We then head to Angkor Thom, it was the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII.

After that, transfer to quiet Beng Mealea temple, around 65 km from Siem Reap. After a short walk through dense jungle, you'll feel like an explorer when entering the completely overgrown temple. Undiscovered for centuries, Beng Mealea has only recently been made accessible and remains unrestored. It is one of the very few temples that actually give the opportunity to climb through it, giving a very 'Indian Jones' feel to the experience.
