Beng Mealea, a spectacular jungle temple
It is a spectacular jungle temple around 60 km drive north east of Siem Reap. It is one of the ‘new’ highlights of Cambodia; having only been cleared of mines at the end of 2003. Built by Jayarvaman VII; in the style of Angkor Wat; its scale is huge; being well over one square Kilometer within its moat. Approached by a four causeways, Beng Mealea appears to be a huge pile of rubble partially hidden in the trees.
Cloaked in vegetation and with few concessions to tourism, this temple looks like it would have done had the early French explorers found it. Once you get closer the high walls, the ancient Khmer Architecture reveals itself.
