Sunrise at Angkor Wat is a breathtaking experience, as the ancient temple is beautifully silhouetted against the sky. Shades of pink, orange, and purple form the perfect backdrop for the ancient temple.
Visitors usually gather at the temple's reflecting pool to capture the iconic view of the main spires mirrored in the water, as the sun slowly rises behind them. The mystical atmosphere, combined with the serenity of the early morning, creates an unforgettable, but busy moment as hundreds of tourists gather around the scene.
Most tourists immediately go inside of Angkor Wat after sunrise, but as it is packed with tourists, it’s better to head to Ta Phrom, famous for the Lara Croft movie, first.
