Alternative Beng Melea & Remote Temple Tour

After breakfast at your hotel, your English Speaking Guide will meet and greet you at your hotel. An early start to visit Beng Mealea Temple, one of Angkor’s more atmospheric settings, the ancient temple at Beng Mealea lies well off the beaten track. Located some 77 kilometers from the main complex at Siem Reap and shrouded in jungle, this magical location conjures up instant images of lost temples and adventure, with its crumbling towers and courtyards wrapped in tree roots and vegetation. One of the largest of the Khmer temples, it is also one of Angkor’s most photogenic.

Later we head to Troav Kot Lake for your local lunch. In recent years, this is now popular for local hangouts during the public holidays with stunning lake views. You can relax in the hammock while waiting for your food. Lots of local beer and drinker water are available.

After lunch, we head to Happy Dragon-fruit Farm and enjoy the local fruit before going to visit one of the least visited temples called, Chai Say, Vibol Temple, is the vastest temple complex in the Angkor plains that is situated outside the Archaeological Park. It lies to the east of Angkor and to the northeast of Roluos. It is an "off the beaten track" monument.

A visitor should neither expect intact buildings nor delicious works of art because Chau Say Vibol is unrestored. Even the original structure was not at all luxuriously decorated, though constructed in Angkor's heydays in the 12th century. It is most probably from the Angkor Wat period in the first half of the century. You can also visit a Buddhist temple nearby before heading back to Siem Reap. Arrive at Siem Reap and transfer to your hotel.
