Embark on a full-day journey to Koh Ker, located 130 km north of Angkor. This ancient capital hides one of Cambodia’s most impressive and mysterious structures — the seven-tier Prasat Prang pyramid, rising 35 meters high. At its summit lies a vertical shaft linked to one of Angkor’s most powerful legends: a ritual “passage to the underworld,” where the king-god is believed to have offered sacrifices to the demon Mara.
On the way back, discover another extraordinary site — Beng Mealea Temple, older than Angkor Wat and often called its “prototype.” Partially collapsed and wrapped in dense jungle, Beng Mealea offers an unforgettable Indiana Jones–style experience.
What to bring: A hat, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a camera.
