PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAY BANTEAY CHHMAR – BATTAMBANG
 

This photography trip 4D/3N or 3D/2N will take you away from the hustle and bustle of Siem Reap to explore Cambodia out of the beaten path. On the program, Banteay Chhmar temple, an enigmatic 12th century large monastic temple complex with several face towers and beautiful carved bas-relief. Away from the crowd of Angkor, this massive temple received only 2,200 visitors in 2017.

We will visit the lush countryside of Battambang with its hilly tops and artificial lakes. You will also have the chance to visit monasteries full of history in natural caves. We will visit also some less known pre-angkorian temples near Battambang. A photowalk in the streets of the city center will give you plenty of chances to capture the fading colonial architectures and take pictures of locals going on with their day.

 

This is a private photo tour so schedule will be adjusted according to your arrival and departure times. The content also can be modified to some extent according to your photography interests so we can spend more or less time in one location for example. As we will use a private transport for the duration of this trip, it is easy to make unscheduled stops along the way.
