This place is simply magical and inherits a sensable energy and vibe that make you feel reverent.

After refilling our energy with some local specialties we went to explore the most exciting part of our tour. The part of Angkor Wat which has been taken back by nature.

It was a long day so we decided to watch the sunset and reflect on all we have seen and experienced.

For me this was one of the most impressive places I have been and I can only recommend checking it out for yourself! Have you already been there, or are you planning on going there?
