• Early Morning Departure: Meet your guide and driver at the hotel for an early departure. We will head north into Preah Vihear province to explore magnificent archaeological sites away from the main tourist crowds.

• Koh Ker (Ancient Capital): Discover the 10th-century capital of the Khmer Empire, once known as Lingapura (the City of Lingams) or Chok Gargyar. Serving as the imperial capital from 928 to 944 AD under Kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II, this massive 81-square-kilometer protected site contains dozens of sanctuaries still hidden deep within the forest.

• Scenic Countryside Drive: Journey toward the jungle, passing authentic glimpses of Cambodian daily life, including bustling local markets, traditional stilted houses, and scenic rice paddy fields.

• Beng Mealea: Explore this sprawling, unrestored 12th-century temple built by King Suryavarman II. Left to nature, massive tree roots and wild vegetation grow directly out of the ancient stone walls, offering an ultimate “Indiana Jones” experience. You can easily navigate the site via a sturdy wooden walkway, which was originally constructed for the filming of Jean-Jacques Annaud’s 2004 movie Two Brothers.

Later, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
