Why go

The gate’s eastern approach and alternate name distinguish it from the Victory Gate farther south. Its causeway and tower are the useful details to notice at this stop. Distinguish this eastern entrance from the Victory Gate by its position and quieter approach. The causeway guardians lead toward the carved tower, giving a compact lesson in Angkor Thom’s gates.

What to look for

  • Look for the gate tower and its carved faces.
  • Follow the causeway guardians toward the entrance.
  • Compare its quieter setting with the South Gate approach.

Useful to know

  • Confirm the gate’s access road and transport before setting out.
  • Stop only where it is safe to leave the road.
