Beng Mealea is one of the temples that take some time to visit. It is an hours drive outside Siem Reap city on the way to Kulen Mountain.
The Lotus Pond Temple, Prasat Beng Mealea, was build around the same time as Angkor Wat, but nearly seventy kilometres away. It is near the sacred Kulen Mountain. It is a large temple, and the last few years it has been heavily renovated. The accessibility both to the temple itself and inside it has been upgraded as well.
Refreshing green season
We where a group of visitors seeking shelter for a sudden downpour. Visiting Cambodia in green season means some short downpours morning or afternoon. And this was morning mid-September.
A small bridge-like shelter over a small river leading into a small lake was suddenly filled up. By visitors in different levels of soaked. And their guides. And some locals from the stalls selling food and drinks nearby.
We were all under visual scrutiny by this local girl.
Whether it was the general appearance of slightly soaked foreigners, or the typical curiosity Khmer children often have, is a mystery. But she did a perfect pose for a portrait.
Potential World Heritage
The Lotus Pond Temple was added to the list of tentative World Heritage Sites in 2020.
To visit Beng Mealea you need a separate ticket if you do not have the Angkor main pass. A daytrip here will often include a visit to Phnom Kulen, the river, waterfall and the Reclining Buddha, and highly recommended the beautiful temple Banteay Srei.
And meeting some nice locals.

The Valle Vidal is a 100,000-acre, high-elevation alpine basin in New Mexicoβs Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It is spectacular, from the winding oxbow ribbon of Rio Costilla to the vast, open valleys. Part of the Carson National Forest, the area serves as a crucial habitat for the stateβs largest elk herd and offers year-round outdoor recreation, like hiking, camping, and fishing.

Rio Grande gorge from the Taos overlook. The gorge is a 50-mile-long canyon through a thick layer of volcanic basalt. It is a beautiful, popular destination for camping, hiking, rafting & fly fishing.

The Immaculate Conception Church in Tres Piedras was built in 1900. The original adobe had a pitched metal roof and wooden belfry. A metal roof was added, and a vestibule was added to the front several decades later.
