In the morning, departure to visit the Koh Ker temple, a remote archaeological site about 120 kilometres away from Siem Reap. It is a jungle filled region which is sparsely populated.

The town is mentioned in inscriptions as Lingapura (city of lingams) or Chok Gargyar (translated as city of glance or as iron tree forest).
Return to Siem Reap in the afternoon and stop for the visit of the Beng Mealea temple, built as a Hindu temple, but some carvings depict Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps.
