Most nationalities require a visa to enter Cambodia; e‑visas are available online and stamps can be obtained on arrival — check current requirements before travel.
Angkor Park requires a separate entry pass (1‑, 3‑, or 7‑day options) — confirm with your operator whether it’s included in your booking.
Many sites have uneven surfaces and steps; the operator lists wheelchair accessibility for parts of Phnom Penh but temple access can be restricted — contact them for specific arrangements.
By land it’s approximately 320 km and takes roughly 6–7 hours depending on traffic and stops; flights are available and shorten transit time.
Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to 15th centuries; Phnom Penh rose in prominence under French colonial rule and bears scars from the Khmer Rouge period.
High visitor numbers put pressure on fragile temple masonry and local waterways; support community‑run projects, avoid single‑use plastics, and follow site rules to reduce impact.
