In the middle of the woods, this 11th century sanctum, which was vastly unexplored and very well preserved until the French colonized this place, will readily take you to the ancient world. The Angkor is a religious monument, with a mythical charm and awesome details. Ever since it was constructed and till date stands tall and plush, it has been in use. Depicting the beautiful Apsaras and other flowy details, the carvings are still clean, although originally made of sandstone. There is a moat surrounding the entire monument. Certainly, there is a temple etiquette that tourists have to follow. In the early mornings, the place is swarmed with tourists, glowing of the magnificent rising sun, breathing and soaking in the freshness.
Even though this temple is open throughout the year, December to February, when the weather is cool and dry then, is the most favorable time to visit. Tours in Cambodia
