Excursion to Phnom Kulen and Beng Mealea in Siem Reap

A full-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap, Phnom Kulen National Park, Kulen waterfall and Wat Preah Ang Thom. There are 5 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Guide in Spanish, Transportation with air conditioning and Cold water. It does not cover entrance tickets to phnom kulen ($20 per, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. The outlying temples take a half or full day of driving and repay it with emptiness. Beng Mealea, about 60 kilometres east, is a 12th-century temple of Angkor Wat's scale left largely uncleared, crossed on walkways over collapsed galleries. Koh Ker, two hours north-east, was briefly the capital in the 10th century and has Prasat Thom, a seven-tiered sandstone pyramid 36 metres high that you can climb by a wooden stair. Sambor Prei Kuk, listed by UNESCO in 2017, is older than Angkor itself, pre-Angkorian brick towers standing in forest. Some of these sites carry their own separate admission on top of the Angkor Pass. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $286, 5 is $358 and 8 is $455. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Golden Escape Cambodia runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
