Koh Ker gears up for tourism

By Tracey Shelton and Kang Chan Amrak

On a dusty deserted road edged with landmine warning signs, 100 km from the tourist hub of Siem Reap, the ruins of the Koh Ker temples are getting ready for visitors.

The temples have been hidden in the jungle, too far off the beaten track for most tourists, for years.

Archaeological preservation group Heritage Watch estimates that only about 2,200 visitors a year, mostly locals, come to see the secluded ruins.

But since the Apsara Authority took over control of the Koh Ker temple area this year, the dirt road to the temples has been undergoing an upgrade and preservation work on the 42 temples has begun.

The first phase of the restoration is expected to be finished by the end of this year.
