Cambodia Favorites: Photos by venitha

Like the demon Ravana stealing away with the beautiful Sita, Cambodia's rainy season absconded with the incredible sunrises, breathtaking sunsets, and optimal lighting conditions around which most Angkor Wat itineraries are planned. Not that I'm complaining. We were duly compensated with cooler temperatures and sparser crowds, and we still had a surprisingly hard time narrowing down our favorite photos to only ten.
