Among the intriguing ruins of Angkor

Even
the most casual mention of Cambodia's Siem Reap instantly brings to
mind the celebrated ruins of Angkor Wat. But many more treasures await
exploration in the immediate neighbourhood. Sprawling over 400-odd
square kilometres, much of it densely forested, the Angkor
Archaeological Park houses the awe-inspiring remains of several capitals
of the Khmer Empire of the 9th to the 15th centuries. Besides the
famous Vishnu temple of Angkor Wat, the largest Hindu temple complex in
the world, other monuments include the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom,
known for its exquisite carvings. These photographs take you on a visual
tour of the monuments of the Angkor Archaeological Park, which was
declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
