Discover northern Cambodia’s most extraordinary hidden treasures on a 2-day private journey from Siem Reap, combining two UNESCO World Heritage Sites with deep historical exploration.
Day 1: Uncover the remote 10th-century jungle capital of Koh Ker, officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023. Spanning 81 square kilometers (31 sq. mi.) with over 180 ancient sanctuaries hidden in lush forest, this quiet archaeological marvel offers a peaceful contrast to the busier temples of Angkor.
Day 2: Journey high into the Dângrêk Mountains to Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO-listed Hindu sanctuary perched dramatically atop a 525-meter cliff. Afterward, gain rare insights into Cambodia's modern history with a visit to Anlong Veng, exploring the historic sites and former residences of Khmer Rouge leaders.

1Prasat Beng Mealea
Your guide and driver will pick you up directly from your hotel lobby to begin the drive east toward Beng Mealea. Built primarily from sandstone as a Hindu temple, Beng Mealea remains largely unrestored—offering an Indiana Jones-style atmosphere where atmospheric jungle trees, giant roots, and moss-covered stones intertw with ancient towers and courtyards.

2Koh Ker Temple
Continue deep into northern Cambodia to explore Koh Ker, the ancient 10th-century capital of the Khmer Empire located about 120 km from Siem Reap. Nestled in a sparsely populated jungle region, this expansive complex contains over 180 sanctuaries, including the iconic 7-tier pyramid temple of Prasat Thom. Explore the most accessible monuments before relaxing on the return drive to Siem Reap.

3Preah Vihear Temple
Depart Siem Reap early for Preah Vihear Province to visit the magnificent Preah Vihear Temple. Built during the height of the Khmer Empire and situated atop a spectacular 525-meter cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, this sanctuary boasts outstanding architectural detail and breathtaking views across the plains. Learn about its long history, including the famous 1962 International Court of Justice ruling regarding its sovereignty.

Next, visit Anlong Veng district in Oddar Meanchey Province, which served as the final stronghold of the Khmer Rouge. Explore the lakeside residence of Ta Mok (known as "Brother Number 5") and visit the final resting place of Pol Pot ("Brother Number 1"), dictator and leader of Democratic Kampuchea from 1976 to 1979, who died here in April 1998. Gain valuable historical perspective on Cambodia's modern journey toward healing before returning to Siem Reap for hotel drop-off.
