A visitor to the Angkor Archaeological Park may be surprised to realise that the Park contains numerous temples widely spaced over a large area with many undergoing restoration or repair. As construction activity such as scaffolding and cranes can detract from some sights the following four temples are in my view the best to see at this time. Firstly the...

Owner description:
Angkor Wat, in its beauty and state of preservation, is unrivaled. Its mightiness and magnificence bespeak a pomp and a luxury surpassing that of a Pharaoh or a Shah Jahan, an impressiveness greater than that of the Pyramids, an artistic distinctiveness as fine as that of the Taj Mahal.

One of our stops through Asia was a visit to Siem Reap. Honestly, I had low expectations, but when we actually arrived there we were blown away. It's just surreal to find yourself standing there and actually be able to climb up the steps and see the original stone itself. Unlike Chitchen Iza (Mexico) you can still walk up and...

Most unique complex of temples that I have ever visited. Well worth the time and effort to spend at least 2 or 3 days exploring such a great world wonder.

If you came to Siem Reap this must be why you came. Huge but I think a little less interesting than some of the other smaller sites like Ta Prohm or Bayon

If you're a beginner who visited few countries - you will love it. However, if you're experienced traveller, been to Machu Picchu and other great places, you will be disappointed. Avoid organised tours, rent a tuk tuk and go by yourself.

we went here for sunrise, paddle our bicycle with eyes half-open 5 in the morning just to see how sunshine pour gold from angkor wat's tip to its floor. did it worth? yes! only, 5am is consider late, there already people with good spot for the sunrise which i so believe they must have slept there just for the sunrise!

We came here at around 5am for the sunrise, but unfortunately it was a cloudy morning and we couldn't see it. Even at that time of the day the place is filled with tourists and shop owners trying to get you to have breakfast at their stall (they later get replaced with scarf, fridge magnet and travel book sellers).
Never...

Very ancient and majestic temple of Angkor Wat. Part of many temples in one location. I was using a tour provided by the hostel and we were using a car to travel around the temples because the locations are quite far from each other. Very recommended place to visit.

On the first visit to Angkor Wat, you may think it is one temple and that isn't correct. The Angkor temples are a vast temple complex and Angkor Wat is just one of many temples. Angkor Wat is located just north of Siem Reap and it was only about 3 km from our hotel. The ruins can spread nearly two...

much cooler and less people at sunrise, quite spectacular, large area to cover, wear good shoes and take water. We went around by tuktuk which was fun.
