It's no secret that Angkor Wat attracts hoards of visitors each year; it's not surprising considering the grandeur and intricate detail of this world famous monument. It's therefore important to go before the crowds arrive and we highly recommend sunrise as the time to go. With your expert guide you will rise early to see Angkor Wat at its best, before the coaches arrive and when the light is at its best. Your guide is experienced in avoiding other people so expect to be taken to hidden corners, where at times you might have the place to yourself!
Please note you are required to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and below the knee, it is also suggested that you wear comfortable footwear.
