Before dawn a motorbike-scented breeze carries you across damp fields toward the hulking silhouette of Angkor Wat. Torches and low conversation give way as the eastern sky loosens color and the temple’s reflection sharpens in the moat — a moment that has drawn travelers and pilgrims for a century.

History
Angkor Wat was begun in the early 12th century as a state temple and mausoleum for King Suryavarman II and later reworked by Jayavarman VII; the site reflects Hindu and Buddhist phases of Khmer history.
Conservation
The sandstone temples are sensitive to erosion and visitor wear; stick to marked paths, avoid touching bas-reliefs, and support local conservation fees tied to the Angkor Pass.

Buy your Angkor Pass early
Arrive at the ticket center before temple access to avoid queues—your guide usually helps arrange this at the start of the tour.
Dress respectfully
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing for temple entry; lightweight fabrics keep you cool while meeting dress codes.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry a refillable bottle and sip frequently—the day is long and tropical heat can drain energy quickly.
Protect your camera at dawn
Low light and crowds mean a small tripod or steady hand helps; arrive early to secure a good vantage point.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt
Keeps sun off and meets temple dress requirements while remaining breathable.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed toes and good grip help on uneven stone steps and dusty paths.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial during long periods in heat and humidity.
Wide-brim sun hat and sunscreen
Prevents sunburn during open exposures between temples.
