• Koh Ker Temple - Koh Ker is a 10th-century temple complex nestled in the northern Cambodian jungle. Once the capital of the Khmer Empire, this site is now remote and densely forested. The main attraction, Koh Ker Temple, is a stepped 7-tiered pyramid. The large rectangular reservoir, Rahal Baray, provided water to the complex. Prasat Krahom, meaning “red temple,” is renowned for its sandstone carvings, while Prasat Pram is enveloped by strangler figs. Visitors can explore more temples, as TripAdvisor may not list all their locations. These temples include Prasat Pram, Prasat Neang Khmau, Prasat Chrap, Prasat Linga, Prasat Chen, Prasat Balang, Prasat Khna, Prasat Damrei, Prasat Chamres, Prasat Banteay Pichen, Prasat Krachap, Prasat Angdong Kuk, Prasat Thneng, Prasat Trapang, Prasat Dar Tong, Prasat Kok Sokum, Prasat Chhin, Prasat Lohoung, Prasat Kraham, Prasat Dei Chnang, and Prasat Thom, also known as the Khmer Pyramid Temple.
• Prasat Pram - The southernmost sanctuary of this group is Prasat Pram, located on the west side of the road. A short path, approximately 300 meters (328 yards) long, leads to the monument. It features five towers or prasats (pram = five). Three brick towers are aligned on the same platform, facing east, with the central tower slightly taller than the others. Each prasat once housed a lingam, which, along with the intricately carved lintels, has been looted. Two prasats, facing west, stand in front of the platform. One is constructed of brick and features diamond-shaped holes in the upper section, indicating its use as a fire sanctuary, as fire cults were significant during the Khmer kings’ era.
• Prasat Neang Khmao - Prasat Neang Khmao is a large square temple made of laterite, set atop a sandstone base and enclosed by a laterite wall. It boasts several false levels that decrease in size towards the top, with accent pieces and “mini prasat” decorative elements at each corner. The sandstone base still retains traces of exquisite decorative carvings. It is one of the best-preserved temples in the area.
• Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Banteay Pichean is a seldom-visited ancient temple within the Koh Ker temple complex in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia. It dates back to the 10th century, during the reign of King Jayavarman IV.
• Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Chrap is a 10th-century Khmer temple complex in Koh Ker, Cambodia, featuring three large, partially ruined laterite towers in a row within a laterite enclosure wall. It also includes two smaller brick structures, possibly libraries or earlier shrines, located opposite the main towers.
• Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Linga is a temple that houses a massive linga, a symbolic pillar representing the Hindu god Shiva. These temples, often found at sites like Koh Ker, feature a large, monolithic stone linga (often 2 meters high) on a yoni pedestal (the female symbol). Many of these temples, likely unfinished or missing perishable roofs, were designed so that rainwater could flow over the linga, collecting in a ceremonial tank below.
