Ta Keo

Ta Keo is a temple located within the Angkor Archaeological Park. It is distinguished as the first Khmer temple constructed entirely from sandstone. Travelers visit this site to observe its tiered, pyramid-like architecture and the precision of its stone masonry.

Getting There

The temple is located in the Angkor area, accessible from Siem Reap city centre. Most visitors reach the site via tuk-tuk or hired vehicle. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in the city.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 45 to 90 minutes to explore the structure and climb the steep stairs to the upper levels.

Timing Your Visit

To avoid the highest temperatures and the largest crowds, visit in the early morning. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season from November to February. Because the temple is built of sandstone and lacks significant shade, midday visits can be intensely hot.

Nearby Attractions

Due to its location, this site can be combined with several other nearby temples to minimize travel time:

  • Chau Say Tevoda (0.5km)
  • Spean Thma (0.5km)
  • Thommanon (0.6km)
  • Ta Nei (0.9km)
