Overgrown Ta Prohm Temple, Siem Reap

Cambodia, Siem Reap, North & East
  • Info
  • Holidays
  • Map

The ruins of Ta Prohm temple are one of the most intriguing sights in Cambodia. Built by the Jayavarman empire, they are thought to be around 1000 years old and were abandoned in the 17th century with the fall of the Khmer Empire. 

The temple became famous after the release of the film Tomb Raider and whilst the movie took artistic liberties with Angkor Wat, it keeps quite true to the appearance of Ta Prohm. 

Keep your eye out for the mysterious stegosaurus carving in the stone of this temple! It's not sure whether the stonemason based the design on this dinosaur or just a rhino or chameleon - search it out and come to your own decision. 

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
