Day Trip to Bengmelea and Koh Ker Vegetation and Jungle temples Group.
Koh Ker was the capital of the Khmer Empire for a very brief period from the elaborate Rolex Datejust copy ca year 928 to 944 AD. In short of time; some very spectacular buildings and immense sculptures were constructed. hid the jungle for nearly a millennium and mostly un-restored; this great archaeological site has been rarely visited until very recently. Koh Ker is a comparatively easy drive but involves an early start to urge an honest full day sightseeing and returning to Siem Reap within the same day. The site is 130 km north of Siem Reap. there are small restaurants provide basic food at the doorway to the temple complex near Prasat Thom.
The ancient Khmer city is in a distant jungle location with up to a hundred prominent Breitling colt replica ca ruin temples including a huge stepped pyramid; the largest in the region. More ancient temples are being found within the jungle; so there's a real sense of discovery here.
Many of the temples were inbuilt brick employing a mortar made up of tree sap. It is quite remarkable how well they have stood up to the test of time, the entry fee is $10 payable at the booth near the entrance to Beng Mealea temple 60 km to the southwest Bengmelea temple here is no place like Beng Mealea to make that dream come true! This old temple site has the right setup for a 1 day Angkor adventure. One day that you simply won't forget anytime soon. The temple is located some 75km from Siem Reap, or a two-hour drive on a good road. It is not generally documented to the tourist because until a while ago, since the road to Beng Mealea was in unfitness.
All this suggests that there are almost no visitors at Beng Mealea! Although it was discovered in 1993, even today, this place is still lying low, waiting for visitors to discover it. The Beng Mealea is located in the middle of the jungle. Trees have been grown around the temple and also on the temple walls themselves. In contrast to Angkor Wat where you'll notice how hot it's to steer outside the temple, in Beng Mealea, it's cool and shady.
The large and tall trees surrounding makes it feel secluded and tranquil. Shady entrance lane to the temple. What a forgotten temple this is. To reach the most temple, we would have liked to steer about 10 minutes from the drop off point. Pools along the doorway lane, a bit like Angkor Wat. After a short nice walk, we saw the main building and the strong Panerai Luminor due to the fake outer walls of Beng Mealea.
At this point, Beng Mealea looked just like an old vegetation temple, not adventurous enough.
