The Angkor site and its majestic temples are a remarkable reason to visit Cambodia. Angkor Wat tops the list. This religious edifice spanning 163 hectares remains today the largest in the world, and tourists from all corners of the globe flock to its gates to admire this architectural masterpiece. This crowd can indeed become an issue during peak visiting hours for those who prefer the calm and tranquility that a temple visit can offer. So why settle for ground level? Why not gain some altitude, rise above the tourist masses, to enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of the vast Angkor archaeological site, and see or revisit all these temples from different angles? The company Helistar offers you the chance to take off aboard a helicopter and follow a route lasting 8 to 36 minutes across Angkor, Siem Reap, and even Phnom Kulen.

A Sensational Flight

For lovers of flying, enchanting views, and thrilling sensations, this activity is made for you. The Angkor archaeological site deserves to be explored thoroughly, both on the ground and in the air. Embark for 36 minutes aboard a helicopter above this authentic zone. Soar over the world's largest religious edifice: Angkor Wat, then the temples of Banteay Srei, Banteay Samre, and Phnom Bok, the latter perched atop a hill. The pilot will then take you further north to admire from the skies the mountain of Phnom Kulen. It was here that King Jayavarman II proclaimed himself god-king in 802, liberating the Cambodians from the dominion of the island of Java and giving birth to the Khmer Empire.
