I believe they enjoy being a part of Angkor Wat and showing it to the World.

we then had to watch many programmes on Angkor Wat to find out what we had just seen

Do take a guided tour of the temples but not with Siem Reap Shuttle Tours - such an amazing place to visit with so much to learn and discover...shame we had the tour guide from "I don't like you because you won't buy the expensive lunch on offer" so he from then on hardly spoke to us! Incredibly rude and spoilt what should have been one of our best explorations. Out of eight people on the tour we were the only two to stick it out till the end as we only had the one day to see as much as we could...we then had to watch many programmes on Angkor Wat to find out what we had just seen! A big shame.

We booked a taxi driver to take us to Angkor Wat and surrounding temples for the day and it only cost us $40, well worth it and got a lot of information from him

5 Days - Angkor Family Bicycle Tour

This is our first family trip to Cambodia. There were just four of us, through the Temples of Angkor Wat, departing by bike from Siem Reap through the off-beaten trails with Mr. Sokvuth (our guide). We highly recommend doing this tour with him and Mr. Sokvuth was not only a knowledgeable guide but had a great friendly personality that relaxed my whole group of 4. This is an incredible cycling experience to visit with a company that is worth the money.

The tour itinerary was great, exactly what I was looking for in the time that I had. all tour guides and drivers were great - prompt, knowledgeable and happy to field all sorts of questions and adjust the timing or itinerary where possible as it was just me. There was also the right amount of free time to explore independently. This trip was a dream come true! I did not realise also that I would be the only person on the tour - had I known, I would not have chosen to pay the additional single supplement for hotels, as this was totally unnecessary - and really expensive! The Mekong Express bus to Siem Reap (6 hours) was uncomfortably hot - there was air conditioning but once the bus was moving it could not be felt at all. Overall, it was an incredible trip for a solo traveler and highly recommended to anyone who likes the same sort of cultural activities.

Angkor Cycling Adventure

Siem Reaper provided me a most Wonderful time. Everything was done well, if not better than well. They were very kind and accommodating and the biking was great. It’s easy to recommend them and I would certainly use them again.

Siem Reap (Angkor Wat Tour), Cambodia 3Days/2Nights

Classic Cambodia

I was impressed with every aspect of this trip from the Trip Leader, accommodations, transportation and activities. The food has to be some of the best I have ever had! You could spend days and days meandering through the Angkor Archaeological Park - just remarkable. Get ready to capture the iconic sunrise shot of Angkor Wat - well worth the super early wake-up call! We also had the opportunity to visit the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity which was another highlight for me.

What people love about Angkor Wat Tours

We had an awesome bike tour around Angkor Wat temples with Lot as our guide. Our bikes were extremely comfortable, the views were breathtaking, and the ride was amazing! I really appreciated the opportunity to see the cultural and historical aspects of Cambodian life that were brought up on this visit. It will be a great way to start our family holiday in Cambodia. Thanks for a great tour!!!

15 Best Angkor Wat Tours

I’ve heard it said that Angkor Wat is the most visited tourist site in the world. I’m not sure if that’s true, but the good news is that whether it’s true or not, Angkor Wat is one of the most culturally and historically rich places in the world.

It also happens to be the world’s largest religious site. Its scale, architecture, and history have always conjured images of an exotic and faraway land in the minds of most foreigners, most of who will sadly never get to see this amazing place.

Full of ancient temples, wafting incense and smiling Buddhas, the Angkor Wat complex in all its splendor deserves one of the top spots on your dream itinerary.

1. 3-Day Private Tour to Angkor Wat and Floating Villages

Though Angkor Wat is one of the world’s foremost tourist sites, the amazing floating villages that dot the surrounding area aren’t so well known, but they’re really worth a visit.

On this three-day private tour, you’ll see much of the Angkor Wat complex, put those sea-legs to the test on southeast Asia’s largest lake, and visit an ancient university from the 12th century that was dedicated to the education and training of Buddhist monks.

You’ll see a few hidden waterfalls that are a bit off the beaten path as well.

Your professional, English-speaking guide will pick you up from your hotel or guesthouse, and take you back when the tour is over too.

2. 9-Hour Angkor Wat Sunrise Bike Tour

With some of the most amazing sunset views you’re ever likely to see, missing the early morning sun rising over Angkor Wat is akin to a crime. Make an effort to witness this beauty, even if you’re not much of a morning person.

Breakfast is included in the cost of this tour, so come hungry and fill up.

Your day will be spent riding around the main temple complex, as well as some lesser known but equally amazing temples that don’t get so much tourist traffic.

After a traditional Khmer lunch by the idyllic Sra Srang Lake, it’ll be time to head back to your hotel for a shower and a refreshing drink.

View Prices & Reviews

3. Angkor National Museum Ticket with Tuk-Tuk Pick-Up

Perhaps the largest and most complete museum in Cambodia, the Angkor National Museum will give you an amazing insight into the great Khmer Empire that was the region’s most powerful for many centuries.

In case you’re wondering, tuk-tuks are the small motorcycle powered taxis that are the preferred method of transportation in the area, so there’s really no better way of being conveyed to this amazing museum.

The museum boasts an astonishing collection of Buddha statues that’s unrivaled. There are lots of other artifacts and exhibits as well, all of which are well-marked so you’ll be able to soak up all the amazing history of this truly unique and majestic place.

4. Full-Day Photo Tour to the Lost Cities of Koh Ker & Beng Mealea

Long before Phnom Penh became Cambodia’s capital, the ancient city of Koh Ker held that distinction.

Now, the once opulent city has been nearly devoured by the encroaching jungle, giving it a primordial feel that’ll really take you back to a different era.

The drive to the site takes a few hours; along the way, you’ll get to see how many Cambodians in rural villages live today.

You’ll also see the impressive five-towered temple of Prasat Pram that’s been strangled by tree roots and lichens, and the sacred reservoir of Andong Preng whose water was thought to have mystical powers in years past.

5. Full-Day Private Tour with Sunset at Angkor Wat

Due to the immensity of Angkor Archaeological Park, unless you’re in a big hurry, you’ll want to spend an entire day there.

