About this experience
The unique sunrise at Angkor is the Angkor Equinox, when the sun rises perfectly behind the central tower of Angkor Wat, a celestial event that occurs only twice a year during the spring and autumn equinoxes (around late March and late September). This phenomenon is a testament to the astronomical and architectural knowledge of the ancient Khmer Empire.
Bakong temple is unique as it is the first temple-mountain of the Khmer Empire, built of sandstone, and represents a symbolic version of Mount Meru. Its design influenced later Khmer architecture, and it features a multi-tiered pyramid, a surrounding moat, and detailed guardian statues of elephants & lions.
Kampong Phluk is a cluster of villages on Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia, known for its houses built on tall stilts that adapt to the seasonal changes in the lake's water level. The name "Harbor of the Tusks" refers to the three villages, and residents have adapted their lifestyle to the lake by relying on fishing & shrimp farming.
