Capture Angkor During the Green Season !
FROM AUGUST TO OCTOBER
ANGKOR IN GREEN PHOTO TOUR
Every year, as the monsoon season starts, the temples of Angkor undergo a remarkable transformation. As the rain sweep across the vast temples’ complex, nature’s artistry takes center stage. Thick layers of moss gracefully cover the blocks of sandstone block, creating a unique and exciting playground for photographers.
However, it is not just the moss that contributes to the green palette; vibrant green lichens add a lively touch, contrasting beautifully against the ancient stones.Together, they create a stunning tapestry and provide endless photo opportunities.
To ensure a unique experience, we tirelessly explored the temples of Angkor for many months during the pandemic. Trekking through the lush jungles and cycling along hidden paths, we have meticulously scouted the best spots to capture the temples in their green glory during the monsoon season. We have unearthed hidden gems, allowing you to capture photographs that are truly distinct from the usual photo tour offerings.
Whether you are a seasoned visitor of the temples of Angkor or venturing here for the first time, our monsoon photography tour promises to be an extraordinary experience. Immerse yourself in the verdant landscapes, capture the allure of ancient stones adorned in green, and unveil the hidden jewels of Angkor through your lens. Join us on this unique photo tour and witness the temples of Angkor in a way that few have had the privilege to encounter.
During this period, which also happens to be the lowest tourist season, we are likely to have some locations all to ourselves. With fewer visitors, we can fully immerse ourselves in the serene ambiance of the temples.
We encourage you to bring a range of lenses during this tour: ultra wide-angle lens, portrait lens and why not a macro lens if you happen to have one.
So pack your gear and prepare to capture the vibrant beauty of the temples of Angkor during the monsoon season.

ANGKOR IN GREEN FAQ’s
As this tour takes place during the lowest tourist season, we have the privilege of experiencing certain locations with minimal crowds. This provides a unique opportunity to capture the temples in their pristine state and allows for uninterrupted exploration and photography. The natural transformation by the moss offers a distinctive and picturesque backdrop for your photographs. As we shoot during the monsoon for many years now, we will give guidance and suggestions to help you to create exceptional images.
The temples of Angkor begin to undergo a remarkable transformation in July. The peak of this colorful display typically occurs during the months of September and October. However, it's important to note that the exact timing can vary due to the changing weather patterns of the monsoon season.
The e-bike offers a more flexible mode of transportation, allowing you to easily navigate through narrow paths and reach locations that may not be accessible by van. While the shooting time may be reduced due to the energy expended in riding the e-bike, it offers the advantage of experiencing the temples up close and in a more intimate manner. It's important to consider your preferences, physical fitness level, and photography objectives when choosing between the two transportation options. The e-bike provides a unique and immersive experience, but it may require more stamina and can limit the shooting time compared to the convenience of a van. The van will be able to bring more gear on location, typically during the e-bike tour, photographers carry only a body and lens
