Ancient Causeways

(1)
The ancient causeways of Angkor Thom are stone walkways that connect major temples, gates, and ceremonial areas within the ancient city. These paths once guided royal processions and daily movement. Walking along these causeways allows visitors to experience Angkor at ground level, following the same routes used centuries ago by kings, monks, and citizens.

What to See & Do

  • 🚶 Walk the historic stone pathways that bridge the gap 🌉 between the modern world and the ancient city 🏛️
  • 🐍 Observe the monumental naga balustrades and the intricate carvings 🗿 of gods and demons 👹
  • 🌳 Enjoy shaded walking sections where the jungle canopy 🍃 provides relief from the tropical sun 🌤️
  • 📸 Take perspective photographs along the length of the bridge 🎞️ to capture the dramatic scale 📐

How to Get There

  • 🛺 Gain easy access from any Angkor Thom gate ⛩️ by hiring a local tuk-tuk for the day 🏁
  • 🚲 Utilize a bicycle for a slow exploration 🌳 that allows you to stop and admire 🚵 the scenery
  • 🚗 Park your private car near the major entrances 🅿️ before continuing your journey on foot 📍
