Helicopter tours over Angkor Wat are a smart splurge, offering jaw-dropping perspectives you simply can’t get from the ground.
In just 20 minutes, you’ll soar above the massive temple complex, capturing incredible photos of the iconic spires and moats that typically get lost in the jungle canopy.
The standout tour combines the aerial adventure with an afternoon exploring the temples up close – complete with a local guide, authentic Khmer lunch, and full insurance coverage.
What I love most: seeing how the ancient Khmer architects perfectly aligned these massive structures – something that only becomes clear from above.
