Private Guided Full-Day Tour to Koh Ker Temple with Pickup
Description
Koh Ker or Prasat Kaôh Ké is a remote archaeological site in northern Cambodia about 90 kilometers away from Siem Reap and the ancient site of Angkor. It is a jungle-filled region that is sparsely populated. More than 180 sanctuaries were found in a protected area of 81 square kilometers, Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest and the whole area is not fully demined. Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions, the town is mentioned as Lingapura (city of lingams), (translated as city of glance, or as iron tree forest).

Travel from Siem Reap to Koh Ker
Koh Ker is a 10th-century temple complex in the north Cambodian jungle. A former capital of the Khmer Empire, the site is now remote and heavily forested. The main structure, Koh Ker Temple, is a stepped 7-tiered pyramid. The large rectangular tank, Rahal Baray, supplied water to the complex. The Prasat Krahom, meaning "red temple," is known for its sandstone carvings, while Prasat Pram is covered in strangler figs.
Very beautiful, an amazing masterpiece that to some extent lucky enough to survive to remain the main structure amidst recent vandalism right after the civil war. Though its stones are black which may cause by natural heat, one can still find this place attractive n peaceful to relax.
This is one of my favorite temples in Cambodia. Not only is it really beautiful, but its remoteness and serenity are also awe-inspiring. Like Ta Phrom, trees have grown in and around the shrines adding a romantic feel to the place.
Nice big linga, in relatively good condition. Water hole on the side of the temple is still intact
Another beautiful temple located just opposite to Prasat Thom Which is the pyramid temple at Koh Ker.
Part of Koh Ker group of temples. Really worth a short stop if you are visiting the main Pyramid temple.
