Buy your Angkor Pass early
Purchase the Angkor Archaeological Park pass at the ticket center with your passport before the tour — the tour price typically does not include admission.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Temples have steep stone steps and uneven laterite surfaces; good shoes reduce slips and make climbs more comfortable.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Carry a refillable water bottle, sunscreen and a hat — the plains around the temples offer little shade between complexes.
Respect restricted areas
Follow APSARA signage: don’t climb on fragile carvings or enter closed galleries; some areas are closed for conservation.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provides traction on laterite, stone steps and muddy paths after rain.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated between the stops; tour provides bottled water but refilling reduces waste.
Light rain jacket
Monsoon showers can arrive suddenly from May–October; a packable jacket keeps you dry.
