A trip to Cambodia is a unique experience that can only enrich the traveler’s emotions with an unforgettable memories by visiting its gigantic attractions The Cambodian people have a yearning, a thousand smiles, mild-mannered and never intrusive (as is the case in other Asian countries). It ‘a fact of young people (the recent war has killed the older generation) which retains its historic identity thanks to the wonderful archaeological sites but also through their own customs and traditions. It ‘hard to express the mood that pervades us even now as well as the emotions we experienced in ground Khmer. We will limit the description of the various paths, tips hotels and transportation as well as expenses incurred during the trip. The beauty of Cambodia must be seen to realize the immense archaeological wealth available to Cambodia and the emotions that can’t be written on words.

Include Angkor Wat in Siem Reap on your Cambodia tours and Travel Packages

Visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap: It is a complex that have been built as the seat of the Khmer Empire, visiting the Angkor will give you an extraordinary experience that could be hard to forget. The temple complex was built in the early 12th century in honor of Vishnu and the mausoleum of King Suryavarman II (1113-1150), Angkor Wat is the highest expression of Khmer art that have been expanded through the Khmer Empire, the site combines harmonious architecture, great proportions and artistic details, Angkor Wat is the largest religious building in the world that ever made, local khmer call it as the mother of all temples. The hundred or so temples built between the ninth and fifteenth centuries are now the heritage passed down to us a sacred structure, the center of an empire that stretched from Burma to Vietnam. Nowadays, all of the travelers who coming to visit this amazing country either through the Cambodia tours and travel packages or alone will definitely include a few days visit to Siem Reap just for visiting the wonders of Ancient Angkor Wat.

Without doubt, the Angkor is the pearl and the soul of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the center of spiritual, political and geographical and the most important ancient civilizations in Southeast of Asia. The heart of the great Khmer empire, perfect fusion of creative ambition and spiritual devotion and a place of wonder and amazement lost in legend and surrounded by nature.

The story began in the year 802, when Jayavarman II declared himself the universal god-king, according devaraja worship, thus beginning the first of a succession of 39 kings who ruled over the lands of Cambodia. Thus he was created the Angkor and its temples, in a period marked by great and imaginary buildings, majestic temples and lavish decorations, complex irrigation systems and ambitious architectural projects. But the pomp reached became a target for the attacks of their neighbors Siamese. After repeated invasions, which culminated in the looting of Angkor in the 15th century, the city was abandoned to the jungle until the 19th century, when a French missionary discovered and revealed the existence of this jewel of the orient.

Siem Reap is the nearest town to the temples, current basis and starting point to visit the Angkor Wat archaeological complex. Siem Reap has become a base and the most important tourist attraction of the country due to the existence of the archeological sites in the Angkor Complex.

The city of Siem Reap is an interesting city with all those old shops and elegant French style and graceful tree-lined boulevards, French Indochina cultural heritage, mingle with luxury hotel and spa, gastronomy and shopping. Effervescent bars for foreigners are located throughout the city, especially in the note and lively Pub Street adjacent to Psar Chas. While cultural events such as the Apsara dance, the ancient Khmer dance, can guide us in knowing the habits and customs of the Khmer wonderful culture.

Siem Reap has demonstrated its ability to capitalize on its traditions with an eye toward the future. Only in the coming years we would know if the cradle of the Khmer gets its way of change to open up to the world, while keeping alive their magnificent traditions. One good way is through the cultural Cambodia tour packages that introduce travelers the way to learn about the Khmer culture by visiting the orphans and the cultural sites through the country.

When to go to Angkor and Siem Reap?

Although throughout the year you can enjoy a tropical climate and a lush rainforest, but this is well consider that from May to October, the region is battered by monsoons that could (but not always) have a negative impact on the possibility of taking long and excursions to Angkor Wat. The perfect time to visit is during the winter, when rainfall is minimal and the temperature is below 30 degrees.

Sunset At The Phnom Bakheng Temples

Phnom Bakheng Temple this place has been famous for a while now as the spot for sunset watching. You will get to see the Angkor Wat complex from a distance, and at high elevation. You will have to climb the stairs until you reach it but once at the top of the Phnom Bakheng temple, you will enjoy the enviable position of being able to see an all 360 degrees view of the landscape.

But be aware that due to massive travelers invading the space, a limit number of 300 tourists has been allowed at the top of Phnom Bakheng each one time.

Sunset At Reflection Ponds Of Angkor Wat

There is another point where you can catch the beautiful pinkish reflections on Angkor War called the Reflecting Pond. This is the most famous spot where photos are taken at sunrise and sunset and it is situated on the left of the Angkor Wat temples. Being a little less crowded and most pleasant place to sit down to watch the views, you can even bring your picnic and set up a romantic afternoon. You will be able to take a nice picture with the temple reflection on the pond in front of the temple.

Sunset at Phnom Krom Hill

Phnom Krom is a hill located 12 km southwest of Siem Reap and is home to a spectacular Angkorian temple built in the 9th century. Phnom Krom can be a really nice spot to go watch the sunset as well. There you are almost sure that you will be the only people there. And you will have a great view at the top of Phnom Krom overlooking the Tonle Sap.

Last GREAT tip to find the best place to watch the sunset in Angkor Wat is to look for yourself the best spot.

If you are heading to the Reflexing Ponds one more to watch the Angkor Wat sunrise this time, be mindful of a few things first. Make sure to stand absolutely close to the waters edge so no one can take a spot in front of you. For that, yes, you will need to arrive quite early. The gates to the temple open at 5 am, and you need to be there as they let the first people in. Ans little insiders advice, find a spot that where there aren’t too many lily pads, as this can prevent you from seeing the reflexion in the water.

