Visit Beng Mealea Temple by Car or Mini Van

Beng Mealea: is a spectacular jungle temple around 60 Kms drive to the north east of Siem Reap. It is one of the "new "highlights of Cambodia; having only been cleared of mines at the end of 2003.

Built by Jayarvaman VII; in the style of Angkor Wat; its scale is huge; being well over one square Kilometre within its moat. Approached by a four causeways; Beng Mealea appears to be a huge pile of rubble partially hidden in the trees. Once you get closer the high walls, the ancient Khmer Architecture reveals itself. Cloaked in vegetation and with few concessions to tourism; this temple looks like it would have done when the early French explorers found it.

A new road linking Siem Reap to Beng Mealea was cut through the jungle in 2003 and is now mostly paved. It takes around one and half hours to drive here. Beng Mealea is not yet on the main tourist trail but word is spreading fast; so come here now as this fabulous place will not stay like it is for too long!
