Siem Reap, Cambodia

Photography Tour in Siem Reap

The best photos of Siem Reap aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument, and walking through the temple complex's moss-covered ruins surrounded by jungle is one of travel's most awe-inspiring experiences.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•Angkor Wat — the world's largest religious monument, a 12th-century Hindu-turned-Buddhist temple with five lotus-bud towers rising from a 200-hectare complex
•Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom — a late 12th-century temple with 216 serene stone faces carved into 54 towers, at the center of the ancient Khmer capital
•Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider Temple) — a 12th-century monastery dramatically engulfed by strangler fig and silk-cotton tree roots, left largely unrestored by design

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Beng Mealea — a remote jungle temple about 70 kilometers from Siem Reap, largely unrestored and atmospheric, with far fewer visitors than the main complex
•Phare Cambodian Circus — a world-class performance combining acrobatics, music, and storytelling by graduates of an arts school for disadvantaged youth
