• Preah Vihear Temple - After gathering at the hotel, the group will embark on a journey to Preah Vihear, which takes approximately 3 hours from Siem Reap city. During the trip, a licensed tour guide will share fascinating insights into local life, plantations, and Cambodian history.

Preah Vihear is beautifully situated along the Cambodia-Thailand border and was designated a World Heritage site in 2008. This designation was part of a territorial dispute between the Cambodian and Thai armies, which began in 2008 and concluded in 2011 when Cambodia prevailed at the International Court of Justice.

The temple was constructed over 300 years by three kings: Yasovarman I (889-910) in 893, Suryavarman I (1002-1049), and finally completed by King Suryavarman II (1113-1150), who is also known for building Angkor Wat. It is perched atop the Dangrek Mountains at an elevation of 550 meters.

The temple’s primary purpose is as a mountain temple, symbolizing the sacred mountain “Meru,” the abode of all Hindu gods.

• Koh Ker Temple - Following the visit to Preah Vihear, the tour will proceed to Koh Ker, which is about a 2-hour drive. Along the way, travelers will observe various local plantations, including tapioca, mango, pepper, and banana.

Koh Ker served as an ancient Khmer capital city from 921 to 944 under King Jayavarman IV (921-942) and his son Harshavarman II (942-944). Known as the Cambodian Pyramid temple, it stands 36 meters tall and features an impressive shrine with two-meter-high Lingas at the top. The guide will provide further details about these temples during the visit. Visitors can climb to the top of the temple for a breathtaking view and refreshing air. After exploring Koh Ker, the tour will continue to Prasat Pram, a group of five tower temples notable for the trees growing atop them. Visiting Koh Ker offers a serene, off-the-beaten-path experience.

• Beng Mealea - The final destination after Koh Ker is Beng Mealea, which is about an hour’s drive away.

Beng Mealea was originally constructed as a Hindu temple, though some carvings display Buddhist motifs. Built primarily from sandstone, the temple remains largely unrestored, with trees and dense vegetation flourishing among its towers and courtyards, and many stones lying in large heaps. Although it was once difficult to access, a newly constructed road to the Koh Ker temple complex now passes Beng Mealea, attracting more visitors. It is located 77 km from Siem Reap by road.

The temple’s history is largely unknown, but its architectural style, identical to Angkor Wat, suggests it was built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century.
