Trip was amazing, our guide Nara had a lot of knowledge and was describing every important detail in each Temple. Convinient transport, good comunication before the trip. Well recommended!

I had the most fantastic time with Pip my guide and Mr Long my driver. I got super lucky and was the only one who had booked the tour that day so I had them all to myself. Pip told me so many things about the temples (religion architecture fauna flora renovation history). I feel so knowledgeable now. He kept everything very interesting. The temples were so beautiful. You should absolutely take this tour. The only small negative was that I was not a big fan of the restaurant we went to so i recomend to pack a take away from your favorite place in Siem Reap. Moreover, Pip is a fantastic photographer. He always offered to take my pic in the best spots so I never had to ask. He told me how to pose which is perfect since i am not the best at it. Now I have fantastic memories. I am sad not to have stayed longer in Siem Reap to take another tour to Banteay Srei or Bakong. There is so much more to discover in this part of Cambodia. I need to come back. Cambodians are the nicest people. <3

Full description

Depart Siem Reap and journey through the beautiful countryside to explore the ruins of Beng Mealea temple on the ancient royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay. 

Built out of sandstone as a Hindu temple in the 12th century, Beng Mealea has been partly reclaimed by nature where remains of the towers and courtyards can be seen in the thick brush of the dense jungle. 

Travel on to Koh Ker, abandoned to the forests north of Siem Reap, and see some of the linga-shrines reclaimed from nature. Marvel at the ruins of sacred sites such as Prasat Thom, Prasat Pram, and Prasat Chrap, and get fascinating insights into the history, culture, and religions of the time. Relax in a nearby restaurant, where you can try traditional curries, soups, and stir-fries at your own expense.

After your tour, be transported back to your hotel.
