Overview

Step back in time and discover the mystical Beng Mealea and Koh Ker, two ancient Khmer temples that showcase the deep history and grandeur of Cambodia's ancient civilization. Starting with Beng Mealea, a remarkable 12th-century Hindu temple, visitors are immersed in a world where nature has intertwined with history. The temple, partially swallowed by the jungle, reveals beautiful sandstone towers, collapsed galleries, and courtyards still echoing with whispers of the past. As you explore, you will gain unique insights from your expert guide, who will unravel the rich history of the site, providing a deeper understanding of its cultural and spiritual significance.

Next, you will journey to Koh Ker, a once-grand city of the Khmer Empire, where time seems to have stood still. Here, you can admire the grandeur of Prasat Thom, a seven-tiered pyramid that once dominated the city’s skyline, alongside other sacred temples like Prasat Pram and Prasat Chrap. These temples, largely unscathed by time, stand as silent witnesses to Cambodia’s storied past. The beautiful surrounding forest provides an idyllic setting to explore the temples at your own pace, with opportunities for photo stops and quiet contemplation. A traditional Cambodian lunch offers a moment to relax and savor the flavors of the region before continuing the journey. Finally, you will be transferred back to Siem Reap, leaving with unforgettable memories of these ancient wonders.
