The best time to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat in Cambodia is during the dry season, from November to February. The sunrise times are between 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM.
When to visit
– Dry season (November–February): The skies are clear and the weather is cool and dry.
– Equinox (March 21 and September 21): The sun rises directly behind the central tower.
– Rainy season (May–October): Sunrise views can be spectacular on clear days, but there may be cloud coverage and rain showers.
What to do
– Arrive early to get a good spot and beat the crowds.
– Plan to arrive about 45 minutes before sunrise.
– Visit on a weekday to avoid the morning rush of tourists.
– Explore the temple while the temperatures are still cool.
Where to go
The reflecting pool in front of the main temple is one of the best spots for seeing the sunrise.
