Two Days Classical Angkor & Beng Mealea Tour
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the wonders of the Khmer Empire with our 2-Day Classical Angkor & Beng Mealea Tour. This program is designed for travelers who wish to explore the most iconic landmarks of Angkor while also experiencing the untamed beauty of Beng Mealea, a temple still wrapped in the mystery of the jungle.
On the first day, you’ll discover the timeless masterpieces of the Angkor Archaeological Park, from the breathtaking sunrise at Angkor Wat to the smiling stone faces of Bayon Temple and the tree-root covered ruins of Ta Prohm. These sites represent the glory and spiritual depth of Khmer civilization, and walking through them feels like traveling back into the pages of history.
The second day takes you beyond the main complex into the Cambodian countryside, where rice fields and palm trees lead the way to Beng Mealea, often called the “Indiana Jones Temple.” Unlike the restored temples of Angkor, Beng Mealea remains wild and atmospheric, with collapsed galleries and giant trees weaving through ancient stones. It offers a true sense of discovery and adventure, making a perfect contrast to the grandeur of Angkor Wat.
This two-day itinerary gives you the best of both worlds: the classical highlights that every visitor dreams of, and the hidden treasures that make your journey unique and unforgettable.
