Preah Khan

  Rising from the lush jungle in Siem Reap, Preah Khan is a striking temple complex originally built in the late 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. This expansive site served as both a religious center and a residence for the king, showcasing the intricate Khmer architecture that remains a focal point of ancient Cambodian culture. One key aspect of Preah Khan is its impressive layout, featuring numerous corridors and sanctuaries that span over 56 hectares. Visitors this season can explore its serene pathways continuously throughout the year, with remarkable stone carvings and sprawling banyan trees providing a unique backdrop. Just a few kilometers from the more frequently visited Angkor Wat, Preah Khan offers an intriguing glimpse into the grandeur of the Khmer Empire and a chance to immerse oneself in its rich history.
