An architectural specimen of the Khmer’s stunning building style difficult to overcome. You are enchanted by Angkor and with the roots that have penetrated everywhere in the temple, it becomes significantly mysterious and historic. It is extremely beautiful – nature and the moat dug into Angkor Wat in a captivating way. The temple is reflected in the moat that winds its way around the temple – it gives a magical impression.

Angkor Wat was built by King Suryvarman II

It is said that it took 37 years to build Angkor Wat by the king Suryvarman II, which died before it was finished, which explains why the temple is not finished. With the help of 300,000 workers and 6,000 elephants, the temple was built by hand. Dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu but later handed over to the Buddhism. The monks are part of everyday life in Angkor Wat today. It is so beautiful, peaceful and captivating – it is an experience that you will not forget.

Frequently asked questions about Angkor Wat

What is the history of Angkor Wat and why is it so significant?

Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious monument and was built in the 12th century during the height of the Khmer Empire:

  • Originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu
  • Later transformed into a Buddhist temple, which it remains today
  • Part of the wider Angkor Archaeological Park, home to hundreds of temples
  • A UNESCO World Heritage Site and Cambodia’s most important historical landmark
    Angkor Wat is renowned for its sophisticated architecture, detailed bas-reliefs, and its central role in Southeast Asian history.
When is the best time of year to visit Angkor Wat?

Angkor Wat can be visited year-round, but some seasons are more favorable:

  • November to February – the most popular period, with cooler temperatures and dry weather
  • March to May – hotter months, but generally fewer visitors
  • June to October – the green season, with lush landscapes and a calmer atmosphere
    Early morning visits, especially at sunrise, offer cooler temperatures and one of the most iconic views of Angkor Wat.
How can a travel agency help when planning a trip to Angkor Wat?

Visiting Angkor Wat is far more rewarding with expert planning and local insight:

  • Private guides who bring the history and symbolism of the temples to life
  • Carefully planned itineraries to avoid peak crowds and manage walking distances
  • Seamless combinations with other destinations in Cambodia or Southeast Asia
  • Practical guidance on timing, cultural etiquette, and entry passes
    A specialized travel agency ensures a well-paced, meaningful, and fully tailored experience, where Angkor Wat becomes a true highlight rather than a rushed stop.
