    Beng Mealea is a sprawling temple complex that dates back to the 12th century. It is located about 40 kilometers east of the main Angkor area. The temple is often referred to as the “jungle temple” due to the dense jungle vegetation that surrounds and intertwines with its ancient stone structures. It was built as a Hinduist temple, but there are some carvings depicting Buddhist motifs.
