Saint Petersburg is an amazing city that I simply admire! In my honest opinion, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Thanks to its royal history, all the extravagant Russian royal palaces can be found here, too, and not in Moscow. St. Pete, or “Peeter”, as Russian call it, the city of Peter the Great and Queen Ekaterina, can offer so much to any traveler, regardless of if they are visiting for the first or tenth time!

Angkor Wat is one of the most important archaeological site and the largest religious monument in the world. Khmer Empire built Angkor Wat as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. It was built by the Khmer King SuryavarmanII in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura. The temple is huge and built at multiple levels with steep stairs with beautiful carvings around it. After the fall of the Khmer empire the Angkor temples were abandoned and reclaimed by the jungle for centuries. 72 major temples and or other buildings are found within this temple premises, and the remains of several hundred additional minor temple sites are scattered throughout the landscape.

Best Time to Visit: 

Angkor Wat and the floating forests and village homes of Tonle Sap Lake are especially stunning, while quintessential paddy field views are an everyday sight. As this is low tourist season, you’ll find great deals on flights, stay.

The majority of desert camps are located on and near to the Sam Sand Dunes. which is about 45 minutes west of Jaisalmer.

However, we like non-touristy option as it provides more authentic experience. The sand dunes around Barna and Khuri villages. which is about an hour southwest of Jaisalmer.
