Start at Sunrise
The best photos and quieter pathways are at first light—pick the 4:30–5:00 AM start and bring a headlamp for the walk to viewing platforms.
Wear grip-focused footwear
Temples and waterfall rocks are uneven and often slippery; closed-toe shoes with good traction will keep you steady.
Bring cash in small denominations
Local vendors, boat operators, and temple donations are easiest with US dollars and Cambodian riel in small bills.
Protect against insects and sun
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent, especially for evenings on Tonle Sap and shaded jungle walks.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support and grip for temple steps, roots, and wet rocks at waterfalls.
Lightweight long-sleeve top
Sun protection and modest temple coverage while remaining breathable in heat.
Refillable water bottle with filter or electrolytes
Keeps you hydrated through long temple loops and between provided water stops.
