Angkor Wat of Cambodia
Angkor Wat Temple lies 6km north of Siem Reap by good road. It can be visited throughout the year between sunrise and sunset for the basic cost of an entrance ticket [single day US$20] and local transportation. The temple is usually combined with visits to other nearby Angkor temples.
As the world’s largest religious building and an architectural wonder Angkor Wat temple gets overun with coachloads of tourists at peak times. Most guidebooks and temple guides continue to follow an established route and timing of visit so concentrating the crowds into certain places at key times of the day. Our researchers will plan your visit to the temples quite differently over your stay for the optimum elements of lighting and crowd avoidance as determined by our research programs. Other organisations guess at the best routes and timing; we take the time to measure crowd flows, test itineraries and understand the best program for any given season.
There is more to Siem Reap than Angkor Wat and more to Cambodia than Siem Reap. Historical and photogenic forest temples, lifestyles in the countryside, villages and fishing communities, the birdlife of the Tonle Sap lake and the mountains – we take the time to understand your interests and will produce an optimum tour itinerary to suit you.
