Angkor Wat means "City Temple"

The highlight of the trip - Angkor Wat. It was also the 4th temple that we visited in a day. By then, we were all tired and parched. I had exhausted most of my energy at Bayon Temple. If there is a chance, I will like to visit Angkor Wat again.

Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
