  • This is the temple that reminds me of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Later on, it found renewed fame in Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider. This is the Angkor temple which the restorers decided to leave as it is, with minimal restoration, so that latter-day visitors get the feel of how it is like to explore a ruin in the jungle.
