The tour experience
Start off your day off by a 60km comfortable ride in one of our A/C cars up to the the wild and overgrown Beng Mealea temple. Next up, Koh Ker Temple is abandoned to the forests of the north of Siem Reap, ancient capital of the Angkorian empire (from AD 928 to AD 944).
You’ll be hungry after that long drive, so settle into one of the restaurants nearby, and dig into some traditional Cambodian curries, soups and stir-fries.

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.
