One of the most spectacular sites in Southeast Asia are the Temples of Angkor. Dating back many hundreds of years, these jungle fortresses are as impressive as the Pyramids in Giza or the Colosseum in Rome. I’ve been sitting at the computer for a long while now, trying to find some way to describe them but I’m having a very difficult time. I could throw some adjectives like “majestic”, “stunning” and “awe-inspiring”, but that just wouldn’t do them justice. I could tell you that I could easily spend hours staring at the beautiful, serene faces of Bayon, but that simply wouldn’t do either. How could I possibly describe the delicate detail of Banteay Srei? I’ll have to let the photos do the talking for me (more photos in the gallery). With that said, a photo cannot capture the grandeur or beauty of such a place.

Most people see the temples by taking a tour bus, taxi, moto or tuk-tuk from Siem Reap. Would you be surprised to hear that we think the most enchanting way to see them is on bicycle?

Thank You. I find it difficult to photograph places like Angkor, it’s hard to do a place like this justice. Hurry up and post the remaining photos of your trip to the Middle East. Can’t wait to see them!
