Going in a helicopter over Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the most exciting and breathtaking ways of witnessing the beautiful temples, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the greatest tourist attraction of Cambodia.

The temples are also featured on the national flag. The towers and the minarets, the beautiful laid out gardens and the intricate designs on the walls are clearly visible from the air. Millions of tourists visit the place to the remains of the Khmer civilization. The area is large and there are plenty of attractions. It takes days to see everything and a helicopter ride allows the tourist to see the series of five towers culminating in an impressive central tower that symbolizes the mythical Mount Meru.

Beginning from $75 per person, the flights range from eight minutes to three hours, depending on the type of ride a tourist prefers.

From the sky, one can see the myriad of ancient temples and the incredible creations of the ancient Khmer empire. Once can choose to see the sunrise or the sunset, the early morning or the dusk flights. The best sight is of the temple of Preah Vihear, which is perched high on a mountain on the Thai border. Angkor Wat is a modern name which means ‘City Temple’ and its original name was Preah Pisnulok. The temple is a unique combination of the temple mountain, the standard design for the empire’s state temples, and has concentric galleries. Though there are Hindu influences in the temple, the rituals are in the reverse order. The temples are the most important and the most beautiful sights of Cambodia.
