Introducing Cambodia

Centuries of heritage, unbelievable natural beauty, and friendly locals make this welcoming destination a premier stop for all travel enthusiasts.

When is the best time to visit?
There’s no bad time of year to visit Cambodia, but the main tourist season happens when temperatures are coolest from November through February. To avoid some of the crowds, visit towards the end of the country’s dry season, which extends all the way into May. 

Where to go in Cambodia?
For an iconic Cambodian experience, tour the temples of the ancient city of Angkor. Additionally, there are many undiscovered off-the-beaten-path gems, like the untouched island beaches of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, the up and coming bustling city of Phnom Penh, and the 216 stone faces carved at Angkor Thom. 

How many days do I need?
Budget at least 6 days in Cambodia to explore the temples and also get to know the vibrant community.

How Many Days to Spend in Cambodia

Cambodia is a small country with a wealth of cultural attractions and landscapes, from glorious beaches to thick jungle-clad mountains and lush rivers. However, it's best not to pack too much into your visit because the infrastructure makes getting around quite slow. If you opt for a slow-travel experience that favors quality over quantity, it doesn't matter whether you have five days or two weeks in Cambodia, as you'll certainly have a rich and rewarding stay.

Plus, there's time to relax by the beaches of Kep before rounding out your adventure in Phnom Penh.

Steve was so helpful in planning our trip to Cambodia. It felt like we got to see all the highlights with no stress. The only negative is that we wanted to stay longer to do more! I feel grateful that we were able to see and do so much. Cambodia is a great place to visit.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for travelling with us in Cambodia, and also for your very sweet words. I'm glad you wanted to stay longer! Please come again and see more of the country.
I agree, Phum Baitang is a lovely place to stay and get a feel for the Cambodian countryside. And the lodges are wonderful.
It was also great to catch up with you during the market visit before the cookery class. Please send my regards to Joe.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you so much for the appreciative words. It is really satisfying to read you were pleased with the service before and during the trip, and also that our guides did a fantastic job. Moreover, I do love the fact that you 'understood' Cambodia, and recommend it to other travellers, 'seeking a transformative and culturally immersive experience'. It really is a special place and thanks for travelling with Kimkim/Travel Asia a la carte to discover the country.
