Siem Reap - Phnom Kulen - Beng Mealea - Siem Reap
This morning we take a short transfer to foot of the Phnom Kulen Hills, a sacred place where many Khmers like to hang out in the weekends, passing through local villages and field's en-route. Also, home to a waterfall where a refreshing dip will no doubt be appreciated. From here, trek east to Svay Leu Pagoda, passing through Cambodia's pristine jungle. Cycle south on less used roads to Beng Mealea, a relatively unexplored temple: a huge, sprawling complex that is an explorer's dream as most of the temple is covered in jungle and the crowds are nowhere to be seen. Continue back to Siem Reap for dinner at Nest Angkor Restaurant.Overnight in Siem Reap.
