Angkor Walking Tour

Angkor, Cambodia

Why Walk Angkor

The Angkor Archaeological Park contains the remains of the Khmer Empire's capitals, built between the 9th and 15th centuries. Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious structure, is just one of hundreds of temples scattered across a landscape of jungle and rice paddies. The complexity of Hindu and Buddhist iconography, the engineering of the enormous water management system, and the rise and fall of the Khmer civilization all require narration to comprehend. Visitors with audio guides see carvings and layouts that others walk right past.

Best Time to Visit

November through February for cool, dry weather. March through May is extremely hot. The rainy season (June-October) brings lush greenery and fewer crowds.
