Beng Mealea is a captivating and sprawling temple ruin located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Often referred to as the "Jungle Temple," it is enveloped by thick forest and exudes a mystical, untouched charm. Built during the early 12th century under the reign of King Suryavarman II, Beng Mealea shares architectural similarities with the more famous Angkor Wat. However, unlike Angkor Wat, it remains largely unrestored, with trees and vines intertwined with the stone structures, creating a dramatic and picturesque scene.
