Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious monument and the pride of Cambodia. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, this magnificent temple complex was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu and later became a sacred Buddhist site.
The temple is famous for its grand towers, intricate stone carvings, and stunning bas-reliefs that tell stories from Hindu epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Its layout reflects the Hindu concept of the universe, making it not only an architectural wonder but also a spiritual symbol.
Visitors often come at sunrise to witness the iconic reflection of Angkor Wat on the lotus-filled pond — one of the most breathtaking sights in the world. Whether you explore its long galleries, climb its steep stairways, or simply admire the view, Angkor Wat offers an unforgettable journey into Cambodia’s rich history and culture.
