The Angkor Wat Sunrise Tour is one of the most popular tours of Angkor Wat. If you don’t mind waking up before the crack of down and heading down to the temples when everyone else is still sleeping, then this is the tour for you.
We’ll take you to Angkor Wat early to get a good spot where you can watch the sun come up over the towers of the famous temple.
After the sunrise, we’ll then explore the vast grounds of Angkor Wat before continuing the tour to see other famous temples such as Bayon and Ta Prohm.
