The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Flip-flops are not allowed; sturdy trainers or lightweight hiking shoes improve footing on wooden platforms and stairs.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a refillable water bottle — the tour is active and tropical heat can dehydrate you quickly.

Expect stair climbs

The route includes multiple staircases and platform transitions; if you have mobility limits, check with the operator ahead of time.

Pack a compact rain layer

Rain can arrive suddenly in the wet season; a lightweight waterproof will keep you comfortable without getting tangled in harnesses.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ta Nei temple — a quieter Angkor site often shaded and less visited in early mornings
  • Climb Pre Rup at sunset for open views and fewer crowds than the main Angkor Wat sunrise spots

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Tropical birds (kingfishers, bulbuls and occasional hornbills)

Conservation Note

The park balances heavy tourism and preservation — follow park rules, don’t touch stones or feed wildlife, and stay on designated paths to protect fragile temple structures and forest soils.

Angkor Archaeological Park was the ceremonial center of the Khmer Empire; Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century and remains a functioning religious site and archaeological treasure.
