•Highlights: Jungle, nature, Hindu river carvings, waterfall, architecture, countryside

Put on your walking shoes and discover the Cambodian jungle! Hidden from the beaten track lies Kbal Spean with the “River of Thousand Lingas” and an impressive waterfall. To get to the top of Kbal Spean and appreciate the intricately carved stone river bed you have to conquer a fairly steep incline, but fear not – the path is well worn and the biggest obstacles and boulders are accessible by series of well maintained wooden staircases, yet at least medium level of fitness is required for this 3km jungle walk.

Once in a complete state of disrepair, our next stop - Beng Mealea, has now been made more accessible. Recently built wooden platform snakes around the inner part of the temple allowing you an elevated view of the moss-clad jigsaw puzzle. This mid 12th century temple features mixture of Buddhism and Hinduism attributes and is particularly mesmerising in the wet season.
