Angkor Wat After Dark

The Soul of Cambodia

When the cicadas begin to sing and their chants resonate throughout Angkor Wat, the night is about to fall. The temple is emptied of its visitors, leaving only the spirits of the ancestors to reclaim their abode. Under the light of the stars, magic takes place, and nothing can be as mysterious and breathtaking as seeing Angkor Wat at night. Visiting the temples by moonlight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience. Everything seems so different, yet so authentic, as darkness reveals the soul.
