Angkor Full Day Tour: Explore Beng Melea and Fishing Village

Explore Beng Mealea Temple & Kampong Plouk Floating Village

Discover the Hidden Jungle Temple of Beng Mealea
Start your adventure with a journey to Beng Mealea, one of the most mysterious and less-visited temples of the Angkor period. Located about 65 km from Siem Reap, this sprawling complex is overrun by nature, with trees and vines weaving through ancient stone corridors. Often called the “Indiana Jones temple,” Beng Mealea offers a truly wild and immersive atmosphere — perfect for adventurous explorers and photographers.

Experience Local Life at Kampong Plouk Floating Village
Continue your day with a visit to Kampong Plouk Village, located on the edge of the Tonle Sap Lake. This traditional stilted village offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of local fishing communities. During the rainy season, the water rises and transforms the area into a floating world. Enjoy a peaceful boat ride through the mangrove forest, see homes on stilts towering above the water, and witness the harmony between people and nature.