Sunrise in Srah Srang

Known as the Royal Bathing Pool, it’s a large pond and also a popular Angkor destination for sunrises. Srah Srang is located across the road from the east entrance of Banteay Kdei and is a reservoir just opposite to the Banteay Kdei temple. It is said to be one of the most beautiful sunsets in the region with the reflexion on the water and the peaceful environment.

It even can excess 35 in March and April. The weather in November, December, January is cooler and more pleasant. The humidity in the dry season is also high, especially in March and April.

Angkor Wat faces the West, so at the time of sunset, the temperature outside is still so high, which is uncomfortable and may make you feel tired. However, over the course of the dry season, the sky is clear, which offers you a spectacular view and experience of watching the sky’s ever-changing red, yellow and orange hues.

From November to February, the sun rises up later in Angkor Wat. The sunrise time ranges from 06:05 to 06: 30. So you don’t need to be an early bird but still can admire the beauty of the sunrise.

6. Must-know Tips for Watching Sunrise & Sunset in the Angkor Wat Complex

1. Setting camera for the sunrise

To capture some colorful shots or a stunning time-lapse of the sunrise, don’t forget to bring a tripod so that you can have your camera set an exposure length. You’d better choose the small tripod or the foldable one.

2. Set up the long exposure techniques

hen you photograph a sunrise, your camera will think the scene needs to be brighter and will crank up the exposure. The sun may be bright, but you also get dark areas in your scene. Set the Aperture to a medium aperture like 7.1 or 8, or a wider setting like F3.5 or lower in the very early morning. To keep one step ahead of your camera, review your photos as your photo shoot progresses. If the image on your LCD monitor looks brighter than the scene before you, use exposure compensation to decrease the exposure.

3. Choose the focal length

Choose a wide-angle focal length between 24mm and 35mm. The sun will be relatively small in the image, but you’ll capture the beauty of the temples and any clouds that are in the scene.

Travel safety in Cambodia

How safe is Cambodia? This is a very common question that we’ve received over the period of 10 years of working in tourism of Indochina, the answer is don’t worry, Cambodia is very safe and traveling inside the country from the cities to the rural area will be full of new experience, however, there are some tips that helps you to know the Cambodia better, here we go:

I and my team live and work in Siem Reap and have been travelled extensively throughout the country and we mutually agree that Cambodia it is much safer than many Western cities. The capital city of Cambodia, the Phnom Penh is another story, is much bigger and there are areas where it would not be wise to go after dark – as in many cities in the world.

The Cambodia Culture and social mere

Cambodian culture and traditions are largely shaped by the religion; 95% of the population practices Theravada Buddhism. The other small religions are Islam and the Christianity that is practicing mainly in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

If you haven’t been to Cambodia or Indochina yet, and don’t know where to go and what to see, perhaps you should consider an escorted Cambodia tour packages in order to visit the key attractions and the places that you won’t be able if you travel on your own and you will enjoy a visit of the country’s most intimate and fun and you will have less chance of cultural disappointing.

The concept of “face”, as in many other Asian cultures, even in Cambodia is essential. Belittle the Cambodians would arouse resentment – use of sarcasm and self to defuse a tense situation is far better and common. Cambodia is definitely a place where you have the possibility to learn and live in a more relaxing society, keep smiling and you will get more smile and welcoming by the locals and don’t forget that Cambodia is a country with a strong Buddhist influence, so, dress modest and observe the culture when visiting the temples.

Cambodian are generally very hospitable and welcoming and you will have chance to get invited as a guest in their own house, village, and countryside. Even the poorest Cambodian will likely to share his plate of rice and his glass of water with wealthy foreigners and the fact is they would like to appreciate you for traveling in Cambodia in this way.

The traditional greeting way of Cambodia people called ”Sompiah”, a gentle hint of a bow with folded hands on the chest and the tips of the fingers pointing upwards. Many Khmer think that Westerners do not understand this nuance; if you can ask a Khmer to teach you this greeting form then you will be more welcome by the locals, however and nowadays, the Sompiah is not that common in the cities but if you invited to the local house then Sompiah will be the only greeting, so, do not forget to learn how to Sompiah.

How to dress in Cambodia

The Khmer people are modest and tend to dress in clothes that reveal as little as their body. Wear shorts or skirts are quite unusual for Cambodian, but for you as travelers it will be not a problem at all, however, if you visiting the temples and pagodas then try to avoid wearing the short dress and the top tank as this will be considered as irresponsible and impolite, this is like going to church on bikini! Some sites will even refuse admission, normally in those cases there is possibility of renting long dresses, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh is one of the places that refuse your entrance if you not wearing the modest dress.

Wedding in Khmer culture

If during your stay you should happen to tighten friendships, then it is very likely that you may be invited to a wedding. These colorful and noisy events last 2-3 days (although these days, is now reduced to one and a half). Brides traditionally are used to change clothes several times. Normally these are traditional clothes in different colors. If there is a big wedding then you might be seen thousands of guests and friends who come to celebrate and help the couple to get their marriage life started, among people there are those who will stop longer and some less, and it is customary to leave an envelope with the money before leaving. The Barang (foreigners) during lunch will be asked to drink several times with the married couples. Even if you were not invited you perceive a wedding nearby, especially the loud music and swarms of people walking around the place.

Entertainment in Cambodia

While many visitors attend the traditional Apsara dances, Khmer youth are more used to go to the bar with karaoke, the various clubs and discos in the cities where you will be entertain whole night. Interms of sport, Volleyball and football are growing well between the youth and along with other improvised games that is a part of their culture as well. Siem Reap at night is considered the temple of entertainment for local youth, boys and girls come out to meet, dance and have fun.
