Prasat Beng Mealea

See what nature will eventually do to all of man's works. This is an awesome place. Still virtually unrestored, Ta Prohm on steroids, the ultimate movie set for a Hollywood epic. This temple is well worth the time and travel to get there. There is nowhere like Beng Melea. If you can fit it into your agenda, if you are here long enough you should make it out here. I have to recommend a tour package though, because it just makes it so much better if you don't have to do all the arrangements, although the tour I took included Preah Vihear, which is another "must see" site, given the military action in the neighborhood, it might not be possible, but only time will tell, but if you can make it there as well it would be all to the good, but at any rate an air-conditioned minivan was the way to go. A lot of dozing was done between sites.

Boeng Mealea Temple is a beautiful and natural place to explore. It’s not as crowded as Angkor Wat because it’s a bit far from the city, which makes it peaceful and relaxing. If you plan to visit Phnom Kulen, I highly recommend stopping by here as well. It’s definitely worth it!

A little further away but still beautiful to see. You cant walk in the temple itself, as it is mostly destroyed, but it is a beautiful place to watch nature interact with human civilization ♡

Amazing. A temple in harmony with nature. You can see the beautiful scenery created by the contrast between the moss's green color and the stone buildings.

Worth seeing even if it's quite destroyed.. perhaps that's the charm of it. It would've been beautiful back in the day. It is a bit out of they way but still worth visiting.

Definitely another temple worth visiting! In some areas, it resembles Banteay Chhmar with its ruins, jungle surroundings, and trees growing through the stone blocks. The natural shade is especially pleasant in the heat. It’s a lovely place, and I would happily visit again, especially if you're on your way to Koh Ker. Went by motorbike with Mototom Cambodia.

My favorite temple. Truly a fascinating temple that defies explanation. Although the temple is largely destroyed it is an amazing place with some of the most remarkable structures and stone work that you don’t see at others. Something about it just doesn’t fit, it seems to possibly be from an earlier time. Well worth a visit and it does not have the crowds.

The most beautiful matcha temple amazing in rainy season. The dark corridor is amazing. Imagine yourself walking in that period
