Angkor is often busy and is rapidly growing in popularity.

We can plan your itinerary around the temples in any way you wish, in order of their age, perhaps, as they track the Khmer Empire’s history, or, for photographers, following the sun to ensure that each are at their most photogenic.

Local guides knowledge for avoiding the crowds

Therefore, we take full advantage of our local guides' experience, as they know which temples to avoid on given days and times, thus creating the best opportunities for you to experience the world’s largest religious monument in relative peace and quiet.
