Full Day Excursions Siem Reap
Beang Mealea - Koh Ker
Itinerary
Morning, drive to the remote Beang Mealea temple through
the typical Khmer countryside (80Kms from Siem Reap). Explore
the long abandoned ruins of Beang Mealea (11th century), still
strangled by the overgrown jungle.
Lunch box will be provided at the site.
A further 1-hour drive brings you to Koh Ker, situated
in the northeast of Siem Reap. Discover the long abandoned
temples in the forests of northern Cambodia. Also known as
Chok Gargyar, it served as the capital of Jayavarman IV (reigned
928-42). His son and successor Harshavarman I moved the capital
back to Angkor in 944.
There are a remarkable number of religious buildings in the
Koh Ker region, considering the short space of time that it
was the capital of the empire. There are more than 30 major
structures and experts believe there may have been as many
as 100 minor sacred buildings in the region.
It was also a
prolific period for gigantic sculpture and several of the
most impressive pieces in the National Museum in Phnom Penh
come from Koh Ker, including a huge garuda (half-man, half-bird
creature). Return to Siem Reap.
