You can spend several days in the park, we did only 2,5 days or so. we rented a tultul through our hotel at 18usd per day, presumably you could get even better deals. Children below 12 do not pay, but make sure you always carry passport (copy) of the kids with you, because they do control also once you are... More

Temples are all beautiful and interesting and could take a long time to cover the grounds. Day time temperature here are above 30c all year round. So it is quite physically demanding to just cover the inside of temples, cycling between temples might be take too much energy out of you that by the time you reach the temples, you're... More

These ancient temples are the reason why around 3 million tourists p.a. visit Siem Reap. I did some research before booking my holiday. From the internet, I hired a private tour guide and a separate driver with an air-conditioned Toyota Camry for 3 days. This place can get very hot and very dusty. We bought a ticket for 3 days...

Angkor is just beautiful with all the temples, ruins, trees and lakes. A truly unique experience for me. Take a day at least and explore as many temples as possible. Don't forget your sunblock and wear longer sleeves! You have to wear proper clothes to enter some temples too. Bring water and food with you if you don't want to... More

Ankor Wat is a memorable experience for anyone visiting 400m2 with so many to see (not just Angkor Wat) - you can decide how much you want to see or can take (1 - 7 days). Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cambodia, interested in history or the history of Hindu and Buddhist history. Tips: 1) If you can, avoid going... More

Definately a must see, this is why we came to Cambodia and were not disappointed. The incredible mural carvings are in amazing shape, the facility is so large, and tiring to trek arounc but worth every step. We went for sunrise and were very glad we made the effort.

Cycling around the Angkor temples, you are amazed by so much beauty and history ... It's quite expensive to enter (40USD/3 days) but it is definitely worth every penny. We realized also that three days weren't enough to explore all the wonders of Angkor. We will be back, that's for sure. This place is just magical. My advice: try to... More

You wonder whether you might be disappointed after having heard so much about Angkor Wat and having been to other Hindu temples like Prambanan in Java but be assured you will not! The sheer scale of it is breathtaking and the detail of the cavings and stone work amazing. Don't miss it.

It's a very huge park, normally you have to take at least 3 hours to explore it. Remember to put on sunblock/umbrella or hat and drink sufficient water. Take a rest when you feel tired.
