Les Nuits D’Angkor - December 15-18 2006

August 22nd, 2006

Going to Siem Reap in December?? Why not schedule your dates to join this fascinating Les Nuits D’Angkor??

For 3 nights this December, the m ost enduring image of the golden age of Khmer civilisation, the towering “temple mountain” of Angkor Wat, will be illuminated with the sun’s setting as the backdrop for the enigmatic smiles and sensual performance of the Cambodian Royal Ballet.

Known as “Les Nuits D’Angkor“, this elegant show of control, poise, strength and movement is an embodiment of the history of the Cambodian people, a reconstruction of a cultural nearly lost on so many occasions throughout its history. Due to the increasing popularity of this event, the audience has been restricted to only 1,300 seats per night and visitors should book well in advance for tickets.

Angkor Wat is a major highlights of travel in Asia, its five intricately carved central tower soar skywards representing mythological Mount Meru, the centre of the universe. Angkor Wat’s exterior walls are covered in extensive bas-reliefs including the panel depicting the “Churning of the Ocean of Milk”. The centre of Khmer Hindu tradition for much of the 12th century, exploration of Angkor Wat and the sprawling remains of the Khmer civilisation is made even more memorable in conjunction with a dramatic evening’s performance of Cambodia’s Royal Ballet at the temple itself.
