Day 4. Phnom Penh–Siem Reap
Early this morning, we take a short flight to Siem Reap, where we begin our explorations of Angkor Temple complex, considered to be the most spectacular sights in all of Asia.

The Khmer Temples of Angkor Wat , which was built in the 12th century , are one of the world wonders. Khmer culture, which held its greatest power from the 8th through the 12th century, had its greatest flowering in Angkor. Initially Hindu and later Buddhist, the exquisite sculpture and bas-relief work that adorn the temples and buildings of the complex recount the myth and mysticism of the once great culture. Social decline, brought on by war, and the encroachment of the surrounding rain forest cloaked Angkor in the a veil of mystery that kept Angkor a secret until the early 20th century when a French adventurer discovered the ruins beneath the dense undergrowth of the forest during a lighting storm.
