RIVER OF THOUSAND LINGAS (KBAL SPEAN)

The Apsara authorities in charge of the conservation and protection of the Angkor Wat complex have successfully managed to take control of this beautiful site. The impressive and well-preserved Hindu sculptures in the riverbed and on the river banks are now accessible with the normal Visit Angkor Pass and no more "entry fees" are levied by the former "guards". These are now official Apsara conservation officers.

A visit to this site can be combined with a visit to the holy mountain, Phnom Kulen (not yet under Apsara management) and Banteay Srei for a full day tour with packed lunch.

Access is still difficult due to the rainy season but it will become a standard part of our Angkor tours for the upcoming high season. At the moment the site is closed by the Apsara authorities from 1-20 September to conduct final mine clearing works and to build a new parking area.
