Jungle Temple

Title – Jungle Temple
Date – August 2000
Location - Siem Reap - Cambodia

Cambodia still provides you with the opportunity to feel like Indiana Jones. In the Angkor Wat area there are over 100 temples, some have been restored and some have purposefully been left in the same state as they were discovered; overrun by jungle.

There are a number of unbeatable examples of temples on the main circuit that should not be missed, but go off the beaten track a few hundred yards and you can still experience temples, where you will be the only one around. The silence and solitude can certainly add a level of eeriness, that can’t be that different to what the first French explorers must have felt when they stumbled upon the area in the 1860’s.

Beyond The Blue offers in Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop to allow individuals to experience these wonders more safely and with more confidence. Our workshop helps individuals to travel to locations where they can lose themselves in a world normally so far out of their comfort zone, but without ever leaving that zone.
