Itinerary
Architectural size World's Greatest Religious Monument: Originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, it was later transformed into a Buddhist temple. Perfect Symmetry and Scale: Its layout represents Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. Impressive Central Towers: The five central towers symbolize the five summits of Mount Meru.
Bayon Temple, located in the heart of Angkor Thom in Cambodia, is one of the most iconic and richly decorated temples in the Angkor complex. Built at the end of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, it is best known for its mysterious and serene stone faces as well as its detailed bas-reliefs The gigantic stone faces** The most striking feature of Bayon Temple is the multitude of massive faces carved into its towers. There are more than 200, each with a sweet smile and closed eyes, supposed to represent Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) or a resemblance to the king himself. These enigmatic faces give the temple an atmosphere of calm and spirituality.
Temple aesthetics in the jungle Ta Prohm is famous for being invaded by huge tree roots — notably those of the kapokier and strangler fig — that wind through the stone ruins. The interaction between nature and architecture gives it a mysterious, almost supernatural atmosphere. Preserved in its "natural state" Unlike other restored temples, Ta Prohm was largely left as it was discovered, with minimal reconstruction.

About Siem Reap
Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.
Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
