Itinerary
Beng Mealea
Start your journey with a drive through Cambodia’s beautiful countryside on the way to Beng Mealea. Along the route, you’ll pass by traditional villages, rice fields, and sugar palm trees, offering plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos. Once at Beng Mealea, explore this vast, mysterious temple, often called the “jungle temple.” Overgrown with vines and trees, its crumbling walls and hidden passageways create an atmosphere of adventure and wonder, transporting you back to the days of the Khmer Empire.

Ruluos Group Temples (Preah Ko, LoLei, and Bakong)
After lunch, visit the Ruluos Group, some of the earliest temples built by the Khmer Empire. Explore Preah Ko, with its intricate carvings and serene atmosphere, and LoLei, a temple constructed on an island reflecting the architectural style of the period. Finally, discover Bakong, a majestic pyramid temple surrounded by gardens and water features.

Testimonials
We have had many guests throughout the years, here are just a few of the nice things they say about us.
I made the decision to go with Angkor Doors on pure spec and was very glad I did. Our guide Bunpheng Chan was professional, cheerful, knowledgeable and insightful on the both modern and historical Khmer history and events. We took a half day air conditioned car (4 hour) tour and visited the Wat and Angkor Thom/The Bayon.
Mr Pheng was one of the best tour guides I personally experienced. We never felt that he is trying to take advantage of us and had great passion for his job. He is an interesting person with a lot of knowledge for modern and ancient history and we had amazing talks including big doses of humour!
We used Ankor doors for a 2 day guided tour and it was fabulous! Pheng’s English was good and his knowledge was great. It was very hot and water was provided all day. I don’t think you can visit Ankor Wat without a guide to help you navigate the site and the history.
