Preah Vihear, Koh Ker & Beng Mealea Tour
The tour has two options, so it is fit to several types of visitors. Our professional tour guide can explain what the guest are about to see, the history, culture and religious of Cambodian in the past and today. We start our tour by going to Preah Vihear temple, situated on a 525-metre cliff of Dangrek Mountain. After lunch, we visit Koh Ker temple group, especially climb up the 36-metre high of a seven‑tiered pyramid temple, Prasat Thom or Prasat Prang. After Koh Ker, we come back to Siem Reap to visit Beng Mealea which is considered as the sister of Angkor Wat. Most part of the temple is not yet restored. There are stone blocks lying on the ground which make it a mysterious and quite temple of Angkor.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Preah Vihear Temple, Cambodia
Discover and explore the contentious Preah Vihear Temple complex. Preah Vihear is an ancient Hindu temple built during the period of the Khmer Empire, that is situated atop a 525-metre cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains.
Preah Vihear is at the border with Thailand and has been the subject of more than one ownership dispute.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Koh Ker Temple, RN64 - 2km south KOH KER site entrance and Srayang 100 Km North of Siem Reap Cambodia
Then after a brief stop at one of the restaurants for a traditional Cambodian curry, soups or stir-fries, continue to distant Koh Ker.
Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapura (city of lingams). The most impressive structure in the complex is Prasat Thom/Prang, a double sanctuary which follows a linear plan and not a concentric one like most of the temples of the Khmer kings. Unparalleled is the 36-metre high seven‑tiered pyramid, which most probably served as state temple.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Beng Mealea, 40 km east of Angkor Wat Cambodia
Then visit Beng Mealea, identical to Angkor Wat, but smaller in size. Beng Mealea nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empires larger temples. It was the center of a town, surrounded by a moat 1025m by 875m large and 45m wide.
Duration: 3 hours