This private tour will take you to some of the park’s major attractions – like the Bayon and Ta Prohm temples – and you’ll see some lesser known but equally stunning ones too.

Meals are included and you’ll end up at Pre Rup, which is one of the most popular sunset viewing areas in the entire park.

That enchanting period of diminishing light between afternoon and evening is especially magical when viewed against the still waters of the temple’s moat and the characteristically tapered spires of the ancient temples.

6. See Classic Angkor Temples via Full-Day Photo Discovery Tour

If you didn’t already know, Angkor Wat is the largest religious site in the entire world.

Some archaeologists and historians claim that at its height in the 12th century, Angkor Thom was home to nearly a million residents, making it among the world’s largest at the time.

This tour is for budding and seasoned photographers alike. It focuses on taking guests to the most scenic and picturesque of the many unique and distinct areas the complex has to offer.

The two highlights of the tour may be the majestic 12-towered Prasat Suor Prat near the royal square and the always-stunning Ta Prohm.

7. Full-Day Small Group Temples Tour in Siem Reap

For nearly 600 years, the Khmer Empire was a dominant military, political and cultural force in Southeast Asia.

One of the best ways to see the Angkor Wat complex is with a small and intimate tour group.

Unlike large groups, in which it’s easy to get lost in the crowd, a small group will give you the opportunity to make a few friends and have a more personal interaction with your guide.

The tour includes transportation to and from your hotel and will visit the complex’s most important sights – like the Bayon and Ta Prohm temples and the Leper King and Elephant terraces – many of which you may have already seen in magazines like National Geographic.

8. Angkor Wat Full-Day Private Tour with Sunrise

You’ll probably find that Angkor Wat is shrouded in magnificence and mystery no matter when you visit, but nearly everyone agrees there’s something extra special at sunrise that really should be experienced.

If that sounds like a good plan, then bring an alarm clock, because this full-day, private sunset tour will get you where you need to be, when you need to be there, to experience this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a natural wonder.

After the sun comes up, your tour will commence with visits to Angkor Tom and Bayon temples that are famous for the hundreds of serenely smiling faces that adorn them.

9. Angkor Photo Workshop Tour

Your guides for this amazing photo-centered tour will either be American or English. Both are very knowledgeable about Angkor Wat’s history and are also professional photographers.

If you choose the sunrise option, the day will start no later than 7:00, which will leave you just enough time to get to the complex and get set up.

The tour is appropriate for beginner and advanced photographers and is less formal than other tours, so if the group agrees they’d like to see something particularly interesting that wasn’t on the original itinerary, that’s okay.

Regardless of where you end up, rest assured that you’ll get tips and pointers to ensure that your photos are all that they should be.

10. Angkor Wat & Tonle Sap Lake Intimate Guided Tour

With all there is to see and do in Siem Reap and the surrounding areas, one day really isn’t enough.

If your travel schedule can only accommodate a day and a half, however, this intimate guided tour is for you.

You’ll get an English speaking guide who’ll pick you up from your hotel and take you to the archaeological site’s most historically important and aesthetic temples.

On day two, you’ll drive about an hour into the country, hop on a boat, and skim across Southeast Asia’s largest lake to visit a floating village that’s been making its living on the fish-rich waters of the Tonle Sap for ages.

11. Siem Reap by Jeep. 1-Day Tour to Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm

Jeeps are a great way to see the sights of Angkor Wat, especially when someone else is doing the driving and all you need to do is sit back, relax, take in the splendor of it all and ask the occasional question.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then get online and book in advance because these tours fill up quickly.

You’ll hit all the most important temples like Angkor Thom, Bayon, and Ta Prohm, and you’ll visit some other gems that aren’t so often visited but are just as rich in history and splendor.

The Jeep tour package includes transportation to and from your hotel as well.

12. Banteay Srei and Angkor Day Trip from Siem Reap

Tours that offer options are usually the best value for your hard-earned travel dollars. This day tour gives you the option of adding an English speaking guide.

Though there are places inside the complex where you’ll be able to read about what you’re seeing, a professional guide will definitely give you much more detailed information that you’ll probably find fascinating and impressive.

Unlike some tours that only hit the largest two or three temples, this day tour will take you to some lesser known but equally impressive ones like Pre Rup, which is one of the most completely intact in the complex.

In the Khmer language, “srei” means woman or girl, so when you get to see the appropriately pink temple of Banteay Srei, you’ll know why the name was chosen.

13. Phnom Bok Temple Tour from Siem Reap

It’s not well known that in addition to Buddhist temples, the complex at Angkor Wat is also home to Hindu temples. This really isn’t surprising when you consider that some historians suspect that Buddhism evolved from Hinduism in the era before the Khmer Empire’s rise to prominence.

This full-day tour will visit Banteay Samre, one of the most stunning Hindu temples in the complex.

This is an especially great area to visit if you’re keen on avoiding the crowds and burning some calories – nearly 700 stairs discourage most but the fittest visitors.

You’ll also climb Phnom Bok, or Bok Mountain, as it’s called in English.

14. Angkor Zipline Tour

Ziplining has become a popular vacation activity in recent years. It’s safe, exhilarating, and gives you an amazing bird’s-eye view of the surrounding area.

What better way to see the wonders of Angkor Archaeological Park than hanging from a narrow cable hundreds of feet above the ground.

If you’re not an experienced zipliner, don’t worry, you’ll get all the gear and training you need and you’ll even get a dry-run just a few feet above the ground.

You’ll be treated to stunning views of the rainforest around the park, but be warned – after your first zip line adventure you may turn into a raving adrenaline junkie.

15. Angkor Sunrise on a Vespa

Admit it, even if you’ve got a Harley in your garage back home, you still probably think Vespas are hip.

If you’re looking for a fun and original way to see the amazing sunrise at Angkor Wat, this is the tour for you.

After the sun is done with its dazzling, you’ll scoot on over to the Bayon and Ta Phrom temples – and a few other rare gems that don’t get as much foot traffic.

Your Khmer guide will be a local who knows all the history associated with each site, so you’ll get a great glimpse into the area’s ancient history that dates back more than a thousand years.

