Itinerary
1
Siem Reap
Depart Siem Reap at 8AM for a scenic 65 km drive northeast to the mysterious Beng Mealea Temple. Built in the 12th century during King Suryavarman II’s reign, this sprawling jungle temple shares the grandeur and design of Angkor Wat but has remained largely unrestored.
2
Beng Mealea
Wander amid moss-covered stones, crumbling towers, and towering trees whose roots entwine the ancient ruins, creating an evocative “lost temple” atmosphere. Explore intricate carvings and hidden relics far from the typical tourist trail, offering unparalleled photo opportunities in serene surroundings.
1 hour
3
Koh Ker Temple
Continue another 60 km into Cambodia’s forested northeast to reach Koh Ker, the former Khmer capital from 928 to 944 AD. Explore highlights such as the iconic Prasat Thom, a seven-tiered pyramid rising above the jungle canopy, and the striking red-brick Prasat Krahom nearby. Journey onward to discover Prasat Pram, famous for its dramatic fig-tree roots enveloping the towers, and Prasat Neang Khmao, known for its dark sandstone towers weathered by centuries. Wrap up your exploration at the Linga Temple Group, a fascinating cluster dedicated to ancient Shiva worship. Many exquisite carvings from this region are now preserved at the National Museum in Phnom Penh. After a full day uncovering remote Khmer heritage, enjoy the relaxing drive back to Siem Reap and arrive at your hotel with unforgettable memories of this off-the-beaten-path adventure.
