TREASURES OF THE KHMER EMPIRE

Just outside Cambodia’s Siem Reap, a unique and thrilling adventure awaits you in the jungles of Angkor, where you can uncover the rich history and grand architecture of the Khmer Empire. Obscured by dense vegetation for centuries, the glorious temples of Angkor comprise one of the world’s largest religious monuments. The most famous is the enormous Angkor Wat, whose soaring walls are covered with intricate bas-relief carvings. You will also pass through the imposing gates of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, to explore the renowned Bayon Temple.

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the temple complex reveals fascinating insights into the Khmer civilisation’s philosophies, customs and religious beliefs, from their understanding of astronomy to their Gods.
