    Holidays in Cambodia 2024 & 2025

    With its neighbours, Vietnam and Laos, Cambodia forms the region known as Indochina. This friendly country really is the Asia of old, with neatly tended rice fields, ornate temples, charming people and a traditional way of life.

    Only relatively opened to tourism, Cambodia offers a unique mix of first-class hotels set alongside its ancient architecture.

    At Freedom Destinations, we’ve been designing tailor made holidays for over twenty years and our team of Travel Experts would love to use their specialist knowledge to help you plan your Cambodia holiday.

    Things to do in Cambodia

    From the enchanting Temples of Angkor to the idyllic beaches of Koh Rong, the countryside of Kampot to the buzz of Phnom Penh, Cambodia is a country brimming with incredible scenery and exciting things to do. Our Asia Experts recommend taking time to do the following:

    • Explore crumbling temples entwined with vines and ancient relics reclaimed by nature on a tour of Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site
    • Learn about life under the Khmer Rouge regime with a visit to the extremely moving Genocide Museum and Killing Fields
    • Try Cambodia’s national dish, a Khmer curry called Fish Amok, at one of the many street food stalls found at Phnom Penh Night Market
    • Enjoy a taste of the castaway life on Koh Rong, an idyllic island framed by white sands and crystalline seas
    • Wander around the National Museum of Cambodia and muse at one of the world’s largest collections of Khmer art
    • Take a cyclo tour of Phnom Penh, and visit the beautiful Royal Palace, home of a near life-size diamond encrusted Buddha
    • Experience a unique three day adventure glamping in the Cardamom mountains, staying at the 4 Rivers Floating Lodge and kayaking through mangroves
    • Visit a Kampot Pepper farm and sample Cambodia’s only product with Protected Geographical Indication status (like Champagne and Parma Ham!)
    • Cruise past floating villages and fish farms on a tour of Tonle Sap, South East Asia’s largest freshwater lake
    • Discover Wat Phnom, an ancient Buddhist temple situated on the only ‘hill’ in Phnom Penh, that the Cambodian capital is named after
    • Dine on fresh crab at one of Kep’s beachside restaurants – seasoned with Kampot pepper of course!

    When is the Best Time to Visit Cambodia?

    With a minimum temperature of 23°C no matter the season, Cambodia makes an appealing holiday destination year-round.

    Unlike European countries, Cambodia has just two main distinct seasons – wet and dry. The dry season lasts from November to April, with average temperatures of 32°C. November to January are the coolest months, with temperatures usually in the high 20s, making this an appealing time to travel for those seeking a little winter sun.

    The months of March to May are some of the hottest, with temperatures frequently sitting in the high 30s. For those seeking a beach holiday, this can be a great time to relax on one of Cambodia’s golden sand beaches.

    When the monsoon season begins, lasting from May through to October, Cambodia’s landscape changes, the high rainfall giving life to lush green rice paddies and the iconic reflective pools around Angkor Wat. These can be some of the cheaper months to travel in Cambodia due to the short-but-heavy downpours.

    How Long Should I Spend in Cambodia?

    Most people choose to visit Cambodia for one to three weeks, with many combining their trip with another destination in South East Asia such as Vietnam, Thailand or Laos.

    At FREEDOM, we specialise in multi centre holidays and would be happy to design an itinerary for you that includes Cambodia and any of our other Asian destinations.

    Flights to Cambodia

    Cambodia has three main international airports: Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Sihanouk International Airport. There are currently no airlines that fly directly from Cambodia, so a stopover in Asia or the Middle East will be necessary before you are able to depart onwards. Popular stopover destinations include Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok; just speak to your Asia Consultant if you would like to extend to your stay in any of these locations.

    Getting Around in Cambodia

    To make the most of your time away, we would recommend flying between Cambodia’s main cities and centres. For example, it is a 5-8 hour drive south from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, in comparison to a short 40-60 minute flight. All internal flights and hotel transfers can be booked by your FREEDOM Consultant as part of your holiday package.

    What Language is Spoken in Cambodia?

    Khmer is the sole official language of Cambodia and is the main dialect that you will hear throughout the country, though English and French are also common, particularly in tourist areas. You will also notice many street signs are written in both Khmer and English, making travelling around an easy and simple process.

    Key phrases to learn are “Susadei” (hello) and “Arkun“ (thank you)!

    2024 & 2025 Cambodia Holidays

    It’s never too early to start planning your next adventure! Booking early gives you the chance to secure the best possible price for your holiday, with many resorts and hotels in Cambodia offering early bird discounts, and flights typically cheapest when they are first released.

    Plan Your Adventure…

    If you’re looking for holiday inspiration, our range of multi centre Cambodia holidays are a great place to start. Each of these itineraries has been designed by our team of Asia Experts, using their first-hand knowledge and travelling experiences. You can book these holiday packages as they are or change any part of them to suit your plans.

    Alternatively, take the stress out of planning and let us design a bespoke Cambodia or South East Asia holiday for you. Just let us know your interests and how long you would like to go for, and we will do the rest!

    What Our Clients Say

    Freedom Destinations were absolutely brilliant! Can’t praise them enough, had a wonderful 14 days & nights in Cambodia. All our transfers were private, flight bookings spot on, all turned up when they said they were going to & the hotels were exactly as we expected. All I can say is A1, by far the best travel company I have ever used. Nothing was too much trouble for my consultant.

    Neil & Dawn Ayres

    Amazing experience. Vietnam & Cambodia exceeded expectations. Lovely holiday, so much to see. Great people in all our hotels, nothing was too much trouble, great service from reps & drivers. So reassuring they were there to greet us at each new location & took us to our hotels / airports.

    Alison

    Thank you, thank you Freedom Destinations!! Just back from a magical trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and it was awesome. Stayed in Siem Reap near Angkor Wat – not to be missed! – then went to Ho Chi Minh City and Hoi An. I was a bit worried about travelling on our own but it all worked like a dream, the transfers were always waiting and the day trips Freedom organised were fantastic.

    Dave & Ellie Patterson

    Had a lovely fortnight in Cambodia. All the accommodation and tours met our expectations. We had fantastic drivers and guides. Would definitely recommend this company.
