This small temple is about 4.5 km from Angkor Wat and is not one of the main tourist areas of Angkor because tour buses do not reach the place. ES is not so crowded and there is enough space to explore the temple of King Jayavarman VII with our guide.
4
Before visiting the most famous temple complex called Angkor Wat, our driver will take you to Ta Prohm. The “Jungle Temple” built by Jayavarman VII in honor of his mother. The temple was practically swallowed by the jungle. The impressive Bayon architecture blends with the tropical forest. The unforgettable setting was made famous by the movie “Lara Croft : Tomb Raider” starring Angelina Jolie. ES is an unforgettable sight as nature takes on a former civilization. Definitv a highlight of the day tour in Angkor Wat.
