    Prasat Beng Mealea

    The journey commences at 08:00, with a pick-up at your hotel. The drive from Siem Reap town to our first destination, Beng Mealea temple, takes approximately 70 minutes. Please note that temple tickets can be purchased on-site prior to entering the temple. Beng Mealea Temple, located in an ancient Angkor city, known as the Temple of Lotus Pond, is a significant structure from the Angkor Wat period, situated approximately 77 km from Siem Reap by road. Constructed in the early 12th century under the reign of King Suriyavaraman II during the Khmer Empire, this temple was originally built as a Hindu place of worship dedicated to the deity Vishnu. In a notable recognition of its cultural importance, Beng Mealea Temple was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on March 27, 2020.

    Koh Ker Temple

    Koh Ker is a significant yet remote archaeological site located in northern Cambodia, approximately 120 kilometers from Siem Reap and the renowned Angkor complex. This area, characterized by dense jungle and low population density, encompasses over 180 sanctuaries within a protected region spanning 81 square kilometers. However, only around two dozen of these monuments are accessible to tourists. The name “Koh Ker” is the contemporary designation for a notable city from the Khmer Empire period. Historical inscriptions refer to this city as Lingapura (meaning "city of lingams"), Chok Gargyar ("city of glance"), or as the "iron tree forest." Below are the temples that can be observed in Lingapura. 1- Prasat Dam Rei or Elephant Temple 2- Prasat Khtum 3- Prasat Chrap 4- Prasat Chamreh 5- Prasat Krachap 6- Prasat Angdong Kuk 7- Prasat Thnoeng 8- Prasat Balang Cheung 9- Prasat Srot 10- Prasat Koh Ker 11- Tomb of the White Elephant 12- Prasat Chen 13- Prasat Neang Khmau 14- Prasat Pram

    Preah Vihear Temple

    Preah Vihear Temple, an ancient Hindu temple constructed by the Khmer Empire, is situated atop a 525-meter cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains of Cambodia's Preah Vihear province. As a significant structure in the empire’s spiritual landscape, the temple was enhanced and altered by successive rulers, resulting in a blend of various architectural styles. It is distinct among Khmer temples due to its elongated north-south axis, deviating from the typical rectangular orientation toward the east. The temple lends its name to Cambodia's Preah Vihear province and is in proximity to the Khao Phra Wihan National Park in Thailand's Sisaket province, although access from Thailand is no longer permitted. The construction of the initial temple on this site commenced in the early 9th century. It was dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva, particularly in his forms as the mountain gods Sikharesvara and Bhadresvara.
