A private guided exploration of one of the world's great wonders. The Angkor Wat temple complex was built in the early 12th century but was popularised in the West only in the mid-19th century on the publication of Henri Mouhot's travel notes, "One of these temples—a rival to that of Solomon, and erected by some ancient Michelangelo—might take an honourable place beside our most beautiful buildings. It is grander than anything left to us by Greece or Rome." You'll be amazed at the hundreds and hundreds of sculptures and the sheer scale of this epic ruined metropolis. Requiring several days and a car to see the miles of different temples and buildings, the sheer size is overwhelming. A superb adventure with private guides and the hassle free comfort of Kensington's 24/7 support. Enjoy as an extension to another tour or a stand-alone vacation.

Angkor Wat itself, built AD 879-1191 to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, is often hailed as one of the most extraordinary architectural creations ever built, with its intricate bas reliefs, strange acoustics and magnificent soaring towers.
