Beng Mealea, Temples of Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia

The basics

A rural location away from the main Angkor temples means that Beng Mealea sees far fewer crowds. With that in mind, plenty of off-the-beaten-path sightseeing tours stop at the temple; tours tend to transport you by either tuk-tuk, air-conditioned vehicle, or on a bike. and usually combine Beng Mealea with the intricately-decorated Banteay Srei. Many continue on to Tonle Sap Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, and include a cruise to the floating villages of Kompong Khleang.

Beng Mealea Temple Private Day Tour
Beng Mealea is a temple with less people than those temples in the Angkor vat area, so it is quiet and calm. I could realize the power of nature and long history from the temple being collapsed by big trees. The guide KK is so kind that he not only showed me around Beng Mealea, but also the local market and food stalls lining at the side of the road to Beng Mealea. I would not have been able to experience those things if I went to Beng Mealea alone.

Interesting day tour, where you can visit some local villages, see how people leave and learn about their traditions and history. Cultural tour, visiting some beautiful shrines and ancient temples. Thanks to the guide team (Sareik and the driver) for their availability and explanations.

Full-Day Tour: Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea & Tonle Sap
Great experience with David (guide). He gave detailed info, clear in his communication, accomodating (allowing us to spend a little more time in some places), giving helpful tips at touristy places and always making sure we were hydrated .. This is the only trip i found which has both the Kulen Mountain and the floating village included - good combination of places to visit.

Explore Koh Ker and Beng Mealea Temple Private Experience
It’s a very exciting and good tour combining the more Remote temples of Beng Mealea and Koh Ker. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the history of Angkor etc. and the craft of building the temples. We were lucky to have both more or less on our own and got the feeling of taking part in an Indiana Jones movie. I would highly recommend the trip and guide.

4-Day Excursion of Angkor, Koh Ker, Beng Mealea, Tonle Sap and Waterfalls
We had an amazing time as a family with Samath (our guide) and our Driver Sophat. The paces that we saw where very well organized, the tour was very nice and the guide knew his job providing a lot of details on the history around what we were looking at. He was also very good at taking pictures and identifying the right spots to have the best pictures., The drive around the places was very safe and nice detail on the wet towels receiving us after every temple. An experience worth to ve lived.

We found that two days combining Angkor, Beng Malea and the floating village covers all ends. Do not limit yourself to just Angkor Wat. The guys were very professional and organized. We had smooth sailing and a lot of impressions.

Our guide Sam is a knowledgeable man who brought the wall carvings in the temples to life by telling us the details of the stories behind the carvings. He is patient, never hurrying us. He speaks good English and is good with the camera, helping us to "frame" all our pictures very interestingly.

1 Day: Preah Vihear, Koh Ker and Beng Mealea
What a treat this day tour has been: you really get to see three very unique temple complexes which see very few tourist . Hence, it is a breathtaking experience because you feel like an explorer. In two temples we were the only guests present - just us, our guide - the staff of the sights. Our guide Pitt was amazing: he spoke really good English and gave his best to make this day a memorable one. This long day on the road flew by quickly. The pickup at the hotel was smooth, the vehicle very comfortable, all was safe - and if you pack some lunch/snacks you can skip a proper break. Highly recommendable! Finally a word of advice: while the tour agency happily caters to you wishes for a comfortable starting time, you should not start from Siem Reap later than 7 am. We started later and therefore only made it to Beng Mealea Temple (you have seen nothing like it) by making some shortcuts and due to efforts of our guide and drive to make in time to this temple before closure. While it worked for us, you might not always be so lucky due to traffic.
