"Koh Ker: Cambodia’s Lost Pyramid in the Jungle 🇰🇭"

🎙️Koh Ker is an ancient temple complex in northern Cambodia, about 120 km from Siem Reap. It was once the capital of the Khmer Empire (928-944 AD) before Angkor. Hidden deep in the jungle, Koh Ker is known for its massive pyramid temple, Prasat Thom, which stands 36 meters (118 feet) tall—resembling a Mayan temple more than the usual Angkorian structures. 🤩Why Visit Koh Ker? 🤭Fewer Crowds – Unlike Angkor Wat, Koh Ker remains off the beaten path, making it feel like a real lost city. 😉Unique Pyramid Temple – Prasat Thom’s steep seven-tiered pyramid offers breathtaking views from the top. 🤫Hidden Jungle Ruins – The complex has over 180 temples, many still covered in vines and trees, giving it a mystical, Indiana Jones-like feel. 🤔Giant Lingas & Carvings – Koh Ker is famous for its massive stone lingas (Hindu symbols of Shiva) and intricate carvings. 🚗🛺How to Get There? By Car or Tuk-Tuk – A 2.5-hour drive from Siem Reap. 💎Part of a Day Trip – Usually combined with Beng Mealea, another jungle-covered temple. ☺️Best Time to Visit Cool season (November – February) for the best weather. Go early to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the heat. If you love exploring off-the-beaten-path ruins, Koh Ker is a must-visit! 😍 #kohkertemple #siemreapcity #travelcambodia 🇰🇭
