Overview

Beng Mealea is an ancient temple 66 kilometers from Siem Reap, hidden in nature. Unlike Angkor Wat, which has been restored, this temple remains untouched and offers a peaceful exploration. The path to the temple is surrounded by dense forest, providing a cool atmosphere even during the hottest days. Here, you can explore the temple in peaceful isolation away from the crowds. It’s also a fantastic spot for photographers, offering breathtaking views and unique shots.

One of the main advantages of Beng Mealea is its low number of visitors. This creates a calm and serene environment for exploration. You can walk around and closely examine the intricate carvings on the temple’s stone walls. For families with children, the large open grounds provide a safe space where children can roam freely while you enjoy a relaxed visit. It’s the perfect destination for those who seek a quieter, more peaceful experience.

The next stop on your journey is Koh Ker, the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire. Famous for its pyramid-style temples, Koh Ker offers an impressive view of Khmer architecture. The temples here are less visited, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of these historical structures in relative solitude. Learn about the ancient kings who ruled from this powerful site and gain insight into the history of Cambodia through the expert commentary of your guide.

As you move from Beng Mealea to Koh Ker, the tranquil countryside becomes the backdrop for your adventure. You will cycle or drive through lush farmland, passing traditional Cambodian villages along the way. The serenity of the environment allows you to connect with nature while learning about the local way of life. This scenic route adds a layer of cultural immersion to the historical journey, making it a unique experience.

Your tour also includes relaxing moments, as you can rest in the open grounds of the temples. These large spaces are perfect for unwinding and taking in the surroundings. Whether you are traveling alone or with family, the peaceful atmosphere makes it easy to feel connected with the history of the site. After exploring, you can reflect on your visit and enjoy the serenity before heading back to Siem Reap.
