Start at sunrise
Begin at first light to see Angkor Wat in its calmest moments and avoid midday heat and crowds.
Follow temple dress codes
Knees and shoulders must be covered to enter active religious sites—carry a lightweight sarong or shawl.
Bring refillable water
Temperatures rise quickly; carry 1–2 liters and refill where available to avoid buying single-use plastic bottles.
Watch your footing
Temples have uneven stones, carved steps and occasional loose rubble—sturdy shoes with grip help prevent slips.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt or sarong
Covers shoulders and/or knees to meet temple dress codes and protects from sun.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction and support for uneven stone, roots, and packed dirt paths.
Refillable water bottle with filter or 1–2L capacity
Keeps you hydrated through the hot, humid day and reduces single-use plastic.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Critical for midday sun between temples and while waiting at viewpoints.
