Phnom Bok Temple

Phnom Bok Temple is located about 30 kilometers from Siem Reap. The temple is on the top of the Bok mountain and gives a chance to behold the panoramic view of lakes, cities, and fields beneath you. It’s a trekking spot in the city that tourists rarely trot. Carry plenty of water and wear light clothes to walk up the stairs. You can also grab a picnic and spend an evening here.

Phnom Kulen National Park is a revered site in Cambodia that houses the Kulen Mountain. About 90 minutes from the city, Phnom Kulen was the capital of the earliest Khmer Empire. It houses some temple ruins and sculptures, but most of the area remains untouched. You can walk around, visit the 20 small temples, and enjoy swimming in the waterfalls. However, it is difficult to reach. The Rorng Chen Temple around this plateau is an interesting site, as it is the first pyramid built by a king from Angkor. Read More

Phnom Kulen is one of the largest waterfalls in Cambodia, located in the Phnom Kulen National Park. It has two levels that submerge into a pool, where you can swim.

Pre Rup is one of the oldest structures, located south of East Baray in Siem Reap in Cambodia. King Rajendravarman II built this mountain temple in 961 AD.

On the west, you can see the towers of Angkor Wat and other temple ruins on the horizon. Pre Rup also offers some of the best views of Siem Reap's countryside laden with paddy fields. Read More

Preah Khan is one of the last remaining remote structures in Siem Reap. Khmer King Jayavarman VII built it and dedicated it to his father, Dharanindravarman. Located about 2km from the dynasty's capital Angkor Thom, this massive complex is over 55 hectares, serving as a monastery and a learning center for Buddhist monks. It was a unique structure in the Khmer empire that functioned as a city, a temple, and a Buddhist university. Over 15,000 monks, including many teachers and students, resided in Preah Khan during its zenith. The flourishing town consisted of hospitals, grain houses, rest homes, and other official public buildings. Like Ta Prohm, forests invaded parts of the temple, but some were left intact after excavation, adding a layer of mystery and beauty to the rubble. The growth of dense forests around the complex combines with the rich ruins, making Preah Khan one of the most visited attractions in Angkor park. Read More
