Highlights
Koh Ker is unique for its pyramid-style central temple, Prasat Thom, which is unlike other temples in Cambodia, and for being a rare, short-lived capital of the Khmer Empire away from Angkor. Its architecture, developed during its time as capital, featured large-scale construction, and it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in September 2023. It also offers a more secluded and natural experience, surrounded by dense jungle. Architectural and historical uniqueness Prasat Thom Pyramid: The seven-tiered, 30-meter-high pyramid of Prasat Thom is the most distinctive feature. It is a unique design compared to the more typical mountain-style temples of the region. Preah Khan Kampong Svay is unique for its massive size, distinct art motifs like the three-headed elephants and Garuda, its status as a major industrial center, and its remote location that has preserved a "jungle temple" atmosphere with fewer tourists.

Itinerary
PRASAT KOH KER (Group of temples) is in Preah Vihear province as well. This temple is like a Pyramid with seven levels up to the sky. Don’t miss the panoramic view from the top, wonderful for photos. We’ll also see smaller temples in the group – Prasat Krachap, Prasat Neang Kmao, Prasat Ling, Moat, and Prasat Bram, Prasat Chen. Most of these temples are cover by jungle as this area was abandoned and only recently discovered.
The archeological complex of Preah Khan of Kampong Svay or Prasat Bakan or Bakan Svay Rolay is located 100 km east of Angkor, in Preah Vihear province, Cambodia. It stands as the largest single religious complex ever built during Angkorian Era, as its exterior enclosure is over 22 km square, even if the isolated location makes it one of the less-visited. Preah Khan Kompong Svay also a group of temples and biggest Buddha standing statue.
Prasat Pram is a temple complex in Koh Ker, Cambodia, known for its five brick and laterite towers and the dramatic tree roots that have engulfed two of the structures. The name "Pram" means "five," referring to the five temples on a common terrace. It is a popular photography spot due to the striking visual of roots intertwined with ancient architecture, particularly the northeastern tower.
Prasat Neang Khmau (also known as "Lady in Black" temple) is an ancient Khmer temple complex located in either Takeo province or Preah Vihear province (Koh Ker). The name refers to the dark color of its weathered stones, which may be due to oxidation or historical fire damage. The Takeo version consists of two deteriorated brick towers from the 10th century, dedicated to the god Shiva.
Prasat Chrap is a 10th-century Khmer temple complex in Koh Ker, Cambodia, characterized by three large, partially ruined laterite towers standing in a row within a laterite enclosure wall. It also features two smaller brick structures, possibly libraries or earlier shrines, located opposite the main towers.
Prasat Banteay Pichean is a rarely visited ancient temple located within the Koh Ker temple complex in the Preah Vihear Province of Cambodia. It dates to the 10th century, during the reign of King Jayavarman IV.
Prasat Linga is a temple housing a massive linga, a symbolic pillar representing the Hindu god Shiva. These temples, often found at sites like Koh Ker, feature a large, monolithic stone linga (often 2 meters high) on a yoni pedestal (the female symbol). Many of these temples, likely unfinished or missing perishable roofs, were designed so that rainwater could flow over the linga, pooling in a ceremonial tank below.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.
Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
