| Overview
Located six kilometers north of Siem Reap Angkor Wat is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. The temple's balance, its composition and beauty makes the lost city of Angkor one of the finest monuments in the world. In 1992, Angkor Wat was declared as a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
Travel tips
Touring the temples is a hot and sweaty job, so wear light, airy, covering clothing to protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. The sun can be intense so bring a hat, sunglasses and perhaps sunscreen. Consider buying a traditional Khmer scarf (krama) to keep the sun off your neck. Carry a raincoat during the wet season, though you will probably only need it in the afternoon. You should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours. Wear practical shoes for climbing narrow steps and walking on uneven surfaces.
