A Distant Trip of Outrageous Explorers into Abbys of Mystery: Angkor Outer Temples

#asiatrip Outer temples are several complexes located within a day trip from the historical park of Angkor, the center of which is the ancient city of Angkor Thom. These include temples such as Beng Melia, Bantey Srei, the Roluos group, Kbal Spin and nearby Phnom Kulen, Koh Ker, as well as a couple of less popular temples due to their greater remoteness – Pre Vihea and far Pre Kan (the namesake of the near Pre Kan located next to Angkor Thom). Tourists are practically not taken to the last two, but if there is a great desire and opportunity, I think we can negotiate. Of course, this is not a complete list of ancient Khmer buildings, but these are the most interesting and visited by tourists.
