If you’re planning to visit Cambodia and hoping to explore
some hidden Cambodian tourists’ spots, you can visit these hidden sites tucked away
from the main tourists trail.
Banteay
Chhmar
Banteay Chhmar Temple is one of Cambodia’s national treasures.
It dates back from the Angkorian period; it’s a precious and irreplaceable link
to the cultural heritage of the Khmer people. In the temple there are four
smaller satellite temples surrounding the main temple as well.
Even though Banteay Chhmar lacks the preservation of
Angkor Wat, there is a certain charm to its tumbling walls and neglected towers.
Koh
Ker
Another most beautiful remnant of the Khmer empire
is Koh Ker. Though there are over 180 temples and sanctuaries in the Koh Ker region,
the main attraction is Koh Ker temple, a square stepped pyramid rising dramatically
out of the surrounding Cambodian landscape. Also worth a visit are the
beautifully carved red temple Prasat Prahom, and the fantastical Prasat Pram
overgrown by strangler figs.
Preah
Vihear Temple
This is considered to be the most stunning temple in
Cambodia, this little – known tourists’ spot sits atop a mountain on the border
of Thailand and Cambodia. Older than Angkor Wat, it is built in a similar style
and can be reached in a two or three day trip from Siem Reap.
Analong
Veng
Analong Veng is situated nearly 83 miles (135 km) north
of Siem Reap, is home to some stark reminders of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge Genocide.
Here tourists can visit Ta Mok’s house and see the
artificial lake, which was constructed in the 1990’s. This place is reachable by
foot, just head north towards the mountains from the roundabouts in town and
the driveway will be on your right.
