On a tour starting from Siem Reap, travel back in time and explore the mystery temples of Koh Ker and Beng Mealea. Learn more about Cambodia's former royal capital under the Khmer Empire.
Depart Siem Reap for a scenic drive through the countryside to the remains of Beng Mealea temple on the ancient royal roadway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay.
Beng Mealea, a Hindu temple built of sandstone in the 12th century, has been partially reclaimed by nature, with vestiges of the towers and courtyards visible in the dense jungle's thick undergrowth.
Continue on to Koh Ker, which has been abandoned in the jungles north of Siem Reap, to witness some of the linga-shrines that nature has reclaimed. Admire the ruins of sacred monuments like Prasat Thom, Prasat Pram, and Prasat Chrap, and gain valuable insights into the time's history, culture, and faiths. Relax in a nearby restaurant and sample some local cuisine.
