#wecreate 📍Location: Angkor Archaeological Park, Krong Siem Reap 17000, Cambodia. ⭐ Highlights: You can experience very magical moments throughout the Angkor complex, one of them is watching the sunset from Phnom Bakheng. Phnom Bakheng is a temple mountain in honor of the Hindu god Shiva. It is one of the oldest temples in Angkor Archeological Park. To watch the sunset, you can take a 20 minute easy hike to the top. It can get crowded at times, so be there before 17:30. As a bonus, you'll also get to see the Angkor Wat complex from a high elevation distance. Check out my 3rd picture! 😍 Tip: If you buy the Angkor 1-day pass after 17:00 in the afternoon, you can enter the park for free to watch this sunset, then visit the other Angkor temples the next day! 👍 Rating: 8/10. Majestic views of an ancient historical site, but the crowds were just too overwhelming on a weekend. #angkor #phnombakheng #cambodia #siemreap #awesomepic #sunset

Perched atop a hill, Phnom Bakheng is a must-visit temple in the Angkor complex, best known for its stunning sunset views. Built in the late 9th century, this Hindu temple was dedicated to Shiva and symbolizes Mount Meru. The climb to the top is steep but rewarding, offering panoramic views of Angkor Wat in the distance. Arrive early in the evening, as this popular sunset spot often reaches its visitor limit. The temple’s ancient stone structure and peaceful ambiance make it a memorable experience for both history lovers and photographers alike. #PhnomBakheng #SunsetView #AngkorWatView #CambodiaTravel

#2024wish Recently, I embarked on a journey to explore the captivating Phnom Bakheng Temple nestled in the enchanting Siem Reap Province. This architectural marvel not only offers breathtaking vistas but also serves as a testament to Cambodia's rich ancient history. The sheer beauty and intricate craftsmanship of the temple left me awe-inspired, filling me with an overwhelming sense of excitement as I marveled at the splendid artistry and remarkable construction techniques employed in its creation. Phnom Bakheng Temple is a Hindu temple originally designed as a mountain temple devoted to Shiva, holds great historical significance as it was once considered the main temple of the Angkor region. During its prime, it served as the focal point of a newly established capital, constructed by Yasovarman after relocating the court from the previous capital, Hariharalaya, situated in the southeastern Roluos area. Perched on top of a hill, Phnom Bakheng offers visitors a captivating experience, particularly during sunset, making it a highly sought-after destination. Its strategic location provides breathtaking panoramic views of the sprawling Angkor Wat temple, which lies amidst the dense jungle approximately 1.5km southeast of Phnom Bakheng. When you visit Cambodia, you will find a destination that adds significance to your travels and leaves a lasting impression. It is a place that creates memorable experiences and meaningful memories. I have set my sights on revisiting this remarkable place in 2024. #phnombakheng #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #localguides #ancienttemples
