Deep in the forests of northern Cambodia lies Koh Ker, a mysterious and majestic archaeological site that once served as the capital of the Khmer Empire. Built under King Jayavarman IV in the 10th century, this ancient city holds more than 180 sanctuaries, scattered across the jungle β€” many still being reclaimed by nature.

Its crown jewel is the awe-inspiring Prasat Thom, a 7-tiered pyramid temple unlike any other in Cambodia, rising dramatically above the treetops. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view over the dense forest β€” a view once reserved for kings.

Far less crowded than Angkor, Koh Ker offers a raw, adventurous, and sacred experience of Khmer history.
