If you are standing at Angkor Wat facing east towards the rising sun in different seasons, you will notice that the position of the sun changes dramatically throughout the year. During the month of December, the sun rises at the far right side of the temple (south), while in June, it rises at the far left (north). Additionally, during the periods around the two equinoxes of March and September, the sun rises behind the towers of Angkor, creating a breathtaking sight. This celestial dance offers photographers and visitors alike a chance to witness the majestic beauty of Angkor Wat in a variety of perspectives and lighting conditions throughout the year.

After sunrise, we will explore the vast and rich of Angkor Wat temple, taking pictures at different angles, playing with light and shadows and capturing the most beautiful devatas carved in sandstone.
Next destination will be the Ta Prohm Temple, famous for its giant trees where the most impressive scenes of the Tomb Raider movie were filmed. We will continue on by veering you away from the crowd to a remote temple in the jungle.
Before the sun goes down behind the dense Angkorian jungle, you might be overwhelmed by the Bayon with its 216 giant faces carved in sandstone. We will end the day at Angkor Thom, to watch the sun set behind the stone giants at the entrance of the defunct city.
The Terrace of the Leper King is just north of the Terrace of Elephants.
The south gate of Angkor Thom is a very famous spot within Angkor Archeological Park and one that shouldn't be missed.
