Angkor Wat (Angkor temple) is the central feature of the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site containing the magnificent remains of the Khmer civilization. Angkor Wat's rising series of five towers culminates in an impressive central tower that symbolizes mythical Mount Meru. Thousands of feet of wall space are covered with intricate carving depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. There are few places anywhere on earth to match the splendour of Angkor Wat. The temple is one of the largest monuments to religion ever built and is truly one the wonders of the world. Angkor Thom is the magnificent inner royal city that was built by the end of the 12th century and is renowned for its temple grounds and towering southern gate. Trace the history of the ancient Khmer empire through four centuries of monuments on this fascinating tour.
