In Part 1 of our Cambodia travel series, we explore this 900-year-old masterpiece at the spiritual heart of the ancient Khmer Empire. Our historical temple tour begins across the legendary Naga bridge, where we uncover the brilliant engineering secrets behind the massive water moat and ancient libraries. Heading deep inside the stone corridors of this Hindu and Buddhist complex, we marvel at the preserved Mahabharata stone carvings, the Ramayana Battle of Lanka bas-reliefs, and the sacred purification pools. We also locate the carvings of the 3,000 celestial Apsara dancers and explore the historic Hall of a Thousand Buddhas alongside the King Suryavarman II gallery. Finally, we climb the steep temple stairs to ascend the sacred Bakan Sanctuary, taking in the magnificent lotus-shaped towers while exploring the dual legacy of Lord Vishnu and Lord Buddha.
