Terrace Leper King Angkor
Terrace Leper King Angkor, located in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia, is a hidden temple complex born of legend and mystery. According to folklore, this jungle-covered archaeological site was once home to a powerful leper king who had been driven out by his people because of the affliction he bore. The temples are believed to have been built as a refuge for him and his followers.

The Terrace Leper King Angkor was first rediscovered in 1906 by French archaeologist George Trouvé. Since then, it has become an increasingly popular tourist destination due to its stunning architecture and impressive sculptures that adorn the walls of its many temples. Its intricate carvings tell stories about Cambodian culture and history that can still be discovered even today.
