Dawn breaks over a stone horizon and the first towers of Angkor Wat cut a silhouette against a pale sky. You step from the minivan into warm air that smells faintly of incense and wet earth, and the day becomes a measured rhythm of carved galleries, root-entwined façades, and slow boat crossings.

Dress for temples
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees to enter active religious sites; light, breathable fabrics work best in the heat.
Start early
Plan the heaviest walking for early morning to avoid mid‑day heat and get the best light at Angkor Wat and Bayon.
Bring local cash
Carry small Cambodian riel or US dollars for temple donations, boat rides on Tonle Sap, and purchases at markets and artisans' workshops.
Hydration & pacing
Sip water continuously and take shade breaks; uneven stone steps mean steady, deliberate walking is safer than rushing.
Lightweight, quick-dry clothing
Breathable clothes keep you comfortable during long walks and meet temple dress codes when layered appropriately.

Sturdy walking shoes with grip
Closed-toe shoes give traction on mossy steps and protect feet on uneven paths.
Wide-brim sun hat & sunscreen
Sun protection is essential for long exposure during open-site visits and boat crossings.
