Spectacular Spots for Sunrise & Sunset
As the year 2018
presents its concluding weeks, make a plan to view world’s top sunrise/sunset
locales
ENJOY A SUNRISE TREK
Region: Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand)
Also known as ‘The Roof
of Thailand’, Doi Inthanon National Park tends to be on every nature
enthusiast’s list who visits Thailand to explore nature in its bounty. Located
in Chiang Mai province, the summit of Doi Inthanon National Park is popular for its great views.
Waterfalls and some fun-to-try nature trails along with two chedis (stupas) that are
dedicated to the king and queen are all visited here by travellers and locals.
The summit viewpoint that faces East is ideal to watch the sunrise. Many also
throng here to watch sunset as well with the the two chedis that face West. One
of seasonal attractions Siamese
sakura flowers (blooming in Jan and February) also attracts bird
watchers.
SUNRISE AT ANGKOR WAT & SUNSET AT ANGKOR THOM
Region: Siem Reap (Cambodia)
There are some handy tips if you are keen to watch the sunrise
at Angkor Wat complex.
To begin with, you must wake up very early to get to the temples
for a good spot (The gates to the temple open at 5 am). However, for sunrise
watchers, travellers who have been here say that an entry ticket should be
bought a day earlier to avoid
last-minute hassles. Remember to respect the traditions of the Cambodians by wearing an outfit
that covers your shoulders and knees. Sunset is best viewed at Angkor Thom.
TURKISH DELIGHTS FOR THE YEAR-ENDER TRAVELLERS
Region: Goreme in Cappadocia
One of the finest ways to watch the sunrise moment with
the Sun casting its golden hue in
Cappadocia is aboard a hot-air balloon during early morning hours. Goreme is a
popularly visited town that is located among the fairy chimney rock formations in the historical region
of Turkey. A balloon flight
here in Cappadocia is truly revelatory and interesting to the core for
adventure lovers, prewedding
photographers with curious couples-to-be and tourists.
Even the entire procedure of inflating a hot air balloon during
the wee hours is systematic and you can help the pilot and his crew. Once up,
watch the panoramic sights of the fairy
chimneys rock formations. Once the flight is done with, a champagne
breakfast celebration often awaits the guests on ground where you can take some
memorabilia back with you.
Meanwhile, when you go touring in Istanbul, then make sure you watch the sunset moments
at the beautiful Blue Mosque and
Hagia Sophia Mosque. Sit back and relax as the sun goes down on the
horizon filling your senses with
such gratitude and awe.
