Angkor Wat

The temples of Angkor are the heart and soul of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The ruins of Angkor are in a class of their own: there is no other historical site in Southeast Asia that matches their grandeur. Your first glimpse of Angkor Wat is a breathtaking experience, matched only by a few places on earth. However, as Cambodia is more than its temples, Angkor is more than its wat. There are many temples and religious buildings scattered across a wide area around Siem Reap. Most notably are; the enigmatic and intimidating faces watching over the Bayon inside Angkor Thom; the devouring might of the jungle eating its way through Ta Prohm; and the demure beauty of Banteay Srei, host to Cambodia's finest carving. Angkor Wat is one of the most impressive sights on earth. One cannot fail to be moved by the sheer grace and majesty of Angkor Wat: the sublime unity of its five towers, the delicate and intricate sculpture that decorates the lower walls, and the sheer size of the temple complex, widely believed to be the world's largest religious building. Angkor Wat is simply unique, a stunning blend of spirituality and symmetry. It is also the best-preserved temple at Angkor .
