Your journey to this glorious temple will take you through the Cambodian countryside. Located 120km from Siem Reap, Koh Ker was briefly the capital of the Khmer empire in the 10th century. Despite many hand-chiselled statues being looted and remaining in museums and private collections today, a trip to Koh Ker is certainly worth the distance. Depending on the time of day, you can be hard pressed to come across another soul whilst exploring the collection of structures in the Cambodian jungle. Without a doubt, your favourite structure will be the well-preserved pyramid that you can walk up to witness a spectacular jungle view.

The first stop on your journey is the often overlooked, but not underestimated Banteay Samré. You won’t come across many tourists here, allowing you to absorb the serene atmosphere. Walk around the enclosure and observe the carvings that depict mythological scenes, then make your way to the inner sanctuary where you will come across a small tomb whose purpose remains a mystery.
After Banteay Samré, relax on a spectacular ride through the Cambodian countryside to Banteay Srei. Take your time walking through the art exhibition about the temple’s history and restoration. Stroll past the lotus pond and explore the marvelous pink sandstone temple with its divine carvings dating back to the 10th century. Once finished, enjoy a meal at a nearby restaurant before your ride back to your hotel.