Angkor Wat Tours & Travel Guide

Angkor Wat Attractions & Landmarks Guide

The world’s largest religious complex, Cambodia's Angkor Wat (which means “City of Temples”) covers some 500 acres. At one time, 750,000 people were said to live on the site, but it’s been abandoned for centuries.

It was built by a Khmer king in the 12th century as a Hindu temple, and later served as a Buddhist shrine and place of pilgrimage. Its remarkable stone structures -- with spires reaching heavenward and walls lined with bas-reliefs and other artworks -- lie amid the forests near the Cambodian city of Siem Reap.

Visiting Angkor Wat is a top itinerary item for tours to Cambodia , but be prepared for a lot of crowds.

A common misnomer is that Angkor Wat and Angkor are the same thing, when in fact Angkor Wat is just one temple in the enormous ruin city, and UNESCO World Heritage Site, city of Angkor.

Countless temples are strewn throughout the temple complex, and even with several days to spend exploring, it's impossible to see them all. Below we’ve compiled a selection of some of the unmissable temples. You could reasonably see these, plus the crown jewel of Angkor Wat itself, in two days, but if you’re one to prefer taking your time to explore and especially if you enjoy travel photography, you definitely will want more time than that.

The Main Temple of Angkor Wat

The most famous of the Angkor temples, and the one after whom the temple complex is named, Angkor Wat is instantly recognizable. But pictures will not do the temple justice, and the sight of the gigantic towers and sprawling grounds are far more impressive in person. It's worth the effort to make it to the temple by sunrise, to watch the sky change color above the imposing towers. Or better yet, take a ride in a hot air balloon to take in the view from the air.

Built between the years 1130 - 1150, the temple of Angkor Wat is the most famous and well known perhaps because it is still in use today. A Hindu temple designed to represent the home on earth of the gods, its massive scale is truly impressive.

Most historians agree that the temple was used both as a tomb and temple, a fact supported by its western facing carvings and doors, and the bas-reliefs were designed to read in a counterclockwise direction.

To protect this magnificent site, be respectful of areas that are off limits, dress appropriately, and take your time. The many gorgeous carvings along the walls reveal epic stories, myths, and describe a people close to their religion and extremely devoted. Breezing through to check the site off your bucket list will ultimately leave you disappointed and rushed - this is a site which begs to be examined and appreciated for all its historical significance and beauty.

How to Get to Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is actually the large main temple within the ancient city of Angkor, which is what you’ll actually spend more time exploring during your visit. These fascinating ruins became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, though despite valiant and ongoing efforts to keep them in as good shape as possible, a continuously growing influx of tourists have made protection an enormous challenge.

Tours to Angkor Wat typically leave from Siem Reap, which is about a 20 minute drive away.  There are several ways you can arrange to see the site, including renting a car, renting a bike or motorized scooter, or going by hired tuk-tuk. Walking is not recommended, only because the heat can be intense, and you’ll be walking by multiple moving vehicles going at different speeds, and some places have very little sidewalk.

Renting a car can provide a nice breather between temples as you enjoy a reprieve in the air conditioning. But if you can stand the heat, the cheaper options are nicer as you have less crowds to deal with as you try to park.

There are 3 different passes you can decide between, once you arrive at Angkor. A Day Pass, A Three Day Pass, and a Week Long Pass. (The US dollar is widely accepted throughout Cambodia).

Forget any illusions you may have about Angkor Wat being empty and devoid of other people. It will definitely be full of other tourists exploring the ruins. Even the much lauded sunrise tour, to be among the first to get to the site, is a deceivingly busy activity. Though you may elect for this opportunity, you won’t necessarily be getting to the site when “no one else is there” which is how some tours sell this experience.

What to Wear for Angkor Wat

To visit the temples of Angkor, appropriate and respectful attire is expected. This includes long pants covering the knee, and covered shoulders. There are guards at each temple entrance (they will require you to show your pass, so they can add a punch to it) and they have been known to refuse entry for improper attire.

One major thing to keep in mind is the heat - particularly considering that you will be wearing conservative attire. Given this, try to find clothing that breathes easily, and doesn’t cling. Avoid cotton and other materials that are absorbent and thick.

High humidity is uncomfortable no matter what so anything you can do to minimize feeling icky is helpful - remember, you’ll be outside for the vast majority of your Angkor Wat tour. Make sure you bring a lot of water, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Exploring Angkor requires extensive, very steep stairs, so you’ll want good shoes, ideally with ankle support.   

Cambodia remains fairly warm throughout the year, however there are some differences in wet vs dry seasons. The humidity is the highest during the hot and rainy season, between June and August. This is going to be quite uncomfortable for traveling, especially if you’re not use to humidity. It also coincides with summer in the northern hemisphere, which is one of the busiest travel times of the year, so the crowds will be heavy.

March through May is also quite warm, coming off of the cool season. Temperatures range in the 70s and 80s F, with high, but mostly bearable humidity.

The ideal travel months in terms of weather in Cambodia are November through February. This is the dry season, and you’ll also experience fewer crowds. During this time, temperatures average between high 60s and 70s F, with less humidity.

Temperatures are also cooler between September and November, and it is less humid, but it will most likely be wet and rainy.

Photography Tips for Angkor Wat

The spires, steps, carvings, and countless pathways at Angkor Wat create unbelievable compositions for stunning photographs. Photography enthusiasts, amatuer through to professional will always find something new to capture through the lens at Angkor Wat.

Here are some top tips for getting the best photos out of your Angkor Wat visit:

1. Bring multiple lenses - Angkor is one of those rare destinations that offers incredible variety for the type of photography you want to do. A telephoto lens will help you get up close with the many wall carvings and intricate designs within the temples. While a wide angle will be ideal for capturing the depth and scope of the temples and city.

2. Go on a photography tour  - Especially for enthusiastic amateurs looking to bring their photographs to the next level, a photography tour is the perfect avenue to learn. Not only will you be able to visit incredible sights, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from a professional. And in a place like Angkor, where there are so many small walkways, multiple temples, and multiple views, your guide will know all the best places for photographs, including those that are “hidden.”

3. Lens cloth - in humid weather, like that you will experience in Cambodia, lens fogging is common. While this can create an interesting effect, it may not be the one you intend. Bring your camera out of it’s protective bag a good few minutes before you plan to shoot, and have a lens cloth handy throughout the day.

