Kampong Khleang – Floating Village &Beng Mealea- The Jungle

Discover the rural villages in and around Tonle Sap Lake on a private excursion from Siem Reap. Take a boat ride on the lake as you head towards the Kompong Khleang floating village and learn about daily life in the fishing community. Then head into the jungle to explore the Beng Mealea Temple where many movies were filmed, including the 2004 film ““Two Brothers,”” before heading back to Siem Reap.

Kampong Khleang is located on the northern lake-edge about 55 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less tourist than Kampong Pluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In wet season the waters rise up to one or two meters of the buildings. Like Kompong Pluk, Kompong Khleang is a permanent community within the flood plain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kompong Khleang is significantly larger with nearly 10 times the population of Kompong Pluk, making it the largest community on the Lake.

It was built as hinduist temple, but there are some carvings depicting buddhist motifs[1]. 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. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site, as it is 77 km from Siem Reap by road.
