The World Heritage Site was built for King Suryvarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city of the ruling Khmer Empire. While this is the most popular temple, there are plenty more to be explored.
The time-honoured way to temple trek is by Roe Mouk for about $20 a day, the driver will take you to all the main temples, offering an viewing of them and their legends as you drive, With up to four people this is a budget option but be advised that extra such as sunrise, sunset and some of the more distant temples cost more.
Tourist are not allowed to rent motorbikes in Siem Reap so hiring a motordop and drive is your next best bet. A motor allows you to tavel quickly and skirt the traffic that stacks up during evenings and holidays. Alternatively, starting at $5 a day, it is possible to cycle throughout Angkor at a leisurely pace, particularly if you have a three-day pass. There are scores of stranger ways to explore the temples. If you're with a group, why not try an electric car? Carrying up to 16 people, these carts provide a quiet, shady ride, and at just $3 per person are a great way to go. You can find tickets outside the south gate of Angkor Thom.
