Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and is the largest religious monument in the world, on a site measuring 162.6 hectares. Originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, it was gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century as such it is also described as a "Hindu-Buddhist" temple. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation.
Lunch Break

Angkor Thom
It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north. It is also a very big tourist attraction, and people come from all over the world to see it.
Ta Prohm
Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is one of the most visited complexes in Cambodia’s Angkor region.

“ Good quality guide ”
Our guide was Mr Veurn. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great information about all the sites. Importantly for us, he was also very accommodating in tailoring itineraries to our needs(we wanted early starts and early finish due to the heat) and to our interests.

“ Fabulous day learning about the history of the Temples ”
If you are looking to book a tour for Angkor Wat please don’t hesitate. Sarak is extremely knowledgeable about the history of all temples and the history of Indo-China and the Khmer. He speaks perfect English and the air conditioned car with chilled towels are a delight…didn’t think we needed them…boy were they a nice bonus…it gets hot out there. Most importantly he is extremely flexible and listens to you and will make changes accordingly. There are many options available…however the knowledge, stories and making the temples come alive were indispensable….worth every penny and a lot more. Please do yourself a favor and book , you can’t do any better!
