Itinerary

We will start at 08:00 am. Our adventure begins with a scenic drive from Siem Reap, venturing deeper into the Cambodian countryside. As we travel, your guide will share insights into the rich history of the Khmer Empire and the significance of these hidden temples.

Our first stop is Koh Ker, a former capital of the Khmer Empire during the 10th century. Here, prepare to be awestruck by Prasat Thom, the magnificent seven-tiered pyramid temple. Climb the recently restored wooden walkways (proper attire required: knees and shoulders covered) and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding jungle. Marvel at the intricate carvings that adorn the temple walls, depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and daily life in the Khmer Empire. A Serene Picnic Lunch (Not Included): After exploring Koh Ker, we'll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch (not Included) amidst the serene natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Refuel and share your experiences with your fellow explorers.

The "Indiana Jones" Temple - Following lunch, we'll continue our journey to Beng Melea, a captivating temple complex often referred to as the "Indiana Jones" temple due to its atmospheric ruins partially overtaken by jungle vegetation. Unlike the more restored temples of Angkor Wat, Beng Melea offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the relentless power of nature reclaiming its space. Explore the labyrinthine corridors, admire the detailed carvings, and imagine the temple in its former glory.

Beng Melea provides a unique opportunity for photography enthusiasts. Capture the dramatic interplay of light and shadow on the ancient stones, or frame your shots to highlight the temple's harmonious blend with the surrounding jungle. Returning to Siem Reap: Following a captivating exploration of these hidden wonders, we'll return to Siem Reap, carrying.
