Away from the bustle of the main Angkor temples sit the earlier Roluos temples, built by Indravarman I in the 9th century. Besides the innate beauty of the temples, the best part of visiting them is having the place to yourself, a welcome change from the crowds at the main temple location.
Approaching Bakong.
Looking down from Bakong, an active Buddhist monastery beyond. Cute elephant sculptures mark several corners of the pyramid shaped temple.
On to Preah Ko, a set of grand, red sandstone towers.
Preah Ko details, holy cow and plaster detail.
Restoration in progress, donation desk and the place to yourself.
