Beng Mealea is what Angkor looked like before the clearing crews: collapsed galleries, trees through the roof, a boardwalk over the rubble. The 15 below are compared on drive time, what else they fit in and whether lunch is included.

Siem Reap: Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea and Tonle Sap Tour

1.Kulen Mountain, Beng Mealea and Tonle Sap Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,483 reviews · 10 hours · from $48Our pick

Join an English-speaking guide such as Sam, Dara, Sa, or Jan for a 10-hour trip from Siem Reap into the countryside. You’ll visit Kulen Mountain, swim beneath a waterfall, eat a picnic lunch, explore jungle-covered Beng Mealea, and finish with a boat ride through Kampong Phluk near sunset.

“Our guide Mr Ramen was excellent, very knowledgeable with great English and friendly too. Mr Moon was our driver and he did a great job keeping our bus cool and clean throughout with lots of cold water available. Really great trip to give a flavour of different things available near Siem Reap rather than just costing the main temples and leaving.”

We had a wonderful guide Mony who was very attentive and kept us entertained with interesting facts and history about the places we visited all day.

“Peaceful temple experience away from the crowds Excellent small group tour (just 4 people), which made the experience relaxed and personal. Beng Mealea was nice - would probably be stunning during rainy season with lush vegetation. The absolute highlight was Prasat Pram with the magnificent tree growing through the temple. We had plenty of time for photography and exploring at our own pace. All the temples we visited were peaceful with minimal to no tourists, which was a refreshing change from the main Angkor circuit. Our guide struck the perfect balance - knowledgeable and informative when needed, but also gave us space to enjoy the tranquility and explore independently without…”
