This was the last temple I visited in Cambodia on my way to Kulen National Park. The visits to the previous temples left me with one perplexing question: How did the humans of that time put together these marvels that stand before me? I researched over and over, but I was just left with more questions than answers. That is until I spent time here. This temple can be considered as ruins compared to Angkor Wat and the other temples in Siem Reap. But it helped me piece together how these temples might have actually been built, you can clearly see the grooves and the design behind their construction. If you have even the slightest inclination toward engineering, spend some time here, there is an incredible amount to learn about the thinking behind the construction process. PS : Your day pass to the main temples will be required here too.

One of the underrated Temple but it’s massive & very impressive structural view can amaze you. We loved this place & was worth to visit on the way back from Koah Ker & Kulen Park. The walking trail throughout the temple structure was amazing, and difficult to express the beauty by words & pictures. At some point we lost the way back road before evening, which was thrilling but finally we found the way back to Exit 😉If you have Angkor Special Pass it work for free of cost entry! Definitely worth to visit 🙏

This is way too underrated!! It's a very unique temple in Cambodia, the ruins makes it more fascinating, you feel like you immersed in a different world. Going in the rainy season got you seeing greener. It looks a lot more breathtaking than the images I've seen on the internet. Probably the first place that constantly making me wow. Sadly, I arrived there 4:30 already so didn't have much time to enjoy much. But 1hour for me is not bad. There were kids helping around too so we were not really alone even it was pretty late. A bit far from the city but it's really worth your time and energy.

Wow! This place deserves restoration! I wish UNESCO would get behind that. This place is magnificent even as it is but if restored would be unbearable!

Beng Mealea is a very impressive temple built in the reign of King Suryavarman II, 12th century CE, and modified by Jayavarman VII. It is surrounded by a moat of 1200m in length and 900m in width, a symbol of a cosmos ocean surrounding Mount Meru, the residence of all the Gods.

Tomb Raider Temple. Part of the Angkor Wat complex. Really interesting with the trees growing into the damaged areas and on top of the buildings.