4. Comfortable neck/shoulder strap - Angkor Wat is full of incredible photo opps, and you will quickly get exhausted with pulling your camera out every 5 seconds. It is also typically very humid, and your generic camera strap may get itchy and uncomfortable in the heat. Fashion yourself a personalized lens strap with any kind of durable, soft, water resistant material to help with the burden of carrying your camera all day long.

5. Filters - Especially if you elect to do the popular sunrise tour at Angkor Wat, consider a filter to help display the subtle color and lighting of the sky as effectively as possible.

6. Practice shooting in shadow . Angkor provides a lot of wonderful opportunities for dramatic contrasts and sharp light shafts. Get to know your camera’s manual settings, and possibly practice with an external flash. You won’t want a strong flash, but one used with a diffuser might help bring out details in your shadowy photographs.

7. Bring a monopod - You will be walking around a lot in the hot sun, and a tripod will get cumbersome. And you don’t really need one for Angkor, as you’ll find many places to place your camera to keep it steady, or use a monopod. You’ll definitely want this option for shooting extended exposures in low light, but for the most part, it should suffice rather than a bulky and heavy tripod.

8. There will be people around . Embrace the fact that there will be a lot of crowds. You can pretty easily manage to get some pictures without people that are tight in portrait style, but your wide shots will almost certainly have people in them.

Angkor’s Other Temples

Angkor Wat is the most famous of the Angkor temples, and the one most people initially visit to see. However upon arriving, it may quickly become apparent that there’s so much else to see, and that Angkor is far more expansive than often thought by first time travelers.

Bayon Temple

The massive stone faces that adorn Bayon temple set it apart from the many temples of Angkor. Take your time exploring the different levels, as there are 214 of these faces to be found. Bayon was built in approximately 1190 AD, a Buddhist temple which incorporates Hindu elements as well.

Take your time as you explore the outer wall of this temples first level. Unique and intricately detailed carvings depict everyday life for the people of the time. As you continue through in a clockwise direction you’ll pass more panels depicting various tasks, important events (such as soldiers going or returning from war), and customs. Certain details seem much unchanged to the way provincial Cambodians live today.

Ta Prohm Temple

Ta Prohm, with its crumbling walls and jungle setting, gives visitors the sense that they have stumbled upon the ruins of a lost city. Gigantic trees entangle themselves among the rocks, and visitors can enjoy exploring and clambering over the massive roots. Some of the best photo opportunities can be found here, as the endlessly fascinating and foreboding theme of nature overcoming man made structures to reclaim the land once again is prevalent. This is also the famous “Tomb Raider Temple” as a famous shot from the entertaining franchise featuring Angelina Jolie took place here.

Built in 1186, Ta Prohm is one of the only Angkor temples to provide inscriptions within the stone walls that give an indication of why it was built, and a record of its inhabitants. It was built in dedication to the mother of Jayavarman VII.

Preah Khan Temple

Ta Prohm can become crowded quickly as it is the more well known of the overgrown temples to see. Preah Khan provides a wonderful alternative where fewer tourists venture. In a similar overgrown style to Ta Prohm, visitors can often enjoy having Preah Khan to themselves and feeling like a true explorer.

This temple, the name of which means “sacred sword” most likely served as the temporary residence of Jayavarman VII while his bigger home was in the process of being built.

Preah Khan was dedicated to over 500 divinites and hosted no less than 18 festivals during the year. While it was active, thousands of people lived and worked here to help maintain the space, as it saw so much buzz and activity.

Prasat Kravan Temple

Though on the smaller end of the Angkor temples, Prasat Kravan packs a punch. Especially when it comes to the beautiful and intricate stone carvings on the walls of its interior. This is a Hindu temple, built in the year 921, unique for the fact that it was not built by or for royalty at the time. It is set apart from the main complex, but it you have extra time during your Angkor exploration, dedicate it to Prasat Kravan.

Phnom Bakheng Temple

Built on a hilltop overlooking the temple complex, Phnom Bakheng is an ideal location from which to watch the sunset. Though make sure you allow enough time to get there early - 4pm is a good bet - as only 300 people are allowed up to the main sunset viewing area at one time. This is strictly enforced for safety as well as preservation. The sunset from this vantage point is well worth it however, so try to calculate it into your Angkor tour.

This was the first temple-mountain built in Angkor, for the ruler   Yasovarman I. It has five tiers and seven levels, representing the seven Hindu heavens.

➤ What makes the Bayon Temple stand out from other structures?

The multitude of serene and happy stone faces that can be found on the Bayon’s various towers, which project from the top terrace and cluster around the monument’s central peak, is without a doubt the most distinguishing feature of this historic structure.

➤ Why is the Ta Prohm temple considered to be so important?

One of the temples in Angkor that receives the greatest number of visitors is Ta Prohm. This is due to the allure and enchantment provided by the mix of trees growing out of the ruins and the forest that surrounds the temple. As a direct consequence of this, it is one of the temples that sees the most guests on a daily basis.

It is one of the few Angkorian temples that has been preserved in a state that is relatively similar to the one that it was found in by the early explorers. Ta Prohm is one of the few temples that has been conserved in this manner.

From what we’ve seen, each and every tourist appreciates taking pictures there and soaking up the unique energy that the temple has to offer.

➤ Can you recall watching the movie Tomb Raider?

Where, exactly, did they shoot the Tomb Raider movie? Angkor Wat or Ta Prohm?

At Ta Prohm, scenes from the movie Tomb Raider, which was released in 2001 and starred Angelina Jolie as the character Lara Croft, were filmed.

In one scene, she walks past the towers in the southeast corner, continues along a ruinous corbelled roof section, walks past the iconic tree that has grown out of the enclosure, and then picks a jasmine flower in front of the other iconic tree that frames the enclosure doorway in the central enclosure. Ta Prohm was used as the setting for all of these scenes.

➤ What exactly was the purpose of Ta Prohm?

The Buddhist monastery that is today known as Ta Prohm was originally referred to as Rajavihara, which literally means “Monastery of the King.” Construction on the temple began in 1186 and continued until it was completed.

