Srei, 25 kilometres north of Angkor, was completed in 967 and dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Built not by a king but by a royal courtier, it is prized for its pink sandstone carvings, widely considered among the finest and best-preserved in Khmer art. On the way, the open-air jeep passes local villages and rural scenery rarely seen from a standard tour vehicle. On the return leg, stop at Ta Nei, a Buddhist temple closed to visitors until 2010 and still one of the least-visited sites in the Angkor region. Surrounded by large trees and largely unrestored, it offers a rare chance to explore in near-solitude. An unhurried half day for travellers who want to see Angkor's quieter side.

What you'll see and do
Banteay Srei
Pick up from your hotel in Siem Reap by a military jeep (max 3 per jeep, no air-conditioning) and head off in the direction of Banteay Srei, 25 km outside of Siem Reap. Together with a dedicated driver, you will pass local villages and the rural landscape; the drive may include some stops for images of the local, authentic side of Cambodia without any western influences. It appears that the temple was designed to leave no space undecorated, and the intricate carvings in pink sandstone are unique and what some consider being the best carving of all and in a great state of preservation. The temple was built in the second half of the 10th century and dedicated to Shiva. While some of the temples are impressive because of their sheer size, Banteay Srei stands alone in the quality of its construction and decoration. Built in 967 and dedicated to Brahma, the temple is located twenty-five kilometres North of Angkor Wat and bears the translated ancient Khmer name of “The Citadel of the Women”

Ta Nei Temple
On our way back to Siem Reap we will make a pit stop at the Ta Nei Buddhist temple. The compounds of the temple have been closed off for visitors until 2010, and it remains one of the least visited complexes within the greater Angkor region. Archaeological research points in the direction that this temple was initially set up as a medical centre for the rulers of Angkor. Today with large trees surrounding the in decay ruins of the Ta Nei temple, it may well be that you are one of the very few visitors walking around its stone compound without a trace of renovation work. Its isolation away from the main roads will turn this half-day tour to more unique, out-of-the-ordinary experiences around Angkor. You will head back to your Siem Reap hotel at around noon.

Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Banteay Srei and Ta Nei Temple Jeep Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
