The Experience

Before You Go

Buy the Angkor Pass in Advance

Purchase your 1-, 3- or 7-day pass at the main gate (USD only) before entering—it’s mandatory and enforced.

Respect Temple Dress Codes

Shoulders and knees must be covered at many sites; bring a lightweight sarong or long shirt to avoid denied entry.

Start Early for Sunrise

Depart before dawn for Angkor Wat to beat heat and crowds; nights are cooler but you’ll need coffee and steady shoes.

Hydrate and Carry Cash

Carry a reusable water bottle and small Cambodian riels or US dollars for food, tips and small purchases at remote sites.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the quieter galleries of Preah Khan for intimate carvings and fewer crowds
  • Visit the Art & Craft School showroom in Siem Reap for locally made sandstone and silk work

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (near some temple ruins)
  • Waterbirds and kingfishers on Tonle Sap

Conservation Note

Visitor fees support preservation but erosion, tourism pressure and seasonal flooding threaten fragile surfaces; stick to marked paths and avoid touching bas-reliefs.

Angkor grew into a capital of the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 13th centuries; Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century and later reinterpreted as a Buddhist site.

Common Questions

Do I need an Angkor pass for this tour?

Yes — all visitors must show a valid Angkor Archaeological Park pass at entrances; passes are purchased in USD at the main ticket centre.

Is sunrise at Angkor Wat included?

Yes — the tour offers a sunrise option on Day 2; expect an early pickup (around 5:00) and larger crowds during high season.

Are the temples wheelchair accessible?

Most sites have uneven steps and narrow passages; accessibility is limited, though temple grounds can be viewed from flatter approaches in some locations.

Is the floating village visit affected by seasons?

Yes — water levels on Tonle Sap rise and fall dramatically; dry-season village columns and wet-season expanded waterways create different boat experiences.
