Well it’s known by the locals now as the tomb raider temple and you can see why as you approach it. It has that movie setting that sooner or later someone would use it as a setting. The trees that grow over the temple are just amazing.

It was so cool getting close to such a monument! I had people in my group who knew the language, so we didn't need a tour guide. The temple was also not too busy with tourists, which is always best, in my opinion. At first, I thought we'd only be able to see the temple from the outside; before I knew it, we headed inside. A very surreal experience! The walls were engraved in detail. It was beautiful! If you are in the area, you are in range to check out other nearby temples, like Angkor Wat and the Bayon temple. If I were to rate the temples, I'd rate Angkor Wat as my favorite, Bayon following as second, and then Ta Prohm.

Finally got the chance to visit the famed Cambodian Tomb Raider temple. The place has some huge trees on the roof and the walls. The vibe of the place has a very different aura and mystique. The government could put a better effort of maintaining the site so that the future generations get a chance to see this historic marvel.

Ta Prohm temple is known as a mother temple and meaning as mother of the Buddha, The King J7 built this temple in 1186 for his mother. This temple is beautiful because the gorgeous trees growing on the roof of temple. Gigantic tree roots engulf crumbling stone walls, allowing you to experience what the early explorers encountered when they discovered the temple. If you are in siem Reap do not miss.

Our favourite temple in Angkor (yes even more so than Angkor Wat and Bayon), this temple is included in the 'small circuit' and should be included on any visit to Angkor even if you only have 1 day. Nature has run riot on the crumbling ruins, with trees and tree roots growing out of and all around the temple. This makes it incredibly fun to explore and really makes you feel like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft exploring an ancient temple. It is one of the more crowded temples which means sometimes you have to wait to get the photo you want at the top photo spots, but that can't be helped.

This temple is in worse shape than Angkor Wat and in many places trees blend in with the buildings, which creates some fantastic sites. Also everyone will go have a photo at the Indiana Jones tree, which is a really great place, but not worth queuing up if it's already crowded. Just a beautiful place to take in if you caa avoid big groups, which luckily we could.

Ta Prohm is a temple and a historical monument situated in Siem Reap Cambodia. Ta Prohm is the modern name of the temple and the original name of the temple is Rajvihara. This temple is dedicated to the mother of the King Jayaverma and it is called mother temple. The temple is in a damaged condition and renovation work is going on. Big trees are there with their roots in the building structure.

This was my favourite of all the monuments in Siam Reap. Trees weaving through the buildings is a reminder of the fragile balance between man and nature. On a guided tour and the guide lived through the civil war, very enlightening. Look up the area before travelling.

Breathtaking, absolutely incredible. Ta Prohm was such a gorgeous temple! Of the many temples we saw in and around Siem Reap, this was one of my two favorites. The trees are swallowing the buildings and nature is taking the temple back. It was so cool to see! Ta Prohm isn't huge, it doesn't take a lot of time. But every single second it worth it.

This is the temple made famous by the film Tomb Raider. It is very interesting to walk through and see the trees and their effect on the temple. It is quite busy and people are stopping a lot for photos. We stopped for photos as well.
