Temples of Angkor

 “Temples of Angkor” in Cambodia have topped the Ultimate Travelist compiled by Lonely Planet (LP), which it described as “Hindu heaven on earth”.

According to an LP release, “this complex of more than 1,000 temples, shrines and tombs that form a virtual city of spires in the jungles of northern Cambodia, takes the crown” and it “was the undisputed champion by quite some margin… it was a complete landslide”.

Others in the top ten of the 500 best places to see on the planet, ranked by this Travelist “in order of their brilliance”, include: Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Machu Picchu (Peru), Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal (India), Grand Canyon National Park (USA), Colosseum (Italy), Iguazu Falls (Brazil-Argentina), Alhambra (Spain), Aya Sofya (Turkey).
