In the morning We start tour to  Beng Mealea, a jungle-Clad Temple
We travel through villages on the outskirts of Siem Reap to the mysterious  Beng Mealea  temple, the blueprint for Angkor Wat. It is far enough from Siem Reap to be virtually unaffected by the growing tourist in the country. There are plenty of opportunities on the journey to stop and look around, take photographs, understand the local agriculture and sample the locally made sweet sticky rice in a bamboo. This temple is overgrown with trees and vines, and it an explorer’s dream: venture in to darkened doorways, skirt crumbling pillars and walk down the long promenades line by the Naga balustrades. The history of the temple is unknown and it can be dated only by its architectural style, identical to Angkor Wat, so scholars assumed it was built during the reign of King suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Smaller in size than Angkor Wat, the king’s main monument, Beng Mealea nonetheless ranks among the khmer empire’s larger temples. Continue to Koh Ker Group Temples
Koh Ker Lost Archeological Site can be found 120 kilometers northeast of Siem Reap.
The pleasant trip from Siem Reap to Koh Ker takes around two hours and passes through good roads. Along the route, you will see glimpses of cashew and banana plantations, as well as impressive rice fields and local villages.
At this location, overgrown trees tangle untrampled across thousand-year-old structures.
When you reach the top of a pyramid built in the Mayan style with seven levels, you will see a green and vivid landscape stretching out in front of you.
Why travel so far to see Koh Ker?
The mountains of Dangrek, Kulen, and Tbeng may be seen in the background of the jungle setting of Koh Ker.
Koh Ker is nearly as huge as the Angkor complex, spanning 81 square kilometers over its entirety; yet, due to its more distant location, it has suffered greater damage and pillage over the course of its history.
If you go at the right time of year, you might find the ruins hidden in the foliage and thick vegetation, but at other times of the year they might be completely visible amongst the bare trees.
Koh Ker is one of the temple locations from the Angkor period that has received the least amount of research.
Since Koh Ker has just been half excavated, there is a good chance that you will discover something that has been hidden.
Since much of the information researchers had gathered about the place during the Khmer Rouge was destroyed, the location is essentially indecipherable.