The temple was named after Jayavarman VII’s mother when it was constructed. It is one of the few temples in the Angkor region that has an inscription, and among the information it provides, you may learn about the people who lived at the temple as well as those who were dependent on it.

It’s a little bit of a maze, so you might find yourself going in the wrong direction or even going backward sometimes, but that’s okay. The vast majority of temples, including this one, have display boards that advise different walking routes, and so does this particular temple.

The highlights of this location include the narrow vertical bas-reliefs that can be found near the entrances, the smiling faces that can be found on the western gate, the lintels and pediments, the overall greatness and appearance, and the incredible trees with their roots that look like reptiles that are taking over the ruins.

Because of this, you will require our local professional tour guide while you are out on the stroll. There is a lot more to study and learn about in this Ta Phrom area.

6 reviews for Private Angkor Wat Sunset Tour | Guided Full-Day Temple Tour [with Phnom Bakheng sunset]

Nik Winkler – November 16, 2023

Angkor Sunset Perfection! Brown’s stories brought the temple ruins to life while Long made sure we stayed refreshed with cold water in his luxury van. They took us down side passages and hidden stairways for exclusive temple views. Watching the sunset from atop Phnom Bakheng hill was the perfect ending to an amazing day thanks to Long and Brown’s expertise. Can’t imagine a better Angkor Wat sunset experience than what this tour delivered!

Nicholas – November 16, 2023

Long and Brown Made Our Angkor Sunset Dreams Come True! My wife and I did the Private Angkor Wat Sunset Tour with our wonderful guides Long and Brown. Their depth of knowledge and passion for the temples was incredible. Mr. Long safely transported us between sites in an air-conditioned luxury van while Mr. Brown guided us through Angkor’s jungle corridors and explained the intricacies of each carving. They timed everything perfectly so we saw the sunset from Phnom Bakheng hill with few crowds, but we understand that this is a favored place to view the sunsets. Having Long and Brown customize and personalize our time exploring the temples made this a 5-star Angkor Wat sunset experience.

Ben Zammit – November 11, 2023

Legendary Angkor Sunset Delivered! My expectations were exceeded for this Private Angkor Wat Sunset Tour. Our guide Brown customized our temple itinerary perfectly based on our interests in archaeology and photography. He timed our visit to Bayon temple for the golden hour glow which resulted in my all-time favorite travel photos! Brown’s connections got us special monk chat and sunset hill access. The sunset views of Angkor Wat were insanely beautiful – So Instagrammable! This was truly the most memorable and crowd-free Angkor Wat sunset experience. Worth every penny

Damien Wilkinson – November 7, 2022

Outstanding Tour and Guide. Because this was our first time seeing Angkor Wat, our tour guide Chean and our driver went above and above to ensure that we had a memorable experience. My experience with Chean as a tour guide ranks him among the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic I’ve ever had. It is incredible how well he understands the history of Cambodia and Angkor, as well as religion, politics, architecture, and ethnography. His English is a very top-notch. And on top of that, he is a very humorous man. I have complete confidence in recommending him to any traveler whose primary language is English. Because Chean was our guide, we were able to gain an incredible amount of information about the temples and the Angkor complex!

Marina Bandy – November 7, 2022

Our visit of Angkor, which was led by both our guide and our driver, was quite enjoyable. We were able to view the highlights, understand each location’s history and religion, and tailor the experience along the way to meet our family’s needs. Fantastic tour!

Kristina Lugs – November 5, 2022

We had a wonderful experience on our one-day sunset trip to Angkor with MySiemReaptours, and it’s definitely something we won’t forget in a hurry! The communication that took place via WhatsApp and email during the process of booking was really swift and professional, and all of the specifics were made apparent and confirmed well in advance of the trip date. The tour was incredible, particularly the part where we got to view the temples and learn about their history. We had a wonderful guide who was highly informed not just about Angkor and its history but also about Cambodia, both in the past and in the present. His English was flawless, he was conversational, and he was very knowledgeable. In addition to that, he led us along routes and gave us an itinerary that kept us away from the majority of the people, which made the day go off without a hitch. We would love to arrange another trip with MySiemReaptours and are looking forward to returning to Siem Reap in the future.

Angkor Archaeological Park Tours

A Unesco World Heritage Site for a reason, the temples of Angkor act as Cambodia’s alluring calling card for many. Encompassing a vast viridian swathe of 400 square kilometres (150 square miles), these redolent ruins whisper of the ancient Khmer Empire, dating from the ninth to the 14th century.

Within the Angkor Archaeological Park, numerous temples and symbolic sites can be seen, including Ankor Wat itself, Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm, all of which are offered as tours and customised excursions by Amansara, as part of the hotel’s tailored guest experience. Several tours use the hotel’s own fleet of remorks (tuk tuks), each with a private driver and English-speaking guide, for an atmospheric entry point to exploring Siem Reap.

Angkor Wat Travel Guide

Last Updated: August 30, 2023

Angkor Wat is an ancient city in Cambodia that was the center of the Khmer Empire that once ruled much of Southeast Asia. This civilization went extinct, but not before building amazing temples and buildings that were reclaimed by the jungle for hundreds of years.

Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century, the surrounding complex spanning over 400 acres. It was the state temple for the empire, an empire larger than the Byzantine Empire, stretching from Thailand to Vietnam and all the way into Southern China. The temples were “rediscovered” in the 1840s and have been a popular tourist attraction ever since.

Today, the temple complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and though it’s always packed with tourists, the area and ruins are still breathtaking to see.

The most popular temples are Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Phrom, and Angkor Thom. But there are over 70 temples here so I recommend getting a multi-day pass so you can visit some of the outer temples where there are fewer visitors. There’s a lot to see!

The closest major city and launching pad for tours here is Siem Reap and the temple complex an easy day trip from the city either by bike or by tuk-tuk.

This travel guide to Angkor Wat will help you plan your visit, save money, and ensure you have the best time possible one of the greatest wonders in the world.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Angkor Wat

1. Explore Angkor Wat

This temple was built by Suryavarman II, who ruled from 1113-1150. It’s considered the biggest Asian pyramid, standing over 61 meters (200 feet) high and divided into several layers. This temple is the largest in the whole complex and is where the historic site gets its name. The central temple complex has 792 meters (2,600 feet) of bas-reliefs.

