Highlights

➤ Angkor Wat:The world’s largest religious monument, Angkor Wat is a must-visit. Known for its majestic grandeur and intricate bas-reliefs depicting historical and mythological scenes, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu and later transformed into a Buddhist temple.

➤ Angkor Thom: This is a walled and moated royal city that was the last capital of the Khmer Empire. It is home to several key landmarks:

✶ Bayon Temple: Famous for its towering stone faces of Avalokiteshvara, which seem to watch over the entire city.

✶ Baphuon Temple: A huge three-tiered pyramid structure.

✶ The Terrace of the Elephants: A grand structure used by the king for public ceremonies and a place for royal processions.

✶ The Terrace of the Leper King: Known for its intricate carvings, it is another key landmark within Angkor Thom.

➤ Ta Prohm: Known for its appearance in the movie Tomb Raider, this temple is famous for the large tree roots that have intertwined with the ruins, giving it a unique and hauntingly beautiful look. It was built in the 12th century as a Buddhist monastery and university.

➤ Preah Khan: Another well-preserved temple that served as both a Buddhist monastery and a center of learning, Preah Khan is known for its grand entrance and detailed carvings. It's often less crowded than the main temples, giving visitors a more peaceful experience.

➤ Neak Pean: A small, but architecturally significant temple located on an island in a reservoir. It was built in the late 12th century and features a circular layout, symbolizing the Buddhist cosmology.

Protect Yourself from the Sun: Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. An umbrella can also provide portable shade.
