Terrace of the Leper King Guide

A practical guide to the Terrace of the Leper King, its carvings and how to visit it within Angkor Thom.

Why stop here

The terrace is compact but filled with dense carved figures and layered walls.

Do not miss the inner passage

The narrow corridor reveals carvings that are easy to miss if you only look from the road.

How long to allow

It is a short stop, but worth more than a drive by.

Combine it

Visit alongside the Terrace of the Elephants and Royal Palace area.

My advice

Slow down here. The detail matters more than the scale.
