Situated approximately 120 from Siem Reap, Koh Ker stands as one of Cambodia’s special archaeological constructions of the Khmer people.

Sam Osmanagich, one of the explorers to Koh Ker commented: “After I saw many temples, I arrived at the conclusion that the Koh Ker pyramid is the only true pyramid on Cambodian land. It seems that it has nothing in common with the other pyramidal temples, largely decorated with Hindu symbols.” This temple gives not only him but also other visitors a unique sensation of the architecture. Here, the architect carefully designed the structure, water surfaces, and water channels in an appropriate way, so that the whole pyramid could balance itself even in the worst weather condition.

Therefore, you must come here once in your lifetime to reveal all of the mystery in this outstanding construction.
