Angkor Wat: Angkor Wat, the largest monument of the Angkor group and the best preserved, is an architectural masterpiece. Its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, reliefs and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the world. Temple: Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of ‘the kingdom of

the trees‘ and our favourite temple. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of

further deterioration. Temple: The Bayon Temple, also known as the 'Temple of Beaming Faces‘ is a mountain temple built to represent Mount Meru, the centre of the universe in both Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. A huge face and other carved head images are visible at the top of the south gate tower of the beautiful Bayon Temple. Banteay Kdei is a mysterious temple. There is no record of why it was built—or by whom—because no marker stone with that information has ever been found. The sprawling, largely unrestored, monastic complex is built in the same style as Ta Prohm.

Phnom Kulen National Park Kulen is considered by Khmers to be the most sacred mountain in Cambodia and it is a popular place for domestic visitors during weekends and festivals. On the hilltop there are 56 Angkorian temples made of bricks and volcanic stones, but most of them are badly in poor condition. Price indicator: Ticket for the Angkor complex is USD 40,- p.P. for 3 days or USD 60,- for 7 days Transport: most temples within Angkor Wat complex are free with your Navutu Dreams Tuk Tuk driver. Kulen Mountains with driver/guide could be arranged by the hotel. (around USD 100,- per car)

We have visited more than 10 temples during our stay in Angkor Wat. Some more images on the next page Cambodia Sightseeing Siem Reap
