Overall Ratings

A unique destination for off-the-beaten-path travellers, nature seekers & adventurers in wild Cambodia. 3 hours by road from Siem Reap town, centred between Koh Ker and Preah Khan of Kompong Svay temples. Activities comprise forest hikes, ancient ruins, wildlife spotting and birding, and even a pair of ziplines across the valley. Working closely with local community to protect this fragile land.

We spent 4 days at Betreed Adventures, in a nature reserve close to Preah Khan. Sharyn, who runs the place, is incredibly hospitable and can give you a glimpse into anything you care to know about Cambodia. Her husband Ben focuses on the conservation side and is constantly after poachers and loggers in the area. His stories are fascinating (and mind boggling). It's a great escape to nature, living in the open air stilt house or tree house, hiking with Amelie (one of their daughters) guiding us, ziplining and experiencing all the wildlife around. All the meals were also very tasty. It’s a bit of a challenge to get out here without your own wheels (and even then, tough to navigate) but Sharyn can help arrange transport from Siem Reap/Phnom Penh or suitable main road connections.
3. Koh Ker Temple

Koh Ker, three hours from Siem Reap, served as the capital of the Khmer empire from 928 to 944, and was built under King Jayavarman IV under whose reign colossal sculptures and lingas were constructed, leading to charges of megalomania. Some of the lingas remain, though the sculptures have been removed to the museum in Phnom Penh. The site, which has only recently been demined, is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30 meter high pyramid temple. In view of the distance, there are far fewer crowds here, making a visit an easier and more pastoral experience.

Tired of visiting crowded temples? Koh Ker temple is located about 100 kilometers from Siem Reap, and if you go early in the morning with a private driver you can actually visit this temple (pyramid) alone, Something you seldom can experience these days! Absolutely worth the drive about 2-2,5 hours one way! If possible I would choose a english speaking driver!

It took very long time to drive to this place from Siem Reap to Preah Vihear temple, It was a life time of experience with setting in pickup car drive up to the top of high mountain Dongrak more than 500 meters high and You have to pay the car fee which wasn't included with the tour price. That mountain top has 5 temples and all those were amazing to see. We looked to the Cambodia land and the Thai country too. It was also good for walking over there, for who like to walk. Highly recommend to visit this temple.
