Cambodia – Angkor Wat

The first thing which travelers associate with Cambodia is Angkor Wat. Why is this?

Angkor Wat is a magnificent temple with towers resembling lotus buds, gardens and galleries, friezes depicting warriors, kings, demons, battles and three thousand heavenly nymphs, all designed and built within a period of 37 years by 300 000 workers and 6000 elephants, at least that’s what the temple inscriptions claim. Millions of sandstone slabs were carried down from Phnom Kulen mount and Angkor spread over kilometers.

“No Luggage” we’re on a adventure to one of the wonders of the world. A temple insubordinate to time, unique in its beauty and level of preservation. Angkor Wat is testament to a level of magnificence and luxury far in excess of those of the Pharaohs or Shah Jahan, a monumental structure greater than that of the Egyptian pyramids, and artistic brilliance comparable with the Taj Mahal. The miracle of Angkor Wat is incomparable with any other structure in the world.
