Day 01: Beng Mealea & Koh Ke Group
Today we will go to visit Jungle Temple Beng Mealea & Remote Area of Koh Ke Group.
Beng Mealea-Jungle Temple
You will travel through picturesque countryside and rural villages approximately 60km in the north-east direction to the jungle clad temple of Beng Mealea. Once in a complete state of disrepair resembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, Beng Mealea has recently been made more accessible with the addition of a wooden walkway throughout the structure assuring safe access and slight elevation, thus a better view. This mid 12th century temple features mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism attributes and is particularly mesmerising in the wet season.
Koh Ke Group
You will continue 50km north-east to the Koh Ker temple group – another ancient capital of the Khmer Empire. Scattered over a large area, the most prominent temple of this group by far is the pyramid-like Prasat Thom. A wooden staircase has been repaired recently and it is now again possible to climb up and enjoy the breathtaking view of the surrounding region. On a clear day one can see the Kulen Mountain range in the south-west direction and Dangrek Mountain in the north marking the border with Thailand.
Village walk Tour & Homestay Overnight included Dinner
When we arrive in village, we walk though village to see all activities and lives of community. Some of traditional houses have been changed into modern ones. Overnight in homestay in the village.

They are not so comfortable as hotels in the town but you will definitely be fresh and released with green environment and lifestyle.
