"Prasat Preah Vihear: Cambodia’s Temple in the Sky ☁️"

🫶Prasat Preah Vihear is an ancient Khmer temple complex dramatically perched on a 525-meter (1,722 ft) cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, near the Cambodia-Thailand border. Built between the 9th and 12th centuries, it was dedicated to Shiva and served as a major pilgrimage site. 👍Why Visit Prasat Preah Vihear? 😍Breathtaking Views – The temple offers unparalleled panoramic views over the Cambodian plains. ❤️Rich Khmer History – Older than Angkor Wat, it showcases stunning bas-reliefs and intricate carvings. 🤫Less Crowded – Unlike Angkor, it remains a hidden gem with fewer tourists. 🇺🇳UNESCO World Heritage Site – Recognised in 2008 for its historical and architectural significance. 🚗Getting There From Siem Reap: About 3-4 hours by car. From Preah Vihear City: 1.5-hour drive. Final Ascent: Take a motorbike taxi or 4WD to reach the temple entrance. ☺️Best Time to Visit November to February (cooler weather & clear views). Visit early morning for fewer crowds and a stunning sunrise. 🌟Prasat Preah Vihear is not just a temple—it’s a journey back in time with a view that will leave you speechless! 🥰 #prasatpreahvihear #unescoheritagesite #cambodiatourism 🇰🇭
