Discover the ancient Angkorian capital of Koh Ker and its stunning pyramid temple on a one-day tour from Siem Reap. Explore the Mayan-like architecture and smaller surrounding temples, and learn about its connection to Angkor Wat.
We will begin our journey to Koh Ker very early in the morning. We will travel on National Road 6 to Koh Ker, located 120km from Siem Reap city. Koh Ker was briefly the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928 to 944 A.D during the reigns of kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II. There are a few people living near the temple, and it is enclosed by the forest, so many tourists havenâÂÂt made the trip to Koh Ker. There are more than 180 temples in a preserved area of 81 square kilometres, but only 24 monuments are open to tourists since most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the jungle.

This is a highly sought-after tour that takes you from Siem Reap to the deserted Angkorian capital of Koh Ker (928-944 A.D.). This Cambodian temple, reminiscent of Mayan pyramids, is accompanied by smaller adjacent temples such as Prasat Pram, Prasat Bak, Prasat Damrei, Prasat Chrap. Many experts believe that this temple was constructed in the early 12th century during the Angkor Wat era due to the similar architectural style. Consequently, it’s assumed this temple witnessed its inception under the reign of King Suryavarman II, who is also credited with the construction of Angkor Wat temple.
