Angkor Wat, Siem Reap: Cambodia’s Timeless Wonder

#cambodiatrip 📍 Address: Angkor Archaeological Park, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world and the crown jewel of Cambodia. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II as a temple to Vishnu, it later became a Buddhist site. With its soaring towers, endless bas-reliefs, and moat-surrounded grandeur, Angkor Wat is both a spiritual symbol and a masterpiece of Khmer architecture. ✨ Tips: • Arrive before sunrise to witness the iconic silhouette reflected in the moat—one of the most breathtaking views in Asia. • Dress modestly—shoulders and knees should be covered to enter temple sanctuaries. • Hire a licensed local guide or audio tour to better understand the temple’s history and hidden symbolism. • Allow at least 2–3 hours to explore thoroughly, especially the central tower and the epic bas-reliefs. • Bring water, sunscreen, and good walking shoes—it’s a large site with uneven stone paths. #angkorwat #siemreap #cambodianwonder #khmerarchitecture #sunriseatangkor #unescoworldheritage #sacredtemples #angkoradventure #historiccambodia #templerunasia#localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip
