Intro | Me at one of the gates, shaped like a cobra |
I don't usually say "Everyone needs to see this" about places I've been to. But Angkhor is an exception. It is incredible to see these huge temples built around 800-1000 years ago an covering 140 square miles. It tells the story of the mighty Khmer empire which I knew nothing about. I was told before going that nothing prepares you for this and I now agree. |

|  | Reliefs They stretch on and on, all with amazing detail |
| Monkeys can be found all over the area |
| | Jungle The temples are surrounded by jungle. I was told we weren't allowed to go off the paths because tigers and cobras are in the jungle. I had no problem with that:). |

Thanks for sharing this relatively unknown corner of the world. I have wondered what the temples at Angkhor looked like after reading about them on wikipedia. Lucky you to have made it there, my friend! | Eric-Sabin Wed Nov 2, 2005 19:17 UTC
looks heavenly ! | iwys Tue May 10, 2005 15:23 UTC
You are so right about Bakheng Hill. EVERYONE does seem to go there. Nice page. | pmarshuk Mon Mar 15, 2004 11:55 UTC
Great page. I agree it's a place everyone should see - but that might spoil it because of the overcrowding. Maybe we should be grateful we saw it before it becomes too touristy. |
