Koh Ker (Khmer ប្រាសាទកោះកេរ្ដិ៍, Brasat Kaôh Kértĕ) is a remote Buddhist archeological site in northern Cambodia about 75 miles (120 kms) from Siem Reap and the ancient site of Angkor (and Angkor Wat). It is a jungle-filled region that is sparsely populated. More than 180 sanctuaries have been found in a protected area of 31 square miles (81 square kms) [1]: 13. Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest and the whole area is not fully de-mined. Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer Empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapura ("City of Lingams") or Chok Gargyar [2]: 70 (translated as "City of Glance" [3] or as Iron Tree Forest) [1]: 8–9. More
