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.

Magic, just magic! Very demanding walks under a scorching sun are a small toll for one of the most charming places on Earth. The ticketing system is nothing but idiotic: only one place to buy your multiple entrances at $ 20. I was travelling with my own transport from North to South and wanted to visit a remote temple (40... More

We visited in December but the weather was sunny and very hot. Still, the experience of visiting the park including the Angkor Wat was amazing. A few observations: (a) There are 1-day, 2-day or 3-day tickets, costing 20,40 or 60 dollars for each person. Well, there are enough attractions for several days but I guess, for most people who just... More

This park is enormous - it is definitely well worth spending time here and is not to be rushed. It is incredible. A three 3 day pass is $40USD p/p - we had only intentionally decided on spending two days in the park, so opted for this pass in case we changed our minds, and figured it was more cost... More

instead its a 12 hour flight..but saying its worth it is an understatement to the factor of m. angkor wat itself is the biggest religious building in the world, and seeing dawn there with someone i love was one of the most seminal moments of my life. it is so amazing, in the real sense, that its hard to describe...but...
