A visit to Siem Reap is never complete if you don’t visit the world renowned Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temple consists of five main towers and is specially designed to symbolize Mount Meru – home of the Gods in Hindu Mythology. Here, you can find the remains from the Khmer civilizations and the temple is the epitome of Khmer architecture.


Do also drop by Angkor Thom which is located just one kilometer from Angkor Wat. Angkor Thom is actually made up of numerous temples with the Bayon temple as the main temple. There is also a palace area located just to the north of Bayon temple and it was previously used during King Suryavarman I’s reign.


Head on to Banteay Srei temple and see for yourself the amazing Khmer architecture. Explore the grounds of the temple and be startled by the 1000-year old carvings on the three towers.


The Tonle Sap Lake, the largest fresh water lake in South East Asia, flows right through the middle of the town. At this lake, you can see ordinary Cambodians going about their daily routine of life.
