Overview
Angkor Wat, located in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia, is a famous temple complex. Built during the Khmer Dynasty, the temple was earlier dedicated to Lord Vishnu but gradually transformed into a Buddhist Monastery by the end of the twelfth century.

This short tour gives you the opportunity to soak in the glory of Angkor Wat and Cambodia’s glorious past.
