Des milliers d’habitants y vivent, dont certains sont des tribus montagnardes. C’était un bastion de l’armée khmère rouge avant 1992. La plupart des touristes apprécient la gigantesque statue de Bouddha au sommet du rocher. Des moines et prêtres y pratiquent également leur religion. Les amateurs d’aventure apprécieront une randonnée pédestre dans la jungle pour explorer les environs et profiter des magnifiques paysages montagneux et des sites historiques. Après-midi : Visite et baignade dans les cascades. Retour à votre hôtel à Siem Reap. Veuillez noter : le voyage vers la grotte aux chauves-souris et le sanctuaire des éléphants vous emmène en moto, une moto coûte 15 $.

During your journey to Siem Reap, you can choose from several optional excursions, including the enchanting Banteay Srei temple, the informative Cambodian Landmine Museum, and the tranquil Butterfly Garden. Beyond Phnom Kulen and the Sacred River of a Thousand Lingas, there are additional sites to explore. If you would like to visit more temples, we can combine Prasat Pre Rup and Banteay Samre into your itinerary. Admission to these sites can be covered by the Angkor pass (available as one-day or three-day tickets). Banteay Srei—carved from delicate pink sandstone—is widely regarded as the jewel of Khmer art and is not to be missed.

Beng Mealea is a captivating temple located about 66 kilometers east of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Built in the early 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II, this sprawling temple complex is a stunning example of classical Khmer architecture, yet it remains largely overgrown and in a state of natural decay, which adds to its mystical charm. Unlike the more restored Angkor Wat, Beng Mealea is often less crowded, allowing visitors to explore its crumbling walls, intricate carvings, and lush jungle surroundings at a leisurely pace. The temple’s design features a series of galleries, courtyards, and towers, all intertwined with trees and vines, creating a breathtaking fusion of man-made and natural beauty. Beng Mealea offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Khmer Empire while inviting adventurers to discover its hidden treasures amidst the ruins.
