Angkor temples was one of unforgettable adventures in my life. While walking through these historical temples in the morning time, I was amazed at the splendid structures, ancient history and the ambiance of place. This place would offer you a view at each direction and make you realize the incredible capability of Khmer civilization.
Among all, one such memorable experience was visiting Bayon temple. As I was traversing through the long stone walkways between ancient architecture of Bayon Temple, I observed immense structures covered by those carved famous smiling stone faces. The engravings and aging stone structures reflect years of history, while the serene ambiance seemed taking you centuries ago. While looking at the ongoing preservation works reminded me the significance of preserving such a beautiful historic gem.
As the sun began rising in the sky at the top of Angkor Wat; was the one phenomenal sight I had ever seen. The sky transformed from darkness to vivid orange and pink shades and created a surreal panorama behind the temple. The glowing temple was perfectly mirrored in the calm water body which enhanced the view. I stood there for minutes while soaking myself into that peaceful ambiance and felt immensely grateful to witnesses the one of the greatest landmark in the world at the time when no one is there except the beauty.
On my journey while walked towards the Angkor Wat thru the stone causeway; I was really spellbound by the giant structures and fine architecture it has. All three magnificent tower stand against glowingly orange and pink skies, and kept popping out to snap photos from the various locations. I found those amazing craftsmanship at every stone, step, hall which I was looking forward.
The sun rays filtered through the clouds illuminating parts of the temples. And they fell upon the centuries old stones that made me feel some mystic and peaceful moment. This tour gave me the deep understanding about Cambodia's past history, rich culture and the heritage and its glorious ancient art and architecture and as I will cherish for ever. Angkor temple tour was a far from just visiting place it made feel connection of past.
Special thanks to my driver/tour guide.
