Beng Mealea was built as a Hindu temple, but some carvings depict Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site, as it is 77 km from Siem Reap by road.

The tour to Beng Mealea temple, about 75km outside of Siem Reap, was great! Tour guide Jack is very knowledgeable and on the drive to the temple, we had a nice conversation. The temple is beautiful, and, fortunately, not too busy. A combination of culture and nature!
