Planning guide

At a glance

Best time: November to February, the cool dry season. March to May is very hot
How long: a 3-day pass is ideal; 2 to 4 days in Siem Reap
Fitness: easy to moderate. Steep temple stairs and plenty of heat

Angkor passes (2026)

1 day: US$37
3 days: US$62
7 days: US$72

Buy at the official ticket office in Siem Reap or online at the Angkor Enterprise website. If you buy after 4:30 p.m., you can enter for sunset and the ticket counts for the next day. Multi-day passes carry your photo, so keep it with you.

A 3-day plan

Day 1: sunrise at Angkor Wat, then Angkor Thom (Bayon, the Terrace of the Elephants) and Ta Prohm, the "tree temple".
Day 2: the outer temples of the Grand Circuit, including Preah Khan and Neak Pean.
Day 3: Banteay Srei's pink carvings and the Kbal Spean riverbed, or the Kulen Mountain waterfalls.

Getting there and around

Siem Reap's new Angkor International Airport (SAI) opened in 2023, about an hour from town. Hire a tuk-tuk driver for the day, or a car with air conditioning in the hot season. Cycling the inner temples is a fun option in the cool months.

Rough costs per person (excluding flights and passes)

$ to $$: guesthouses and street food: about US$30 to $60 a day
$$$: boutique hotels, a tuk-tuk and a guide: about US$100 to $180 a day
$$$$ to $$$$$: luxury resorts: US$300+ a day
