As evening approaches, beautiful pink sandstone at Banteay Srei provides another pleasant alternative to the hubbub of Angkor Wat, with it's own smaller scale hubbub. The distance to get there is worth the trip to see the pleasing variant in colors, the more intricate carvings, and to get Banteay Srei's more intimate feel away from the Angkor Wat crowds.

Evening sunset and pink sandstone combine to highlight the intricate carvings of Banteay Srei. Unfortunately, for some reason the temple closes as the best light of sunset approaches, making small payments to guards potentially necessary to stay as others are rushed out of the complex. The smaller and more detailed nature of this temple makes it a popular trip away from the principal Angkor complex.

The intricate carvings on this doorway typify one attraction for this temple some 30 km distant from the main Angkor Wat complex. Although almost as far as Phnom Kulen, better roadways in route make Banteay Srei an easier target.
