 Visiting Angkor Wat Is undoubtedly one of the highlights people are keen to discover when exploring South East Asia, and on any normal day it is a truly impressive sight. However, over four nights this incredible monument becomes bathed in light and forms a dramatic backdrop whilst a privileged audience is spellbound by the enigmatic smiles and sensual movements of the Cambodian Royal Ballet and other dance companies. As you sit in the warm tropical evening, accompanied by the xylophones, drums and oboes of the traditional Pin Peat orchestra, you will gradually be able to make out the silhouettes of dancers as they slowly descend from above with slow sinuous steps. As the glow within the temple intensifies a group of forty beautifully dressed dancers appears, gracefully lining the terraces of the temples. Striking the sharply angled poses of the devaraja’s heavenly consorts, the illusion that the temple’s carved celestial Apsaras that you marveled at during the day have come alive is complete. This unforgettable, magical event is Les Nuits d’Angkor…
 After which time becomes immaterial as you are mesmerized and treated to an elegant display of poise and strength, grace and beauty, an embodiment of the history of the Cambodian people, a reconstruction of a culture nearly lost on so many occasions throughout its history.
