SMALL TOUR WITH SUNRISE ITINERARY

Start your day early at 4:40 am to witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple. After enjoying the breathtaking sunrise, take a deeper exploration of Angkor Wat. You can take a small break for breakfast at a local restaurant or request a breakfast box from the hotel staff.

Next, continue your tour with Angkor Thom, including visits to the Bayon Temple, Baphuon, Terrace of the Elephants, and Terrace of the Leper King. Angkor Thom, founded by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, was one of the largest Khmer cities and remained the capital until the 17th century.

After lunch, visit Ta Prohm, famous for the gigantic tree roots intertwined with the temple structure.

End your day by returning to Siem Reap for dinner at a local restaurant and stay overnight. You have optional transportation by Tuk Tuk, Car, or Mini Van.

When visiting Angkor Wat in 2025, choosing the right transportation can enhance your overall experience, and the good news is there’s something for every budget and travel style. For comfort and flexibility, hiring a private Tuk-Tuk is one of the most popular choices, costing around $15 to $25 USD per day, with a small extra fee for sunrise tours. It’s a scenic and authentic way to explore the temples while staying cool with the breeze and occasional cold water provided by the driver. For those seeking more comfort—especially families or couples—private cars with drivers are available for $35 to $60 USD per day, offering air-conditioning and a smoother ride across longer distances. If you prefer a more guided experience, group tours typically cost $25 to $40 USD per person, while private guided tours with a vehicle can range from $60 to $120 USD, depending on the level of service and number of travelers. Adventurous and budget-conscious travelers might enjoy bicycle rentals, which cost only $2 to $5 USD per day, or e-bikes for around $10 to $15 USD, providing a more sustainable and flexible way to roam the park—though the heat and long distances should be considered. Motorbike rentals are another option at about $8 to $15 USD, but keep in mind that riding them inside the Angkor complex is restricted for tourists. For eco-conscious visitors, electric tuk-tuks or small EV cars are becoming more common, priced around $25 to $40 USD per day, and offer a quieter, greener way to travel. No matter which mode you choose, it’s best to start early in the morning to beat the heat and crowds—and always carry water, sunscreen, and a sense of wonder.

As of 2024, travelers visiting the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia, have multiple official options for purchasing the mandatory Angkor Ticket Pass. The primary and longest-standing sales point is the Angkor Enterprise Main Ticket Office, located approximately 4 km from downtown Siem Reap along Road 60. This office operates from 5:00 AM until 5:30 PM daily, catering to early visitors heading for sunrise at Angkor Wat. However, in a move to improve convenience for tourists, authorities have introduced a second official ticket counter at Heritage Walk Mall, a modern shopping and dining complex situated just minutes away from the popular Pub Street area. This secondary outlet, open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, provides the same services as the main office but in a more central, air-conditioned environment with generally shorter queues—making it an excellent choice for those staying in the city center who wish to avoid the morning rush at the primary location.

 

For tech-savvy travelers, the official online ticket portal https://www.angkorenterprise.gov.kh allows advance purchase of passes, which can be presented as QR codes at temple entrances. This digital option is particularly useful for avoiding lines entirely. Pricing remains consistent across all sales channels: $37 for a 1-day pass, $62 for a 3-day pass (valid for 10 days, with any three days of entry), and $72 for a 7-day pass (valid for a month, with any seven days of entry). Children under 12 enter free but must present a passport or ID for verification.

 

A critical requirement for all pass purchases is the on-the-spot photograph taken at the time of issuance, which is embedded into the ticket to prevent transferability. Visitors should also note that passes are non-refundable and must be kept intact throughout their stay, as frequent checks occur at temple entrances. For those planning to witness the iconic Angkor Wat sunrise (with gates opening at 5:00 AM), purchasing the pass the day before is strongly advised to bypass morning ticket office delays. Additionally, while the Heritage Walk Mall offers extended accessibility, it’s worth confirming its hours during holidays or special events, as adjustments may occur.

 

With these options, travelers can choose the most suitable method based on their itinerary—whether prioritizing convenience, avoiding crowds, or securing tickets in advance for a seamless experience at one of the world’s most magnificent heritage sites.
