Full description

A half-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Krong Siem Reap and Beng Mealea. The price covers Transportation by air-conditioned vehicle, Experienced English-speaking guide and Mineral water and cold tissues on tour. It does not cover beng mealea pass is usd10, or you can us and personal expenses and gratuities, 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. Ta Prohm is the temple the French conservators deliberately left half-swallowed, so the silk-cotton and strangler fig roots still pour over its galleries, and it is the one every visitor recognises from Tomb Raider. It was built by Jayavarman VII in 1186 as a Buddhist monastery and university; an inscription records that it once supported more than 12,500 people, with another 80,000 in the villages that fed it. Wooden walkways now route visitors past the famous roots, which means the queue for the best-known tree can be long by mid-morning. Preah Khan, its larger companion to the north, gets a fraction of the crowds and is the better walk for anyone who wants the same atmosphere without the line. Priced per person at about $51 each, so a party of 3 comes to $153. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. BAYON GUIDES runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

This was an amazing experience for me and I give huge thanks to my guide Sambath. I was very fortunate to have Sambath all to myself because no one else had booked for the afternoon. His deep knowedge and insights of Beng Mealea was invaluable and he very generously took videos and photographs for me to keep and share. Beng Mealea is a truly magical place and being on my own there with just Sambath was a great privilege. A few other visitors arrived while we were there, all quiet and taking it at their own pace. For me the temple is a powerful expression of the nobilities of Man and Nature in

Great 1/2 day tour at Beng Mealea. Can't say enough about our guide Mr Lee and our driver - both really great and made our tour very enjoyable. Finished off morning with an excellent lunch.

時間が限定されていたので、プライベートツアーにして時間通りに回ることができ良かったです。車は大型4WDで快適でした。ガイドさん(Mr.Sambata)はカンボジアの歴史にも精通しており、寺院建立の背景なども解説してくれ、とても勉強になりました。

Mein Guide Vitu und der Fahrer waren super pünktlich am Hotel. Die Fahrt war bereits sehr unterhaltsam und informativ. Ich konnte alles fragen und bekam viele Informationen rund um Kambodscha und Angkor. Nach fast 1h Fahrt kamen wir am Tempel Beng Mealea. Die erste Zeit waren wir, bis auf das Personal vor Ort, komplett alleine im Tempel. Die Natur, die hier über die Steine herrschte war beeindruckend. Die Bäume waren zwar lange nicht so riesig wie im Ta Phrom-Tempel, aber die Kraft der Natur war deutlich zu sehen. Es führte ein aus Holz gebauter Pfad durch den Tempel und Vitu erzählte viel Inf

Tolle Tour zum Beng Mealea Tempel. Der Tempel liegt etwas versteckt mitten im Wald. Da es dort nur wenige Touristen hin verschlägt, ist es sehr ruhig. Auch wenn große Teile der Tempelanlage schon in sich zusammengefallen sind, ist der Tempel absolut sehenswert. Unser Guide (und gleichzeitig Fahrer) Sambath war enorm engagiert, er hat uns nicht nur die Tempelanlage, sondern auch das Leben in Kambodscha näher gebracht und auch ein wenig ins kambodschanische Essen eingeführt. Absolut empfehlenswert!
