Ancient Causeways are stone-built pathways that connect major temples, gates, and
ceremonial spaces within Angkor Thom. These raised walkways were designed to guide
processions, travelers, and royal movements across the ancient city.
Many causeways are lined with carved stone balustrades, often depicting mythical naga
serpents or guardian figures. Walking along these paths allows visitors to experience
Angkor Thom in the same way people once did centuries ago.
For travelers, the Ancient Causeways offer a calm and immersive way to explore Angkor
Thom, combining history, architecture, and peaceful walking routes.
