Cambodia Tour Packages

Most trips centre on Siem Reap, the gateway to the Angkor temple complex, combined with the riverside capital Phnom Penh and, increasingly, the southern coast for beach time. It pairs naturally with Vietnam, Thailand or Laos.

A few practical notes make any Cambodia trip smoother. The currency is the Cambodian riel (KHR), though US dollars are used everywhere, and Khmer is the official language, and English is widely spoken in tourism. Short domestic flights and private cars link the main destinations, while tuk-tuks are the fun way to get around town and the temples. Pack for the season and carry a little local cash for markets, tips and small vendors.

Cambodia sits at the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, a largely flat country shaped by the mighty Mekong River and the vast Tonle Sap lake, with a short coastline of islands and beaches in the south.

Cambodia is tropical, hot year-round, with a dry season and a wet monsoon season.

The best time to visit Cambodia is the dry season from November to March, when the weather is warm and comfortable for exploring the temples. April and May are very hot, and the June-to-October wet season brings lush green landscapes, fewer crowds and lower prices, with rain usually falling in short afternoon bursts.

Cambodia's Khmer culture is ancient and deeply Buddhist, its golden age immortalised in the temples of Angkor. The country carries the memory of the Khmer Rouge era with dignity, and visitors who take time to understand it leave with a deeper appreciation of Cambodia's resilience and warmth.

The places most worth your time in Cambodia:

• Angkor Wat — the largest religious monument on earth, unforgettable at sunrise
• Angkor Thom & the Bayon — the enigmatic stone faces
• Ta Prohm — the temple wrapped in jungle roots
• Phnom Penh — the Royal Palace and moving genocide memorials
• Tonle Sap — floating villages on the great lake
• Koh Rong & the southern islands — white-sand beaches and clear water

Khmer cuisine is subtle and fragrant, less fiery than its neighbours, built around fresh herbs, rice and freshwater fish from the Tonle Sap.

Dishes to seek out: fish amok, lok lak, kuy teav noodle soup, Khmer red curry, num banh chok. On our tours we are happy to steer you toward the best local food and to cater for any dietary needs — just let us know in advance.

The Khmer New Year in April and the Water Festival (Bon Om Touk) in November, when boat races fill the rivers of Phnom Penh, are the great national celebrations.

Most visitors need a visa, available as an e-visa applied for online before travel or on arrival at the main airports. Visa rules vary by nationality and change from time to time, so always confirm the current requirement for your own passport before booking. If you travel with us, we will guide you through exactly what you need.

A little courtesy goes a long way in Cambodia. Dress modestly at the temples (shoulders and knees covered), remove hats in sacred areas, and treat images of the Buddha and the monarchy with respect.

Do dress respectfully at religious and cultural sites, ask before photographing people, carry small change for tips and markets, and stay hydrated. Don't drink tap water unless it is confirmed safe, flash valuables in crowded areas, or rush — the best trips here are unhurried ones.
