Visited on my own (other family members hot and "templed-out"). Despite being quite busy I found myself alone regularly in the most amazing spaces. If you wander off the beaten track a bit - round the outside wall away from the tour guides - you can almost imagine you have just stumbled across the place. There was quite a lot... More

This is the 3rd time I'd been here. The first time was the most magical experience, it was still 'untouched' looking. The second time, there were a few ropes and boardwalks to protect the site.
