Private One Day Trip to Beng Mealea and Kompong Phluk Floating Village

You will travel through picturesque countryside and rural villages approximately 60km in the north-east direction to the jungle temple of Beng Mealea. Once in a complete state of disrepair resembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, Beng Mealea has recently been made more accessible with the addition of a wooden walkway throughout the structure assuring a safe access and slight elevation, thus a better view. This mid 12th century temple features mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism attributes and is particularly mesmerising in the wet season. Later in the afternoon you will arrive in Kompong Phluk, an authentic stilted village on the edge of the great Tonle Sap Lake. Fun fact: most households here own boats as well as motorbikes as their road becomes a water channel during the monsoon. The biggest attraction in this neighbourhood is the eerie Flooded Forest accessible by boat during the wet season.
