Experience the Wonders of Angkor Wat
Begin your experience by touring the temple area with a professional tour guide while enjoying the view of the beautiful sunset view from one of the ancient walls. This is a special time of day to see the sun set over this iconic temple.
Angkor Wat is the largest religious structure in the world built in the 12th century in the Khmer Empire. Built by King Suryavarman II, it is a source of pride for the Khmer people.
See the impressive bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and portray the history of Khmer Empire. The bas-reliefs are nearly one kilometers long, and among the longest continuous bas-relief in the world.
Next, climb the stairs of the temple to the inner sanctuary of the temple, similar to the worshiper’s experience of the ancient pilgrimage. The stairs into the upper terrace become steeper, symbolizing that pilgrims were traversing from the earthly to the spiritual world. At the top, you will see the centre of Angkor Wat with its architecture and peaceful atmosphere. A special place that could remain with you for your entire life.
