Kbal Spean is a spectacularly carved riverbed, located deep in the jungle to the northeast of Angkor. Kbal Spean is often called the place of the thousand lingas. It is about a 45 minute uphill walk from the car park to where the carvings are found. The walk is up a rough path so you will need to be reasonably fit to make the climb. The path eventually reaches the waterfall where you will see the river carvings in the pool below. Kbal Spean is 18km beyond the temple of Banteay Srey and around 50km from Siem Reap on a rough dirt road in the dry season, but in the wet season it can be near impossible to get there on some days. Kbal Spean is best arranged on a day tour including Banteay Srey or possibly Beng Mealea and the cost for the day trip to Kbal Spean only should cost around US$50 in a taxi, but more if you include Beng Mealea. Entrance to the temple is with your normal Angkor Temple pass and you must enter before 3pm. Kbal Spean can also be visited in a Tuk Tuk from around US$30 to US$35.
