DAY 1: Siem Reap - Beng Mealea - Koh Ker
We journey northeast from Siem Reap to the massive jungle temple of Beng
Mealea, the size and scale of Angkor Wat but utterly swallowed by the
jungle. We clamber about this titanic of temples that feels just like it
would have when discovered by the first explorers. We continue to Koh Ker,
a 10th century capital abandoned in the remote north of Cambodia for more
than a thousand years. Our team set up camp for us, while we enjoy a visit
to the pyramid temple of Prasat Thom and take in the sunset. Our overnight camp is right outside the walls of the temple.
DAY 2: Koh Ker - Siem Reap
After breakfast, we continue to explore the many temples at this incredible
site, including the beautiful Prasat Krahom, covered by jungle, and some of
the smaller structures such as Prasat Neang Khmau. We return to Siem Reap
after lunch.
