How to visit Angkor Wat Temples

If your next holiday destination is in Asia and in particular, in Indochina, then Cambodia tour

packages might be your points of interest. Cambodia has more than what you see and read in

internet to offer, this small but rich and big in diversity and culture has been in the center of

attention for centuries, there are still places that are not listed in the usual travel guides,

however, the majestic temples of Angkor Wat is what every travelers has dream to visit as this

is marked as the largest religious monument in the world dating back to the late 9th to 14th

century. However, planning a Cambodia tours and travel packages through the archaeological

site of inestimable value and uniqueness: the temple of Angkor Wat that is located about 5 Km.

From the city of Siem Reap, and is surrounded by dense rainforest. By visiting it, you will make

your trip truly special.

Angkor Wat travel guide

Situated in north of Cambodia, Angkor is the number one ancient temples of Cambodia and one

of the most incredible places in the world and a site that has been registered as a UNESCO

heritage site. What you really do not miss the temples, in the number of over a thousand, from

small mounds of rubble until the incredible Angkor Wat (the undisputed star of the whole city).

But let's see how to plan a trip to Angkor in a rational and safe.

To reach your destination, you have to book a flight to Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia. Upon

landing, you'll have to get a visa on arrival, head to the immigration in the airport and provide

with 20 dollars, passport and return ticket and you will have your visa in 10 minutes.

There is various options in order to get to Siem Reap and of course Angkor Wat, you can travel

by air, there are frequent flights per day that depart to Siem Reap. Tickets price are vary from

70 to 150 US dollars and the journey will last about 50 minutes! Alternatively you can travel by

express boat for US $ 30; you will be arrived after 5 to 6 hours of crossing the Mekong River.

This boat trip is exciting and I personally enjoyed traveling on the waters. If, however, after

spending a few days as a Holiday to Bangkok, capital of Thailand, you want to go to this

wonderful place, you can reach with a bus or a train as well through the town of Aranyaprathet,

on the border between Cambodia and Thailand.

Once in Siem Reap and if you are already on a guided tour, then you might be visiting the

temples via Tuk Tuk (motorcycle with 3 wheels), the temple exploration are vary depending to

the length of your stay in Siem Reap, however, the 3 day visit will be enough in order to visit the

complex and get to know the history of the temples.

Your holiday to Cambodia must be booked well in advance, especially if you are going during

the Chinese or Khmer New year festival because you might have trouble finding a decent

accommodation, luxury resorts and services are easy to get fully booked so if you are a fan of

luxury holidays then try to book well in a head of time to get the best possible deal, i advise you

to stay in Siem Reap.

Almost one hundred per cent of Cambodia tour packages are include a visit to Angkor Wat, this

is where you will be fascinated to see the largest religious site in the world. The Temple is the

pinnacle of artistic Khmer and consists of five towers (symbolizing the five peaks of the

mountain) bounded by a moat (which represent the mountains and the ocean surrounding it). If

you are a big fan of photography and willing to see the temples in sunset or in sunrise, then my

suggestion is to ask your guide about the best possible time and the location, as there are

1000’s of tourist and you will definitely don’t want to capture the peoples but the Angkor Wat

itself.
