Angkor

The Angkor complex spans over 400 square kilometers, containing numerous stone temples, water reservoirs, and ancient urban infrastructure in various states of preservation.

The site marks the location of multiple capitals of the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 15th centuries, when over one million inhabitants lived within its boundaries.

The temples of Angkor showcase the evolution from Hindu to Buddhist religious practices through architectural designs, sculptures, and detailed stone carvings on walls.

The archaeological park requires different types of entrance passes, with options ranging from single-day access to week-long exploration permits.

The local water management system includes massive reservoirs called barays, artificial channels, and moats that supported agriculture and daily life.
