Koh Ker, Beng Mealea, and the Roluos Group temples

Koh Ker
Koh Ker was the capital of the Khmer Empire for a brief period (928-944 AD). It is located about 120 kilometers northeast of Angkor. The site is known for its unique pyramid-shaped temple, Prasat Thom, which rises 36 meters high. The area has over 180 temples, though many are still overgrown with jungle.

Beng Mealea
Beng Mealea is a temple located 40 kilometers east of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century under King Suryavarman II. It is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its ruins, giving it a mystical, untamed feel. Its layout is similar to Angkor Wat but on a smaller scale.

Roluos Group
The Roluos Group is a collection of temples about 13 kilometers east of Siem Reap. These temples were built in the late 9th century and are among the earliest large-scale stone temples of the Khmer Empire. The main temples in this group are:
- Bakong: A pyramid temple mountain dedicated to Shiva, serving as a prototype for later temples.
- Preah Ko: Known for its three towers adorned with sandstone carvings.
- Lolei: Built on an island in a now-dry baray (reservoir), featuring intricate carvings and inscriptions.
