Peak season
Magnificent ruins and temples are the reason why most travellers take cheap flights to Cambodia, but there is much more to this fascinating country. The capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, is located in the south of the country. Once known as the ‘Pearl of Asia’, it is a bustling city and lively all year round with interesting architecture, great cuisine and shopping opportunities. Siem Reap in the northwest is a popular tourist destination for its proximity to the magnificent Angkor Wat temple complex, boutique hotels and restaurants. It is mainly busy during the dry season and quietens down in the off season. The country has a tropical monsoon climate with the dry season running from November to April and when most travellers arrive on flights to Cambodia. The wet season runs from May to November. November and December are the coolest months of the year with temperatures averaging 24C – 26C. Accommodation should be booked well in advance if you’re planning to visit during the peak Christmas and New Year period.
