Luxury Banteay Srei & Beng Mealea Private Tour & Photography

1. Prasat Beng Mealea
   2h · Admission ticket not included
   We'll start around 8 o'clock in the morning after breakfast and start the 65km or so drive out to Beng Mealea temple. This wonderful temple has been left unrestored which only adds to its beauty and intrigue. Many guests like coming here because of the thick surrounding jungles which keep you cool all year round. It's also not as busy as the temples at Angkor, so you don't feel overcrowded.
   
   After lunch, we'll then head to Kampong Khleang floating village on the Tonle Sap lake. Here you can see how the local villagers live on top of the water. The people here rely on fishing and farming as their main source of income.
   
   We'll also go to see a local bird sanctuary where you can see many types of birds. We'll also stop to see how sticky rice is created. This is a popular dessert in Cambodia which is eaten all year round.

   Koh Ker: The Hidden Gem of Cambodia’s Ancient Temples
   
   When thinking of Cambodia, most travelers immediately envision the majestic Angkor Wat. Yet, nestled deep within the jungle, approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Siem Reap, lies Koh Ker – an ancient temple complex that rivals the grandeur of Angkor, offering a unique experience for those willing to journey off the beaten path.
   
   The Historical Significance of Koh Ker
   Koh Ker served as the capital of the Khmer Empire for a brief period in the early 10th century under King Jayavarman IV. From 928 to 944 AD, Koh Ker flourished, with over 180 temples constructed across the vast complex. Unlike Angkor, Koh Ker's temples were abandoned soon after the capital was moved back to Angkor, which left them to be reclaimed by the dense Cambodian jungle for centuries.
   
   Due to its remote location, Koh Ker remained relatively inaccessible until recently, allowing it to preserve its raw, untouched atmosphere. For those who visit,
