Travel to Beng Mealea, built as a Hindu temple, though some carvings depict Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone, and it remains largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards, while many of its stones lie in great heaps. For years, it was not easy to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea, and more visitors are now coming to the site, which is 77 km from Siem Reap.
