Angkor Wat is the largest religious structure in the world; an architectural and spiritual wonder built more than a thousand years ago by 50,000 artisans with 4,000 elephants over a 40 year period. (Yep, an astounding fact!)
Our trip highlighted the epic proportion of Angkor Wat symbolizing man’s creative ability, spiritual devotion and the peak of ambition. To see the wide expanse of the Angkor grounds would require more than a week, but the top sites (main temples) can be seen in three days. Anything less is not just sacrilege (as most will tell you), but also requires an unearthly amount of stamina, and resilience against the oppressive heat!
