Koh Ker, Beng Mealea and Kampong Kleang Tour in Siem Reap

A full-day experience in Siem Reap. The operator sums it up as discover the remote koh ker pyramid and ancient khmer capital. The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in Siem Reap, Private air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking local driver. It does not cover koh ker entrance fee, beng mealea entrance fee and kampong kleang boat ticket, 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. This one is priced for the group rather than per head: 1 traveller costs $220 and 8 costs $292, so the more of you there are the less each of you pays. 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.
