]]> Cambodia has so much to offer and if you’ve never considered visiting this Asian country perhaps you should. Its rich culture and heritage will mesmerize you as soon as you land. Here are three reasons why it should absolutely be on your bucket list.

Angkor Wat

Buddhist temple Angkor Wat is the biggest religious monument in the world and one of the things that attract the most people to Cambodia. It dates back to the 12th century and includes numerous structures and monuments.

Islands

The islands of Thailand may be more popular, but Cambodia’s islands are unrightfully underrated. They aren’t too crowded and you can enjoy a more authentic experience on islands like Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem, Koh Thmei, etc.

Jungle

Head to the Cardamom Mountains if you want to experience one of the richest wildlife places in Southeast Asia. The tropical jungle was not a popular tourist destination until recently, but now there are numerous tours anyone can take as companies include camping, hiking, cycling, and even kayaking packages.

Ta Prohm Temple

This temple is located in Siem Reap, a short ride away from Angkor Wat. It’s one of the most visited tourist attractions in this region, best known for the trees growing out of the ruins. If you think this temple looks straight out of an action movie, that’s probably because you had a chance to see it in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise.

Bayon Temple

Located about three kilometers away from Angkor Wat, Bayon is another temple you shouldn’t miss during your visit to this area. Its most striking feature is the gigantic stone faces, known for their smiling, serene expressions.

Banteay Srei

This 10th-century Cambodian temple can be found 30 km away from Angkor Wat. It’s dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, and it’s popular with tourists thanks to its red sandstone structure and elaborate decorative wall carvings.

Banteay Srei definitely sets itself apart from other Angkor temples. It’s small, delicate, and has the most intricate carvings of all. It’s made of red sandstone, and that creates a distinctive look. This 10th century Hindu temple is dedicated to Shiva and built in honour of female deities. For this reason, it is often referred to as “the lady temple”. … The temple lies in a really nice and tranquil location, surrounded by nature, and quite far from the main cluster of temples – 30km north-east of Angkor Wat. It's very popular though, with tour groups in particular.

]]> Angkor Wat is one of Cambodia’s most popular attractions and the largest religious monument in the world. This ancient temple attracts thousands of tourists every day, but there’s still a lot most people don’t know about this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Facing West

Unlike other temples in the region, Angkor Wat is facing west, probably as a way of establishing the superiority of Vishnu, the Hindu deity it was dedicated to.

Three Tiers

It’s not a coincidence that this religious monument comes with the three towering tiers. Each one has spiritual meaning, and they’re dedicated to Vishnu, the moon, and Brahma – the creator god in Hinduism.

Building Process

Angkor Wat was a true architectural feat when it was built back in the 12th century, and the vegetable compound was used during its construction to bond bricks together.

Mysterious Carvings

The amazing carving adorning its walls is one of Angkor Wat’s signature traits. One of them is very reminiscent of a stegosaurus, but cynics believe it probably depicts a boar or a rhino.

Underground City

There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding Angkor Wat, and according to research published in The Guardian, there’s an entire network of ancient cities sitting underneath.

Temples of Angkor

Cambodia is the home to the biggest religious monument in the world. This fascinating building called Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century and it was originally a Hindu Temple. However, with time it transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was featured in the world-famous movie Tomb Raider.

The Southern Island

Cambodia’s southern islands are a tropical Shangri-La many travelers are seeking. Although still untouched by the mega-resorts that have sprouted across southern Thailand, many of the islands have been tagged for major development by well-connected foreign investors. Visit Koh Rong that is known for its sandy coves and coral reefs.
