Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm at Angkor Archaeological Park is the most atmospheric temple in the Khmer jungle, left partially unrestored so that massive strangler fig and silk-cotton tree roots embrace and invade the stone galleries and towers. Built in the late 12th century as a Buddhist monastery and university, Ta Prohm housed over 12,000 people including nearly 3,000 monks in its prime. Its enigmatic half-swallowed ruins, made famous by the Tomb Raider film, offer the most visceral encounter with the jungle reclaiming a lost civilization.
