🌄 Breathtaking Sunset at Phnom Bakheng Temple

#wecreate

📍Location:
Angkor Archaeological Park, Krong Siem Reap 17000, Cambodia.

⭐ Highlights:
You can experience very magical moments throughout the Angkor complex, one of them is watching the sunset from Phnom Bakheng. Phnom Bakheng is a temple mountain in honor of the Hindu god Shiva. It is one of the oldest temples in Angkor Archeological Park.

To watch the sunset, you can take a 20 minute easy hike to the top. It can get crowded at times, so be there before 17:30.

As a bonus, you'll also get to see the Angkor Wat complex from a high elevation distance. Check out my 3rd picture!

😍 Tip: If you buy the Angkor 1-day pass after 17:00 in the afternoon, you can enter the park for free to watch this sunset, then visit the other Angkor temples the next day!

👍 Rating: 8/10. Majestic views of an ancient historical site, but the crowds were just too overwhelming on a weekend.
