Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat: The Practical Guide to Visiting Cambodia's Temple Complex

Angkor Archaeological Park covers 400 square kilometres with over 1,000 temple structures spread across terrain that takes four to five hours to traverse. Most visitors see five to eight key sites. The standard circuit takes a full day; the outer circuit adds another. Accomplishing it all in a few hours leaves the most interesting temples—Banteay Srei, Beng Mealea, Pre Rup—unseen and means missing what makes Angkor archaeologically distinct beyond Angkor Wat itself.
