At 4:30 AM, we were collected by Sophia, who skillfully transported us to an ideal location for witnessing the sunrise at Angkor Wat. From 5:00 to 6:00 AM, we observed the sun rising and transforming the surrounding light and scenery, which was truly remarkable. Even during the low (wet) season, the views were stunning, and as an added advantage, there were no large crowds—approximately only 100 people were present for the sunrise. We remained at Angkor Wat until around 8:30 AM before proceeding to the next temples. By 11:00 AM, we had visited three temples and took a well-deserved break for a delightful brunch and restroom stop. After visiting the final temple, we returned to the hotel by 2:00 PM. We walked approximately 10 kilometers, making for a long but extraordinary day, further enhanced by Sophia's extensive knowledge. The private tour allowed us to set our own pace, ask questions, and gain a wealth of information, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
