When found by the French conservators at the end of the 19th century, they deliberately left this temple in the same condition as it was discovered, overgrown by strangler fig and silk-cotton trees, giving the temple a mystical and romantic appeal.

This Vishnuite temple is the King’s funerary temple that is why the temple is oriented to the west. Inside the temple the walls are covered by carvings and bas-reliefs depicting the Hindu mythology and the wars Suryavarman II made during his reign. As well Angkor Wat is well known for the 1800 Apsara dancers decorating the all temple. But like most say, it takes a life time to discover all the wonders of this temple.

Watching sunset at Pre Rup temple, a Hindu temple, built as the state temple of king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. The temple’s name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body".

Amazing tour of Siem Reaps temples
We booked the trip to the temples of Siem Reap including ground transfer from Bangkok, land border crossing into Cambodia and private driver and tour guide.
The communication during and after the booking process was outstanding and very clear.
The transport from Bangkok and border crossing was very well organized and we arrived as planned in our hotel in Siem Reap, where we met our tour guide Kim the first time.
Kim helped us to personalize our itinerary for the next days, so that it would accommodate our wish for the right balance between sightseeing and also some relaxation.
We very much liked the way we were shown the incredible sights with Kim’s detailed explanation of them.
Everything was perfect. Thanks again!

A Perfect end to our tour of Vietnam and Cambodia
My wife and I spent three days in Siem Reap at the end of our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia during which time we experienced a variety of guides. We were very fortunate in having Poan as our guide for the Angkor temple complex. He is very knowledgeable and having an excellent understanding of English was able to answer our many questions. However, he did not bombard us with information but gave us time and space to absorb our surroundings. We were also very impressed by his flexible approach in the use of our time and the further insights he gave us on the way of life and culture of the Cambodian people. We would thoroughly recommend Poan.

A WONDERFUL GUIDE
Sophan Rath was our guide in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat and the surrounding areas and temples. We were with him for 5 days. He was very informative and answered all of our questions. He was always helpful and kind. He was very helpful to me as I have to walk slowly due to a bad leg. He was the best guide I've had in years. He took us to many more places then we had expected and gave us experiences that I do not believe another guide would do. He was so easy to be with and a truly wonderful person. He was fabulous! I highly recommend him!

We had a wonderful time during our 3 day visit to Cambodia, in large part due to Poan. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible, and has an excellent command of spoken and written English.
I knew that the packaged tours would not work for my family, because I planned to spend most of the 3 days thoroughly visiting every temple I could manage, while my wife and daughter had different priorities. They wished to see a few temples for a few hours, and then spend time seeing other cultural sites and shopping. Each day we developed a plan where my family would spend some time with me at the temples, and then Poan would take them other places while providing me walking directions to various nearby temples. Poan picked me up late in the day, after I had seen everything I could fit in. So I got my fill of temples while my family got the mix of different experiences they wanted.
I highly recommend Poan for your travels and sightseeing in Cambodia!

The glorious temple of Angkor Wat was rediscovered in 1908. Since that time, thousands have flocked to Siem Reap, the center of the former Angkor Empire and home to hundreds of temples and lost cities. They have discovered as you will, the mysteries that this spot on the planet holds for many. Experience a traditional floating villages and markets as you make your way on the Tonle Sap, Asia's largest freshwater lake. There will be time to stop and shop, too!...

Sprawling jungle temple covering over one square kilometer, the temple is largely overrun by vegetation and very lightly touristed, giving it an adventours, ‘lost temple’ feel. Photographers: trees growing from the broken towers and galleries offer some of the best ‘tree in temple’ shots aside from Ta Prohm. Constructed in a distinctly Angkor Wat style under the same king that built Angkor Wat, Beng Melea preceded and may have served as a prototype of sorts for Angkor Wat. Though there are some lintel and doorway carving, there are no bas-relief and the carvings are comparatively sparse....

Jayavaraman II was the first king of the Angkorian era, though his origins are recorded in history that borders on legend. He is reputed to have been a Khmer prince, returned to Cambodia around 790AD after a lengthy, perhaps forced stay in the royal court in ‘Java’. Regardless of his origin, he was a warrior who, upon returning to Cambodia, subdued enough of the competing Khmer states to declare a sovereign and unified ‘Kambuja’ under a single ruler. He made this declaration in 802AD in a ceremony on Kulen Mountain (Phnom Kulen) north of Siem Reap, where he held a ‘god-king’ rite that remain more than hundred decades....
