  • Beng Mealea, Cambodia
    On this tour, we travel through the thriving countryside, past rice paddy fields and local villages to Beng Mealea temple. Beng Mealea - the “Lotus Pond” Temple from the early 11th Century - was built by Suryavarman II as a Hindu Temple. One of the few accessible temples, hidden in a maze of the jungle - if there is one temple to explore resplendent with jungle engulfing it, it is Beng Mealea. Clambering over large sandstone blocks to reach the inner sanctuary and eerie worship corridor is an exploration to remember. Architecturally, Beng Mealea is known for its innovative, in its time, construction of hallways, it was a large temple with wide galleries foreshadowing Angkor Wat. A picnic lunch will be arranged during the tour.

  • Koh Ker Temple, Cambodia
    Continue with a visit of Koh Ker Temple which represents the remnants of the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928 AD – 944 AD, a very unique period in the Age of Angkor. The premier, dilapidated bastion of the complex is Prasat Thom, an imposing 7-tiered pyramid and temple complex. It was home to Jayavarman IV, the maternal uncle of the two previous kings and a great feudal landholder, who ascended the throne in 928. In only a few years, Jayavarman IV built many colossal sanctuaries dedicated to Shiva, ruling over large numbers of people and in considerable splendour for twenty years until succeeded by his son Harshavarman I. We head back to Siem Reap while we pass remote villages and the dense, untouched jungle behind us. We can assure you that you will look back to this day as an adventurous one.

These 2 places are out of the city of Siem Reap and as a result, not many tourists visit them. Furthermore, they also take at least 1.5-2 hours to travel and visiting these places would mean a considerable investment of your time in Siem Reap. However, I can assure the ones who are considering these 2 places that they are worth the visit. They are much smaller than the Angkor National Park complex but no less amazing. I would say intimidating, in fact, as the jungle really grows around the temple complexes and particularly in Beng Mealea, if not for the wooden platforms in place, we would not have been able to explore the insides of the temple area. I strongly urge those who want to get away from the city of Siem Reap, away from the bustle of the huge throngs of tourists to visit these 2 places. They may not be as big, as grand or even as well-excavated than the other temples in Angkor, but visiting Koh Ker and Beng Mealea gives you an idea of how hidden these places were when they were first discovered. Jungles all around, trees obscuring your views and the sound of animals doing their own business, you are guaranteed a wonderful Indiana Jones experience. Do visit them, you'll thank me later.
