80 km east of Siem Reap, about 1½ hr by car. Along with Ta Phrom and others, this is a temple which has been left to nature, but unlike Ta Phrom only a few trees have been removed. The trees and creepers that reduced this smaller version of Angkor Wat to ruins are still growing out of walls, and hanging over ruined buildings. This site is great for some atmospheric photos. Much of the route is along wooden boardwalks, although in a couple of places you have to clamber over walls. This can be taken in as part of a trip to the Roluos Group, or a long day trip with Banteay Srey and Kbal Spean, though this will entail about 5 hours travelling in total on some very rough roads. It is included in the Angkor Pass. Bus tours from Siem Reap will cost US$28 per person, or a travel agent can arrange a private car for US$45 for 2-3 people (Feb 2020). The trip can be extended to Koh Ker, located 120 km away.
Beng Mealea, or Boeng Mealea, is a temple from the Angkor Wat period located 40 km (25 mi) east of the main group of temples at Angkor, Cambodia, on the ancient royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay.
