Climbing the tower of Angkor Wat

#bucketlistreboot Over a million tourists visit Angkor Wat annually, the largest temple complex ever built. The view from the top is the crown jewel of this world of wonder. In the past only elite priests had access to the central tower and courtyard traditionally called Bakan, which held the main shrine of Vishnu and Buddha through the old steep narrow stairs using the help of both hands. Now the present, the complex had built wooden stairs with railings on both sides, one way up, one way down for the safety of tourists no more using the old stairs. The view from the top is marvelous looking downward on the land and complex. The only advice did not rush during the climb, be careful.
