Angkor Wat is an amazing place! The temple, the long galleries of detailed bas-relief carvings, the steep stairs, the history!
Since it's rediscovery in the 1800s, (with the exception of the civil war period) this historic temple has received a steady stream of visitors.
All of them curious about this ancient temple.
The fascination is such that in the 1950s a foreigner fell deeply in love with the Angkor temples and her last wish was to have her ashes scattered on the temple grounds. I believe she got her wish.
Clearly it's not some kind of a fad, because here we are, ready to visit Angkor Wat as well.
The number of visitors to the Angkor temples increases each year. Large tourist groups, crowded temples, and big tour buses are a regular sight these days.
Not really the kind of Angkor experience that old travelers experienced decades ago.
But fear not, because even with those 'challenges,' you can still experience the Angkor temples in a truly personal way. It is still possible to get a temple just for yourself!
