Full description

Depart Siem Reap and journey through the beautiful countryside to explore the ruins of Beng Mealea temple on the ancient royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay.  Built out of sandstone as a Hindu temple in the 12th century, Beng Mealea has been partly reclaimed by nature where remains of the towers and courtyards can be seen in the thick brush of the dense jungle.  Travel on to Koh Ker, abandoned to the forests north of Siem Reap, and see some of the linga-shrines reclaimed from nature. Marvel at the ruins of sacred sites such as Prasat Thom, Prasat Pram, and Prasat Chrap, and get fascinating insights into the history, culture, and religions of the time. Relax in a nearby restaurant, where you can try traditional curries, soups, and stir-fries at your own expense. After your tour, be transported back to your hotel.

I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Sopheap Rath was so kind and knowledgeable about the temples. He even brought us to two small extra temples, the last of which is one of my favorite I have seen, with a tree growing wrapped around an entire structure. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore beyond Angkor Wat, particularly looking at original features and environmental reclamation. I’ll add that it is difficult to find a group tour of Koh Ker, most being rather expensive privates, so this was definitely worth it for me!

The tour gets you pretty far out of Siem Reap, total driving in each directions is about 2 hours on bumpy roads. Our driver brought us there and back safely. Our guide Pheap Touch was very well informed and told us a lot of interesting things about the temple. It was a pleasure with him. Additionally, he took some nice pictures. The highlight of the tour was for me the pyramid temple of Koh Ker, which we climbed (on separate and safe wooden stairs in the back of the temple). Thank you, Pheap Touch for a great experience.

Our tour today was fantastic! Our tour guide, Kim was extremely knowledgeable, explaining details of the temples but also happy to answer any questions we had about the temples and Cambodian culture/history. He made sure we visited the temples in an order that meant we were the only people there - a rare experience. Thank you for a wonderful day!
