A World Heritage Site and the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat contains some of the greatest masterpieces of Khmer art and architecture in existence. Khmer emperor Suryavarman II had the temple built in the early 12th century, originally dedicating it to the Hindu god Vishnu. By the end of the century, the temple transformed into a Buddhist religious site, which it remains today. Tour the 162.6 hectare (402 acre) complex to see its fantastically detailed and well preserved stone temples. Wear clothes that cover your upper arms and legs down to the knees to adhere to the temple's visitor dress code. A visit to Angkor Wat represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Siem Reap online route maker to plot your vacation.

I think that, these kinds of places are meaningful to people because they are natural and people can be there alone, away from their everyday life. I used to go there to be alone or to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the clouds. I liked to go there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving.

All the temples are phenomenal but Angkor Wat one of the marvels of the world, just make sure you get to the top of the temple in good time to view the surroundings as we were a little rushed by the time we made it up there and couldn't quite soak in the spectacle of a massive temple being in a jungle. Also, feel there should be a tribute/recognition to the people, most likely slaves who built the place.

It was a beautiful experience to get Angkor Wat pretty much all to myself. Usually the entire place would be packed full of people, which takes away from the experience of absorbing the temples fully This is a perfect time for photographers and archaeologists and temple nuts like me to get stuck right in to the sheer immensity and beauty that is Angkor Wat. អរតុណ ❤️🙏🏼

It's honestly hard to describe the elegance and grandeur of the temple architecture. I would really recommend any tourists, who are planning to visit, to start early in the morning and reach in time for the sunrise. The view of the temple silhouette slowly being illuminated by the sun rays is a beautiful sight to see. Angkor Wat for me is one of the world's unofficial wonders. The sculptures, inscriptions and architecture which describes different eras from Hindu mythology are breathtaking. If you already know some of the stories, you can even play a small game where you can try identifying which story or scene is being depicted. Going to the temple complex and visiting all the places might take a week so I would recommend choosing 5-6 if you're visiting for a day.

Angkor Wat at the early morning (Sunrise) was amazing. Angkor Wat Temple is the largest religious in the world by land area of South East Asia. As the best-preserved temple at the site, Angkor Wat is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. Highly recommended to visit Angkor Wat. At Lest Once in life.
