Description

Following a pick-up from your Siem Reap hotel at 08:00, drive through the Cambodian outback for approximately 36 miles (60 kilometers) to the enigmatic 11th-century Beng Melea Temple. Pre-dating the legendary temple complex of Angkor Wat, Beng Mealea is though to have been its more famous counterpart’s prototype. Covered in thick vines and the roots of ancient trees, it provides the ideal Angkor photo opportunities.

The impressive “lost” temple complex is primarly made from sandstone and contains carvings of Buddhist motifs, along with carvings of scenes from Hindu mythology among its towers, courtyards, and stones lying in piles among the thick brush.

After lunch, cruise to the floating village of Chong Phneas on Tonle Sap Lake. This is one of the most atmospheric settlements of the lake, where the abundant fish serve to provide the locals with their source of income. Meet some of the fishermen to learn more about their everyday lives. Then, visit a fish farm and a crocodile farm.
