Where are the temples of Angkor and how to get there

The Angkor temples lie about 6 kilometers from Siam Reap, northwest of Cambodia. Siem Reap is a small city, however very touristy. You will discover a lot of accommodation options if you browse on Booking and you will also find excellent costs on Airbnb.

Although not my favorite city, Siam Associate offers a lot of activities to invest in two or 3 days. You have a lot of dining establishments, both local and western food. If you wish to celebrate you will find it in Bar Street. You can also seize the day to give yourself a massage or enjoy the extremely suggested shows used by Cambodia Circus.

Another point in favor of Siam Reap being a couple of kilometers from the historical complex is that it is far better maintained than if it had the city around it. The temples are really easy to reach from Siam Reap and Siam Reap is linked by buses to almost any part of Cambodia.

How many days do I need to check out the temples of Angkor?

This concern is really personal and depends on how excellent is your enthusiasm for the ruins and the desire to be warm. Personally, although I take pleasure in checking out the fantastic ruins of various civilizations, a little dosage suffices for me. For me, one day is typically enough to get a concept of how it needs to have been centuries back, take a few images and sweat out all the toxins that I have in my body before returning to my accommodation exhausted,

However hey, if you’re passionate about ruins, history, and archeology, it might be a bit too little for you. It will likewise depend on your budget plan given that the entrance to the temples is not low-cost. The desire you need to be hot, which has actually been a very long time ago, and the travel time you have.

As I say, I believe that one day suffices. You can do the short circuit in which you will know the main thing. But if you have money and time to spare, I was left wishing to go back and lose myself in the most peripheral temples merely to delight in the landscape and paint a watercolor or compose for a while, without the pressure of wanting to see it and go through it all in one day.

Entryway cost to the temples of Angkor:

There are three kinds of tickets to go to the Angkor temples: the one-day ticket, the three-day ticket, and the one-week ticket.

• One-day ticket: it costs $ 37 and is just legitimate for the day you buy it.
• 
  Three-day ticket: it costs $ 62 and is valid for 3 days during a duration of 10 days from the purchase of the ticket. If one day you understand a bit, it is the best alternative since you can likewise go one day, yes and the next, so you do not end up exhausted.
• Ticket for one week: it costs $ 72 and with it, you can check out the temples for 7 days for a duration of one month from the purchase of the ticket. It is the least expensive considering that every day it would cost 7.2 $. But unless you want to do many watercolors and write a lot, you will have days to spare.
• Unfortunately, there is no discount rate for students, although kids under 12 are free. As for the purchase, you can pay by card or in cash, yes, do not forget to bring your passport.
• Super suggestion: if you purchase your ticket for one day simply at 5 pm you can go that day to watch the sundown inside the venue and the ticket will remain valid the next day. Naturally, hurry because they close at 5:30 pm so it is best to go quickly to see the sundown from Srah Srang lake and the next day you can see the sunset from Angkor Wat.

Angkor Temples Opening Hours:

Both the ticket workplace and a lot of temples open at 5 in the morning and close at 5:30 in the afternoon every day. As an exception, the Phnom Kulen and Beng Mealea temples, which open from 07:30 am to 05:30 pm, but for those, you need to buy a different ticket.

How to visit the temples of Angkor: by bike, bike, or tuk-tuk:

When going to the temples of Angkor you can do it by bike, motorcycle, or tuk-tuk. Everything depends upon just how much you want to sweat, how in shape you are, and just how much you want to spend.

The temples of Angkor by bike:

The most affordable option is the bike ($ 4), but likewise the most tiring. As I have currently mentioned, it is really hot in the temples of Angkor, especially at noon. Prepare yourself to pedal under a hellish sun and break a sweat. If you wish to look good in the images, it lacks a doubt the least suggested choice, but if you like the concept or do not have a lot of budgets, go for it.

The temples of Angkor by motorcycle:

Another option if you wish to check out the Angkor temples on your own is to rent a motorcycle. You will need to lease it in Siem Reap, in your hostel, or in a rental establishment. The price will depend upon the type of motorcycle and the cylinder capacity, but get used to the concept that the most inexpensive alternative is around EUR 10 a day.

Angkor by tuk-tuk:

The most comfortable choice, but also the most expensive, is to tour the temples of Angkor in a tuk-tuk. If you go alone, it is still a bit pricey, but if you are 2 or 3, it will be as inexpensive as going by bike. The price for a day is around $ 16-20 for the short circuit. We paid $ 18 for the whole day consisting of being gotten and dropped off at the door of our hostel. Likewise, if you are lucky – it was not our case – you will have a friendly chauffeur who knows a little English and can discuss things with you about the temples.

Something to keep in mind, especially if you are considering checking out the temples of Angkor one day, is that the temples themselves (the inside of them) are gone to on foot. That implies that if you pass a bike or motorbike you need to leave it parked at the entrance, check out the temple until the end and then undo the course to the entryway. On the other hand, if you choose to check out the temples by tuk-tuk, the motorist will go to the exit of the temple to await you when you leave. It appears silly, however, it will save you a great deal of time and a lot of walking, especially when there are two temples in a row. If you go on your own you will need to visit both temples back and forth while in tuk-tuk it is always going forward.

Tips for checking out the temples of Angkor:

If you are considering going to the temples of Angkor in one day, there are a couple of additional ideas:

• Prepare to be hot. Bring sunscreen, a cap or hat, and sunglasses.
• Bring water, some fruit, and nuts to snack from time to time.
• Consuming inside the hall is two times the price than on the street, but if you are very reasonable, you can bargain. We took a seat and when we saw the menu we stated we were leaving (since it was really expensive). Immediately the woman decreased the price for us so we wouldn’t leave.
• If you wish to go see the sunrise at Angkor Wat, go early since it gets crowded.
