Angkor Wat
Cambodian Fact – Angkor Wat, a world heritage site, is the largest religious site in the world. It started out as a Hindu Temple built by Suryavarman II, an Indian ruler, in the first half of the 12th century. It later became and remains today a Buddhist temple. The name, Angkor Wat, is a modern derivative of the Cambodian “Nokor Wat” which translates as “City of Temple Grounds.” The site itself is huge and requires a good set of legs and walking shoes to explore. (plus a walking stick in many areas over the rough terrain.)
Many other smaller temples dot the landscape all over this area and actually for a few hundred years many of these temples were lost to the ‘jungle.’