2. See The Bayon

Built by Jayavarman VII, the temple stands in the center of Angkor Thom. With its 54 towers and 216 faces of Avalokiteshvara (a manifestation of Buddha), this temple looks best in the morning just after sunrise or at the end of the afternoon. The temple was built in three levels: the first two are rectangular, while the third is circular.

3. Step back in time at Ta Prohm

Still covered by the jungle, this place is exactly as they found it when it was rediscovered. Ta Prohm makes it easy to imagine how the whole complex looked when it was re-discovered in the 19th-century. If you come early, you can avoid the crowds that arrive mid-day. It’s the second-best complex behind Bayon in my opinion.

4. Visit Banteay Srei

This temple is located 19 kilometers (12 miles) north of Angkor. The name means “Citadel of the Women” and refers to the size and delicacy of the decoration. Unlike the major sites at Angkor, this was not a royal temple. The temple boasts exquisite decorative carvings in pink sandstone with miniature proportions.

5. Admire Ta Som

This temple has the same style, structure, and founder as Ta Phrom. It is almost like its little brother. The major feature that sets it apart is a huge tree that grows atop the eastern Gopura. It is slowly destroying the building, but it makes for amazing photo opportunities.

Other Things to See and Do in Angkor Wat

1. stroll the terrace of the elephants.

This 350-meter (1,150-foot) long terrace of elephants was used as a giant viewing stand during public ceremonies, royal ceremonies, and other events (such as viewing the returning army when they returned from war). Numerous life-size lions decorate this enormous path as well. Today, it’s surrounded by camera-wielding tourists and I found it to be one of the busiest sites here. I suggest visiting late or early to avoid the crowds, which can be overwhelming.

2. See East Mebon

Built in the 10th-century by King Rajendravarman, a huge baray (reservoir) surrounded this temple complex during its prime. Because it was encircled by water, there was no need for enclosures or moats that became customary for temples in Angkor. East Mebon has five towers — make sure to climb the central platform to the towers and check out the intricate stonework.

3. Explore Preah Khan

Preah Khan is one of the largest sites in the Angkor temple complex. Not only was this site an important temple, but it also appears to have been a large Buddhist university with over 1,000 teachers and upwards of 100,000 servants and attendants. It remains largely unrestored, as evidenced by the many trees growing around the ruins and mossy stones left laying everywhere. The site was a previous palace of Yasovarman II and Tribhuvanadityavarman, and historians believe a famous battle was fought here. There are shrines to over 430 deities here as well.

4. Climb Pre Rup

About 600 meters (2,000 feet) south of the East Baray lies Pre Rup. It was built by Rajendravarman II, who reigned from 944-968, and was his capital after re-establishing Angkor once he took over as king. Pre Rup was at the center of a city that has long since vanished. Many believe this was the place where funerals were held and was dedicated to the god Shiva. You can climb the steep steps up to the three tiers of the pyramid.

5. Go to Preah Ko

King Indravarman I built this temple, called Sacred Bull, in 879 CE, making it the first temple to be built in the ancient (and now defunct) city of Hariharalaya. The temple lies about 16 kilometers (10 miles) southeast of the main temples at Angkor and was dedicated to the king’s family as well as the god Shiva. Today, there are six small brick towers that sit atop a sandstone base. The temple derives its name from the three sandstone statues representing Nandi, the white bull of the Hindu deity Shiva.

6. Catch the sunrise at Srah Srang

Commonly known as “The Royal Baths,” this spot was once a major bathing spot for the area. The reservoir was first created in the mid-10th century by a Buddhist minister of King Rajendravarman II. It was expanded in 1200 by Jayavarman VII. It’s especially picturesque in the mornings as the sun rises over the tranquil water. Excavations have found a cemetery and necropolis nearby as well.

7. See Baksei Chamkrong

On the road between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is a single tower that was built by Harshavarman I (he reigned from 910-923). It’s one of the few ruins accredited to him. He had it built to honor his father who was responsible for the construction of Phnom Bakheng. The temple’s name means “The Bird Who Shelters Under Its Wings.” It’s one of the first temples in the complex built with more durable materials (bricks and laterite), with sandstone decorative elements.

8. Find the secret passage at the Terrace of the Leper King

This seven-layer terrace, built in the 13th century, is dedicated to the god of death, Yama. It earned its name as the moss growing on the statues left them discolored and looking as if they had leprosy. Keep an eye out for the secret passageway that runs from the southwest to the northwest side of the structure.

9. See the sunset at Phnom Bakheng

Built in the late 9th century (two centuries before Angkor Wat itself), this is the oldest temple here. It is both a Hindu and Buddhist temple and bears statues and symbolic elements from both religions. It was built as a representation of Mount Meru, home of the Hindu gods. Located on a hill, it’s a popular place to watch the sunset (so popular in fact, that visitor numbers are now limited during this time).

10. Stroll through Banteay Kdei

Located opposite the Srah Srang reservoir, Banteay Kdei was built in 1181 by Jayavarman VII. Its name means “Citadel of Chambers” as this used to be where Buddhist monks lived (monks lived here all the way up until the 1960s). There are three cloisters in the complex and the walls are carved with Buddhas, though unfortunately many have been defaced or have degraded over time. This complex is currently undergoing renovations, though you can still visit. This temple sees fewer crowds so it’s a good place to go to experience some tranquility.

Angkor Wat Travel Costs

Note: Cambodia uses USD. There’s no real need to carry the local currency, Cambodian Riels (KHR), unless you’re paying for really small things on the street. In many places, especially in the countryside, you might start getting riels back when paying in USD but you can essentially get by using mostly USD here.

Siem Reap is the nearest city to Angkor Wat. That’s where you’ll be staying during your visit.

Hostel prices – A bed in a dorm with 4-6 beds costs $6-10 USD per night. Larger dorms with 10-12 beds can be found for as little as $3-4 USD per night. For a private room with an ensuite bathroom, expect to pay closer to $15-25 USD per night.

Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels have a swimming pool (some have multiple). None of the hostels include free breakfast or self-catering facilities, but many have a café/restaurant on-site with food available.

Budget hotel prices – A room in a guesthouse with air-conditioning, hot water, a private bathroom, and TV costs around $13-15 USD per night. For a hotel/guesthouse with a pool and a restaurant, expect to pay closer to $20 USD.

Airbnb is also available in Siem Reap. Expect to pay at least $25 USD per night for an entire home/apartment.

Average cost of food – Cambodian food is similar to Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnam and Cambodia especially have many dishes in common due to the countries’ shared history of French colonization. For example, the baguette sandwich known as bánh mì in Vietnam is called num pang pâté in Cambodia. Other popular Cambodian dishes include num banhchok , a lightly fermented rice noodle dish served for breakfast; amok trei , a fish curry dish; and samlar kako , a hearty soup filled with vegetables, roasted ground rice, and catfish or pork. In general, Cambodian cuisine includes a huge variety of noodle soups, stir-fries, curries, fried rice, and sweets.

Rice and freshwater fish are present in nearly every Cambodian meal. Lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, tamarind, ginger, chili pepper, and kaffir lime are all commonly used spices. Fermented fish paste is another widely used ingredient that adds saltiness and flavor.

Common vegetables include leaf and root vegetables as well as melon, long beans, snow peas, bean sprouts, and eggplant. Dozens of types of fruit are native to Cambodia, with durian being the most infamous. However, there are plenty of less pungent fruits to try, including mangosteen, passionfruit, dragonfruit, and mangoes. Fruit is a popular dessert and snack, either eaten alone or made into a variety of sweets.

There are tons of food options within the temple complex (though prices are higher than in the city). You can easily find restaurant meals in the $5-7 USD price range.

Around the temples are little stands with cheap meals for about $2-3 USD. There are also lots of vendors selling fresh fruit and juices for as little as $1.50 USD. They are a great choice to stay hydrated and cool down as you explore.

Angkor Wat Suggested Budgets

On a backpacking budget, you can expect to pay $60 USD per day to visit Angkor Wat. On this budget, you’re staying in a hostel dorm, eating cheap street food, limiting your drinking, and using a bike to get around the complex. This also includes a day entry to the Angkor Wat site.

On a mid-range budget of $97 USD per day, you can eat at restaurants in the complex, stay in a private room at a hostel or budget hotel, enjoy a few drinks, and hire a shared tuk-tuk driver to take you around Angkor Wat.

On a luxury budget of $247 USD per day, you can stay in a hotel or at a resort with a pool, eat out for every meal anywhere you want, drink more, and opt for a private guided tour of the site over multiple days.

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in USD.

Angkor Wat Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

There aren’t a ton of ways to save money here since it’s a huge tourist attraction that draws millions of people each year. Nevertheless, here are a few of my top money-saving tips for Angkor Wat:

• Get a multi-day pass – Everyone needs a permit to enter the Angkor temples unless you are Cambodian or related to a Cambodian. A 1-day pass is $37 USD, a 3-day pass is $62 USD, and a 7-day pass is $72 USD. There’s so much to see that it’s worth getting a multi-day pass so you don’t have to rush your time.
• Rent a tuk-tuk – It’s best to rent a tuk-tuk for an entire day to get around. They know how to get you in and out of each temple as well as the best routes for the complex. You’ll be able to see more places in a day and it’s very affordable, generally around $25 USD for the day. If you split this between a group of 3-4 it becomes quite affordable. Getting a driver in Siem Reap is cheaper than inside the park. (Most hostels can help you with this).
• See the sunset the night before – If you buy your ticket after 5pm you can legally enter the park without using up your allotted days. This means you can technically enter the park and explore before it closes, and still have your 1, 3, or 7 days remaining. The best way to spend this extra time is to watch the sunset, saving the temples for the following day(s).
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water in Siem Reap isn’t safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle with a filter to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand for bottles with built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Angkor Wat

Travelers stay in Siem Reap when they’re visiting Angkor Wat. My suggested budget-friendly places to stay are:

• The Siem Reap Pub Hostel
• Onederz Hostel Siem Reap
• Mad Monkey Siem Reap

How to Get Around Angkor Wat

There are two ways for you to get to and from Angkor Wat (and around the complex):

Bicycle Rental – Bicycles are a great way to explore the complex, and you can find rentals for about $5 USD per day. If you choose this method, be prepared for long hours cycling in the heat.

When to Go to Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is open year-round but no matter when you visit Angkor Wat, it’s a toss-up: either you’ll have a rainy, muddy visit with fewer people around, or great weather and crazy tourist hordes. But if you’re concerned mainly with the weather, the best time to visit is during the dry season (from late November to early April).

December and January are best for weather, but they’re also busiest months. April and May can be unbearably hot, with tons of humidity. The average daily temperature in April is 31°C (88°F).

The monsoon season lasts from late May/June to the end of October, with September and October being the hottest months. If you can time your visit to one of the shoulder months, do so.

Having a multi-day pass will give you the opportunity to plan around the weather — another reason why going for multiple days is worth it!

How to Stay Safe in Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is an incredibly safe place to backpack and travel, even if you’re a solo traveler, and even as a solo female traveler. Petty theft (including bag snatching) is the most common type of crime here so always keep an eye on your valuables (especially bags, purses, and phones).

You may encounter persistent children trying to sell you stuff and they may even become more aggressive if you don’t shop with them. There are also many people offering to take you on a personal tour or show you the best photo spots, but these are not licensed guides. Just walk away from them saying “no thank you,” and eventually they will give up.

These are the most common scams and situations you might encounter, but if you’re concerned about others, read about these common travel travel scams to avoid here .

Avoid dehydration in the heat by making sure you bring lots of water to keep hydrated. Remember that tap water isn’t safe to drink, so bring a water bottle with a built-in filter. Wear a hat as well to keep the sun off of you. You’ll be here for hours and it can be very easy to overheat or get a sunburn.

If you experience an emergency, dial 119 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID. Forward your itinerary along to loved ones so they’ll know where you are.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. You can use the widget below to find the policy right for you:

Angkor Wat Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

• Agoda – Other than Hostelworld, Agoda is the best hotel accommodation site for Asia.

