Siem Reap, Angkor Temples

With some of the Kingdom’s finest hotels, brightest culinary stars and most enchanting countryside excursions, it’s no surprise that Siem Reap is the country’s most-visited destination. But no trip to this city of contrasts is complete without a visit to the ancient splendour of Angkor.

Where to visit and things to do?

Discover the most famous is the iconic Angkor Wat, said to be the world’s largest single religious monument. Be sure to visit Angkor Thom’s magnificent Bayon Temple, which features large, beautifully-carved faces, and magical Ta Prohm, where trees have become entwined in the ruins, their branches winding through doorways and over roofs.
Don’t miss the outer lying temples of the Rolous Group and the beautiful pink sandstone Banteay Srei. To complete your experience, take a boat trip on Tonle Sap Lake – the area’s lifeline – to visit stilt houses and floating villages.
Witness the hundred-year olds “Royal Ballet or Apsara Dance”

Siem Reap's Surroundings (Day Trip)

Go beyond Siem Reap’s limits and goes on into the ancient forest where the only sounds are those of the leaves falling and birds calling and discover the remote temples that give a very ‘Indiana Jones’ feel to the experience: the mysterious and overgrown temple of Beng Mealea, the pyramid Koh Ker temple, the sacred Kulen Mountain, the heavenly temple of Preah Vihear etc.
