You push off from Siem Reap before the day’s heat, tires whispering on shaded dirt as the jungle presses close and ancient stone peeks through fig roots. The path snakes past rice paddies and weathered faces carved into Bayon towers, the trees framing the ruins like a knowing audience.

History
Angkor was the political and religious center of the Khmer Empire from roughly the 9th–15th centuries; Angkor Wat is a 12th-century Hindu — later Buddhist — temple complex commissioned by Suryavarman II.
Conservation
Visitors should stay on marked paths, avoid touching carvings and support local guides; tourism revenue funds conservation but visitor numbers and humidity accelerate stone erosion.
