Angkor Cambodia
The ancient capital of the Khmer kingdom,
Angkor
is a spectacular landscape of crumbling stone
reliefs, great towers, encroaching jungle roots,
orange-clad monks and spectacular sunset
reflections. Angkor is the most popular
destination in Cambodia by far, and one of the
most iconic and awe-inspiring sacred sites in
the world. Its central attraction, Angkor Wat,
is proudly featured on the Cambodian flag and it
is a major boost to the economy of the
recovering country. Stretching across some 400
sq km, including forests and jungles, Angkor
Archaeological Park contains the magnificent
remains of the Khmer Empire dating from the 9th
to the 15th century. Angkor Wat, is believed to
be the largest religious structure in the world,
and there are many other fascinating temples to
explore as well. Allow more than one day to see
Angkor — preferably several days to a week.
There are plenty of hotels, restaurants and
transportation to Angkor in the nearby city of
Siem Reap.
