Angkor Wat, the magnificent temple, is a sight that you may have seen numerous photos of, but nothing can compare to witnessing it in person. Exploring this ancient city is simultaneously humbling and empowering. Built in the 12th century, Angkor Wat played a vital role in the Khmer empire and remains the largest religious monument in the world. To make the most of your visit, I recommend waking up early for the sunrise and exploring the temples immediately afterwards. This way, you can avoid the crowds and the intense heat. Take a break when midday approaches, and repeat the same routine the following morning until you’ve fully immersed yourself in the temple experience. Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
