Beng Mealea, Countryside and Bakong temple Full-Day Private Tour

Visit the most interesting temple outside the Angkor areas, and drive through scenic rural villages to Beng Mealea temple. Enjoy the beautiful landscape of the countryside. Visit a Cambodian village market and sticky rice. The impressive Bakong temple.

Today we visit the most interesting temple outside the Angkor area. Departing your hotel at 8.00 am, you begin with 1 hour and 20 minutes drive through scenic rural villages to Beng Mealea (Boeng Mealea) temple. On the way, you will stop some places for photos or to taste seasoning fruit and bamboo sticky rice. En route, we stop at Dom Deak town for a wander through a typical Cambodian village market. Mid-morning we arrive at King Suryavarman II’s 11th Beng Mealea temple – a prototype for the more famous Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea Temple stands almost forgotten in a jungle and getting to the site is quite an adventure in itself. It was isolated during Cambodia’s civil war. It is the largest temple outside the main Angkor complex, and in places, it is remarkably intact, but in other places utterly destroyed; tree roots envelop many of the temple walls and doorways. The atmosphere here is eerie but welcome contrast to the more visited temples closer to Angkor Wat. Beng Mealea shares many characteristics with Angkor Wat, but on a smaller scale. It has three encircling galleries, the same four gates and entrances, and a pair of interior libraries. It differs from Angkor Wat in having only one central tower instead of the famous five towers of Angkor Wat. On the way back, we will stop to visit the impressive Bakong temple (one of the key Roulos temples). In the late afternoon return to town after a memorable day’s exploration. This is an amazing and mixed-activity trip “All in One Journey” and will keep you entertained, and provide you with new experiences, and a great insight into the culture and history of Cambodia. This is a private tour “everything is flexible to your needs”.
