Hi, my name is Lysing, and I have a diverse role within the company. I handle content creation for our social media channels, and I also provide support for various jeep tours. Specifically, I manage the logistics for special jeep tours that involve a large number of jeeps. In my blog below I will describe why the mystery temple tour is Cambodia’s best-Kept Secret.
Cambodia’s Best-Kept Secret: The Mystery Temple Tour
On 9 September 2025, I joined the Mystery Temple Tour. I was very excited because this tour is known for both temples and adventure. It turned out to be a wonderful experience that I will always remember. Our first stop was at a quiet pagoda. The place was calm, with golden statues, paintings, and the sound of birds. Local people came to pray, and it was interesting to see their traditions. Visiting this pagoda gave me a peaceful feeling before starting the rest of the journey. After that, we visited six more temples hidden in the countryside. Each temple was different. Some were covered by big tree roots, almost lost to nature. Others were still standing strong, showing the beautiful work of ancient builders. Walking through these places felt like stepping back in time. I imagined what life was like hundreds of years ago, when these temples were full of people and activity.
Why I love the green season in Cambodia:
Getting to the temples was not easy. September is rainy season or we call it The Green Season in Cambodia, and the roads were muddy and full of water. Our vintage jeep had to cross puddles, streams, and slippery tracks. At one point, the mud was too deep, and the jeep got stuck. For a moment we all wondered what to do, but then everyone worked together. We found a tree branch, placed it under the wheel, and pushed. It was hard work, and we got wet and muddy, but soon the jeep moved forward again. We all laughed and cheered when it was free. That teamwork made the adventure even more fun. The countryside itself was beautiful. Along the way, I saw green rice fields, tall palm trees, and small villages. Children waved and smiled as our jeep passed. The mix of temples, nature, and village life made the journey feel special and very real. It was not just about history but also about seeing everyday life in Cambodia.
The mystery temples
The most interesting part of this tour are the unknown temples. These temples are not famous like Angkor Wat. They are hidden and less visited. I cannot tell the names—they remain secret. This makes the tour feel like a true discovery, something only a few people get to see. If you want to explore these mystery temples, Cambodia Jeep can take you there. The team knows the routes, the history, and how to handle the off-road adventure. The vintage jeeps are strong enough for the muddy roads, and the guides make the trip safe and enjoyable. Without them, it would be almost impossible to reach these hidden temples.
As the day ended, the sun began to set. The light turned golden, shining on the trees and temples. It was the perfect way to finish the tour. I felt tired but very happy. The Mystery Temple Tour gave me everything in one trip: culture, history, nature, and adventure. Looking back, I remember the peaceful pagoda, the six hidden temples, the moment we got stuck in the water, and the smiles of the villagers. All of these experiences together made the tour unforgettable.
For those who love temples and adventure
If you enjoy history, this tour is for you. If you like adventure, it is also for you. And if you want both, then the Mystery Temple Tour is the perfect choice. It is not only a sightseeing trip—it is a story you will live and later share with your friends and family. So if you come to Siem Reap and want something different from the usual tourist path, I recommend the Mystery Temple Tour with Cambodia Jeep. You will explore hidden temples, enjoy a real off-road experience, and take home memories that will last forever.
