You will travel
through picturesque countryside and rural villages approximately 60km in the
north-east direction to the jungle clad temple of Beng Mealea. Once in a
complete state of disrepair resembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, Beng Mealea has
recently been made more accessible with the addition of a wooden walkway
throughout the structure assuring safe access and slight elevation, thus a
better view. This mid 12th century temple features mixture of
Buddhism and Hinduism attributes and is particularly mesmerising in the wet
season.
You will have a
lunch break locally and rest during the hottest part of the day.
You will
continue 50km north-east to the Koh Ker temple group – another ancient
capital of the Khmer Empire. Scattered over a large area, the most prominent
temple of this group by far is the pyramid-like Prasat Thom. A wooden
staircase has been repaired recently and it is now again possible to climb up
and enjoy the breathtaking view of the surrounding region. On a clear day one
can see the Kulen Mountain range in the south-west direction and Dangrek
Mountain in the north marking the border with Thailand.
