Bakong Temple – Ancient Majesty in Siem Reap 🛕

Bakong Temple, part of the Roluos Group, is a remarkable example of early Khmer architecture and the spiritual heart of the 9th-century Khmer Empire. As Cambodia’s first state temple built of sandstone, its pyramid-like structure rises gracefully, surrounded by serene courtyards and intricately carved stone lions guarding the entrances.

Walking through Bakong, I was mesmerized by the combination of history, artistry, and tranquility. The temple’s age and scale make it feel sacred yet approachable, offering a quiet space for reflection away from the larger crowds at Angkor Wat. Exploring with a local guide revealed fascinating stories behind the carvings and the temple’s role in Cambodia’s early civilization.

For travelers seeking a rich historical experience beyond the usual tourist routes, Bakong Temple is a must-visit stop in the Roluos Group.
