The temple sits on a hill, where many visitors arrive here after 16:00 for sunset. The walking time between the parking spot and the temple takes about 15 - 20 minutes. It's a fairly large temple and the moment when the sun goes down and the sky color is gradually changing from bright to dim is captivating. Angkor Wat tower is visible from the upper deck of the temple.
