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.
Off season
The wet season extends from April to September and is considered the off season. March, April and May are extremely humid with temps hitting 35C – 40C, while the months of June to August are hot and wet, but the rains usually fall in the afternoon or at night. While the rainy season may not be for everyone, booking cheap flights to Cambodia at this time can be worthwhile with spectacular waterfalls and rivers, and lush green vegetation.
