Koh Ker & Beng Mealea Temple Privat rundvisning fra Siem Reap

This was a great experience, with Beng Mealea turning out to be an unexpected jam with an incredible combination of nature and architechture. Our guide, Sopal was very kind and patient (we travelled with a 2-year-old, so we needed that). I absolutely recommend this for families.

Sophal was very helpful and patient, we really enjoyed the tour!

Koh Ker, especially the pyramid and Beng Mealea are very worth seeing and not crowded. Worth a visit, the tour consisted of only one rider, who did his thing very well. The price is a little high.

MAN'S mighty works are as nothing to the power of Nature, something we found out on a Siem Reap Shuttle tour to the temples of Beng Mealea and Koh Ker. Unlike restored sites such as Angkor Wat, Beng Mealea is largely unrestored with trees and undergrowth thriving on the site where fallen stones lie in great heaps. In many ways I found this sight to be more evocative than many temple sites because it was as if Beng Mealea had just fallen asleep. I clambered about, picking my way from one tumbled pile of stones to another, many with intricate carvings on them softened by time and moss. It was utterly fascinating because I could imagine what the whole place must have been like in its prime. Kok Ker was different with some restoration going on together with more evidence of how invasive the jungle had been with tree roots embracing several stone structures. The majestic pyramid temple appeared to offer a daunting climb up a huge stone staircase with no hand rails, but authorities had created a wooden staircase round to one side so visitors could climb to the top in relative safety to enjoy its stunning views. It was a great day out and definitely worth taking this opportunity to get out right away from Siem Reap to see archaeological sites where Nature still largely rules.

The driver was kind and his drive was safe and comfortable. The tour was really satisfying. You must apply for this tour if you have enough time to travel.

My driver, with 20 minutes before the agreed time on time picked me up at just after 05:00. Large spacious vehicle in good condition and he equipped with good English always ready to answer any questions competently. Nevertheless, I am also interested in world events and my view. The journey to the Preah Vihear temple on the border with Thailand took about 4 hours. Afterwards, you get on a motorbike ($5) or car ($25 can be shared with fellow travelers or others) and are taken to the temple top. The whole facility is huge and very impressive. It took me about 1.5 hours to get to and from the ticket station. Afterwards we will go to the temple complex Koh Ker for 2 hours. This is a huge complex with 8-10 temples of which the large phyramid-like temple is the most impressive. It is very reminiscent of a Mayan temple with its construction. Definitely climb (170 steps) and enjoy the view. Return to Siem Reap in 2:00 hrs with arrival at about 17:00 hrs. A long and “difficult day, but worthwhile as a contrast program to the tourists flocking in and around Angkor Wat. Especially because I had a great conversation with my driver about a lot of topics that enriched me off the culture.

The guide(Mr.Leap) and driver(Mr.pheap) are so kind. We so enjoyed this tour. The views are amazing.

Had a fabulous day out of Siem Reap with Kimy our tour guide who was very informative and also very funny. Preah Vihear and Pol Pot house as well as the big story are a must see. We stopped to watch a lady making palm sugar in a village on the way back to the city which was also a great experience. Would definitely recommend this trip.
