- Angkor Wat - South side and 3rd Level, Siem Reap
(Angkor Wat - it is the largest religious site in the world. Just saying its name brings up images of grandeur, of architecture that is uniquely Khmer, with its towers resembling the lotus-buds. What a privilege to be walking in this temple, built by King Suryavarman in 1130AD over a 30-year period. We took to the steep 20 odd steps leading to the 3rd Level for the first time. And what views indeed - seeing the symbolic Mount Meru up close, the tallest tower in the middle. Just imagine the skill and craftsmanship that went into building this massive temple. Watch the video below, as we walked into the south side of Angkor Wat)
