Beng Mealea
Beng Mealea is one of the most interesting of Angkor's many temples, but was also one of the hardest to reach. Since the road has improved recently makes this site becoming very popular.
This 12th century temple is enclosed by a moat measuring 1200m by 900m. It is nearly the size of Angkor Wat, but utterly subsumed by jungle. Many of the carvings have recently been plundered due to the temple's isolation, but that doesn't detract from the atmosphere.
