we took angkor temple pass..20 dollar per person for a day and started
our temple safari . the first stop was TA prohm temple made famous by
the tomb .raider movie. the entry to the temple was through a 4 faced
vishnu in shape of a cross. a further 300 metres walk in the jungle you
reach the TA prohm temple.
entering the Ta prohm temple
this is a photographers paradise..one cant resist the scenic trees and rock temples together. there were lots of tourists and even children selling sovinirs like magnets for Dollar one.. seemed like everything started with one dollar.
a girl selling magnets
inside the temple its the wow moment. trees tangled with the rocks..as the guide said its a fight between the rocks and the trees..the fight has started years ago and still continuing..the tendrils of the trees have strangled the rocks..some of the rocks have fallen apart bringing smaller temples with it..and some rocks have been kept intact by the tendrils..strange ways to protect and destroy.
the chinese are the number one for posing …i waited for almost 10 minutes for this lady. she almost took 100 pictures.
the tomb raider was shot in this temple..so even to take pictures at this window/ gate which is covered by the tendrils of the tree..you need to wait..not just the chinese!!
children having a wonderful time
the gallery
ruins
woman selling bhudish lucky bands
finally we took leave..TAPROHM is something that will be etched in our memory till the last ..i just loved this temple.
