Bakong & Roluos Group Tuk-Tuk Tour – Explore the Earliest Khmer Temples

Step back in time to the 9th century and explore the Roluos Group, the earliest capital of the Khmer Empire. This tour takes you to the Bakong, Preah Ko, and Lolei temples, where you’ll witness the transition from brick sanctuaries to the grand temple-mountains that defined Angkor’s architecture.

Tour Highlights:

• Bakong Temple – The first temple-mountain built by the Khmer Empire, Bakong is a stunning, pyramid-like structure that laid the foundation for later temples like Angkor Wat. Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

• Preah Ko – Known as the “Sacred Bull Temple,” Preah Ko features intricately carved brick towers and statues dedicated to the ancestors of King Indravarman I.

• Lolei Temple – A small but historically significant temple, Lolei was once an island temple in a now-dry reservoir. Admire its detailed Sanskrit inscriptions and delicate carvings.

• Roluos Pagoda & Local Monastery – Experience the spiritual side of Cambodia by visiting an active monastery near Bakong, where monks continue the traditions of the ancient Khmer Empire.

• Scenic Countryside Drive – Enjoy a peaceful tuk-tuk ride through charming villages, rice fields, and lotus ponds, offering a glimpse into Cambodia’s rural life.
