- Koh Ker Temple - This morning, depart your hotel at 8:00am and embark on a two-and-a-half-hour drive through the picturesque rural landscapes of Cambodia to reach Koh Ker, a 10th-century temple complex nestled in the northern Cambodian jungle. Once the capital of the Khmer Empire, this remote and heavily forested site offers stunning views after an adventurous climb. Next, visit The Prasat Krahom, or “red temple,” renowned for its sandstone carvings, and Prasat Pram, which is enveloped by strangler figs.
- Beng Mealea - After enjoying lunch at your own expense and taking a short rest, take a brief drive to Boeng Mealea. This temple, almost forgotten in the jungle, offers an adventurous journey to reach it. Isolated during Cambodia’s civil war and under Khmer Rouge control for decades, Boeng Mealea has been de-mined and is now safe for visitors. It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex, with some areas remarkably intact and others in ruins, with tree roots enveloping many walls and doorways. The eerie atmosphere here provides a stark but welcome contrast to the more frequented temples near Angkor Wat. Boeng Mealea shares many features with Angkor Wat, including three encircling galleries, four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries, but differs with only one central tower instead of Angkor Wat’s famous five towers.
