Are temple entrance fees included in the price?

Entrance fees are not listed as included in this tour. Budget for additional costs at the gate and confirm the current fee amounts when booking.

What should I wear to the temples?

Both Koh Ker and Beng Mealea enforce a dress code: shoulders, back, and knees must be covered. Bring a scarf or light layer to wrap around if needed — or simply wear modest clothing from the start.

Where exactly does the tour start?

The tour starts with a hotel pickup in Siem Reap at 8:00 AM. You do not need to travel to a central meeting point — your transfer comes to you.

Can I bring young children on this tour?

Children under 3 years old are welcome at no charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. Older children are welcome; check the ticket options for child pricing.

How long is the full day, and how much time is spent travelling?

The tour runs from 8:00 AM to approximately 4:30 PM. Koh Ker is roughly 1.5 hours from Siem Reap, so expect a reasonable amount of driving alongside your time at the temples.

Is the itinerary guaranteed?

The order and timing of stops may be adjusted due to weather or traffic conditions, though both temple sites are always included.
