Why travel so far to see Koh Ker?

The mountains of Dangrek, Kulen, and Tbeng may be seen in the background of the jungle setting of Koh Ker.
Koh Ker is nearly as huge as the Angkor complex, spanning 81 square kilometers over its entirety; yet, due to its more distant location, it has suffered greater damage and pillage over the course of its history.

If you go at the right time of year, you might find the ruins hidden in the foliage and thick vegetation, but at other times of the year they might be completely visible amongst the bare trees.
– Koh Ker is one of the temple locations from the Angkor period that has received the least amount of research.
– Since Koh Ker has just been half excavated, there is a good chance that you will discover something that has been hidden.
– Since much of the information researchers had gathered about the place during the Khmer Rouge was destroyed, the location is essentially indecipherable.

Koh Ker incredible facts – 4 reasons to go now!

– Archaeological Site Koh Ker is located in northern Cambodia and is approximately 75 miles from the ancient city of Angkor and the city of Siem Reap.
– In this jungle-covered area, there are only a few people.
– In an 81-square-kilometer protected region, researchers discovered almost 180 sanctuaries.
– Tourists can only see approximately a dozen of the many sanctuaries concealed in the forest because the entire area hasn’t been completely demined.

Tour Plan

First Trip The tour experience

You’ll start out with the 130-kilometer drive through the scenic countryside from Siem Reap to the remote site of the Koh Ker temple group. The temple complex at Koh Kor, located to the north-east of Siem Reap, represents the remnants of the capital of the Khmer empire from 928-944 A.D.

Second Trip The tour experience

Visit Beng Mealea temple next, built at the end of 11th century. This sprawling jungle temple covers an area of more than a square kilometer, and is now largely overrun by vegetation.

Constructed in a distinctly Angkor Wat style by the same king, Beng Melea temple may have served as a prototype for Angkor Wat. Although there are some lintel carvings, there are no bas-reliefs and carvings are relatively scarce.

When the temple was in active use, its walls may have been covered, painted, or adorned with frescoes. In it time, Beng Melea was at the crossroads of several major routes that ran to Angkor, Koh Ker, and Preah Vihear.
