Soaring over Angkor Wat

By: Heather Van Hull- Booking Coordinator, Cambodia

The Angkor temples, with their intricate carvings and stunning architecture, are mesmerizing and are a must for every visitor to Southeast Asia.  Simply wandering around their ancient winding passageways and climbing over bits of jungle-laden rubble is a lifelong memory.

Last month I was given the amazing opportunity to join in on a 30-minute scenic flight with Helistar over Angkor with two of our customers.  Words cannot even begin to describe the feeling of seeing these ancient wonders from above, so I will simply share some photos with you that, hopefully, begin to give you a sense of the experience:

Ínside view from my copilot's seat. So many pretty buttons...
