    2. Koh Ker Temple

      Koh Ker Group located in the province of Preah Vihear, it was briefly the capital of the Khmer empire between 928 and 944 under king Jayavarman IV and his son Hasavaraman II. After the Khmer empire had been established in the Angkor area (Roluos), Jayavarman IV moved the capital in 928 almost 100km northeast to Koh Ker. Here a vast number of temples were built under his reign, until his successor returned to the Angkor area about twenty years later. The Koh Ker site is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30 meter tall temple mountain raising high above the plain and the surrounding forest. Great views await the visitor at the end of an adventurous climb. Garuda, carved into the stone blocks, still guard the very top, although they are partially covered now. Across the site of Koh Ker there are many prasat or tower sanctuaries. A couple still feature an enormous linga on a yoni that provides space for several people. The outlet for the water that was sanctified by running it over the Linga can be seen in the outside wall of one of them. In other cases, three prasat stand next to each other, dedicated to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. Most of them are surrounded by libraries and enclosures, many also had moats. At that time, the roofs were still made of wood. Today, only the holes for the beams remain in the stone structures.

    3. Prasat Beng Mealea

      Beng Mealea Temple (its name means "lotus pond") located at the foot of Kulen Mountain. It was built as Hinduist temple, but there are some carvings depicting Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site. Built in the 12th Century, many scholars believe it was the model for Angkor Wat. It is just as wonderful of a temple but it is still largely lost in the jungle.

    Highly recommended

    Me and my husband were so lucky to have a passionate guide. Mr.Thy is very funny and we enjoyed the good time together! Very professional, Highly recommended. Thank you very much for your smile and your sharing.This tour allows you to visit 3 remote temples within 1 day, very good for money too. We started 7:30am and came back around 7pm. We had a coffee break around 10am, and a lunch after Preah Vehier visit around 12:30. Thyさん(ティさん)は英語ガイドさんで、日本語は話せませんが、ガイドになる前には日本人上司のもとでお仕事されていたことがあるらしく、対応が丁寧で安心してついていけます。お寺巡り好きがこうじて夢だったガイドになったそうです。おすすめです。

    Response from the operator: Dear Tom230, Thanks you for taking our Siem Reap Tour Guide ( VIP Private Sunrise Tour, Angkor Wat, Bayon & Ta Prohm ) and spreading your true words after your trip with our tour guide, Kong Thy & Mr. Dara( Car driver). We can't describe how happy we are to win over your satisfaction. We really appreciate that. Can't wait to serve you again near the future and safe flight back to Australia. Best regards, Mr. Prad Pitt Customer Service Manager

    Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

    How much does Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

    Is Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Koh Ker temple,Prah Vihear & Koh Ker & Beng Mealea from Siem Reap start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