How to visit Cambodia

A ncient temples, toasty temperatures, delicious food and low hotel prices — these are some of the best parts of traveling to Cambodia.

Some Americans might view traveling to Asia as a daunting experience, but Cambodia is a great place to start. The exchange rates for the U.S. dollar is high, so your dollar carries you fairly far. And although the national currency is the Cambodian riel, the main currency that is exchanged is the U.S. dollar.

Siem Reap is a vibrant city where tourists are ubiquitous, so it’s easy to get around, and many people speak English. Tourism is a key part of the country’s economy, so the people are kind, open and welcoming to tourists. It also hosts Angkor Wat — “the world’s largest religious monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site,” per National Geographic .

Here are some of my best tips for visiting Cambodia.

1. Book hotels, flights well in advance to Cambodia

If you’re flying from the U.S., the plane ticket will likely be your most expensive item, so it helps to book early. The best time to visit to avoid the rainy season is between November and May. I went in March, and it was mostly sunny — with just a couple hours of rain my first day there.

Luxury hotels are shockingly affordable in Siem Reap — just do a little research on what you would like — and some even offer tours included in your stay. Depending on how much research and planning you want to do, it could be worth it.

Also, be sure to bring cash with you. There are automated teller machines in the airport and the city, if you need. Most transactions in shops and restaurants are done through cash, not card, and you will also need cash to tip service workers if you take a taxi or eat out.

2. Go early to visit Angkor Wat and the other Buddhist temples

One of the most iconic stops in Cambodia is the ancient temple of Angkor Wat.

According to National Geographic, the no longer active temple “attracts nearly 2.5 million foreign visitors annually.

Angkor Wat translates to “temple city” in the Khmer language and was built by Emperor Suryavarman II in the first half of the 12th century to be the state temple. It was “originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu,” but by the end of the 12th century, it had been converted to a Buddhist temple.

If you can get to Angkor Wat early in the morning, that is ideal to avoid the crowds and somewhat beat the heat. To visit the temples, plan to wear pants and clothing that covers your shoulders — the religious beliefs of the region doesn’t allow female visitors to enter the temples if those body parts are not covered.

You can book a guided tour beforehand, but there are usually tour guides waiting outside the site who are willing to walk you through the entire site and explain the history. Our guide that we met in front of the temple was extremely knowledgeable about Cambodian history, had impeccable English, and he only charged $15 for all three of us. I highly recommend only going with a tour guide — it brings a much deeper meaning and richer understanding to the whole experience. And again, it’s helpful to have cash to also tip any tour guides you come across.

We met a taxi driver at the airport who offered to drive us to our hotel and to pick us up the next day to take us to the most iconic ancient sites, as well as to The Floating Villages. And he offered to take me and my two friends I was traveling with to those locations the following day in his taxi — all for just $45.

While you’re in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat isn’t the only mind-blowing historical site to see. Another key stop is Bayon — a temple consisting of 54 towers, with the main tower showcasing four faces that “are generally believed to be the four faces of King Jayavarman VII demonstrating the omnipresence of the king,” according to Visit Angkor .

There are also more than 11,000 carved figures on the outer gallery of the Buddhist Bayon temple that are a majestic window into the past.

3. Plan to stop at The Floating Villages on Tonle Lake

Most boat tours you can purchase will take you to the main temples, as well as one of the most fascinating places in Siem Reap — The Floating Villages on Tonle Lake.

It’s composed of four main villages where communities have created their homes, restaurants, businesses and schools on floating houses on the lake. The Insider’s Guide To Siem Reap recommends booking through Tara River Boat or Sam Veasna Conservation Tours to visit the unique and fascinating floating villages.

4. Try the street food in Cambodia AND reserve a fine dining experience

The street food in Cambodia is an experience that is really special and unique to Southeast Asia. And a lot of the food is truly delicious. I highly recommend getting a fruit shake ... or two!

Another thing I would recommend is seeking out a fine dining experience while you’re there — there are some truly talented chefs in Cambodia, and it’s an opportunity to experience fine dining at a more affordable price.

One that The New York Times recommends is Cuisine Wat Damnak, which offers “dishes from the longtime resident French chef Joannès Rivière’s kitchen (that) are firmly rooted in Cambodian flavors.” The tasting menus come down to just $28 for five or six courses.

Cambodia is a great place to relax with many spas and opportunities to get pedicures, manicures and massages at a more affordable price than what you would find in the U.S. Just make sure to tip well and show appreciation for the kind service workers offering the incredible services.

On our first ever program was a river cruise in Russia which had just started opening its doors to western visitors. Sure enough, the sailing along the mighty Volga departed in July of 1993 with 207 passengers on board. Boy, what a trip that was! First time cruisers…first western passengers aboard a Russian ship….crew that spoke no English…food that was limited to cabbage, boiled potatoes and cucumbers… a most memorable experience indeed!

However, as a result, we discovered a new way to explore the world, via the inland waterways of various countries, long before river cruising became a staple that it is today! Building on Russia’s popularity, we started expanding our river cruise offers to include Ukraine in 1995, Danube in 1996, China Yangtze in 1997, Egypt Nile in 2002, Mekong Delta Cruises in 2004 and most recently cruises in India & Myanmar (Burma).

So here we are, twenty eight years later, with more than 70,000 passengers that have traveled with us, some of them as many as 11 times over the years! We have survived wars, famines, bird flues, economic crises and Lord knows what else and yet, older but no wiser, we are still as passionate about our business as the day we started it! And with today’s mergers, acquisitions and big corporate and internet travel marketers, we are most proud of the fact that we are still an independent, family run operation whose customer satisfaction comes way before revenues and profit margins…and with your support, we hope to continue for many years to come!

Accommodation near Moscow railway stations

Train remains the number one form of transport to cover the vast expanses of the Russian Federation. Whether travelling from Beijing on the Trans-Siberian or taking the new high-speed Sapsan to St. Petersburg, train travelers are often best served by a hotel close to the station they need. With comfortable and rapid Aeroexpress trains now linking all three of Moscow's international airports to the city centre, a station hotel can also be one of the best options for convenient access to the airport.
