Cambodia Holidays


asia
Cambodia holidays reward visitors with truly memorable experiences; from awe-inspiring temples and colonial heritage to lush, forested mountains and white sand beaches.

Undoubtedly the main draw to Cambodia, if not all South East Asia, is the spectacular Angkor Wat. Built between the 9th and 13th Centuries, hundreds of temples make up this impressive complex, with the enduring myths and striking architecture of this ancient city still enchanting travellers to this day.

Although these magnificent temples should not be missed, Cambodia holidays are about more than just Angkor and the country boasts a diverse range of attractions within its compact borders. With warm hospitable people, crumbling French colonial architecture and natural highlights that range from endless rice fields and beautiful waterways to lush jungles and tropical beaches, there is something to appeal to everyone on a Cambodia holiday.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Cambodia holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Cambodia on a private tour with an expert guide, on a sociable guided group tour, or are simply looking for the best place to stay on a luxury beach break – they are the perfect people to ask.

WHERE TO GO IN CAMBODIA

Although the magnificent Temples of Angkor are undeniably the most famous attraction in Cambodia, beyond Siem Reap you will find lesser known treasures. The capital Phnom Penh boasts colonial architecture, colourful markets and bustling cafés whilst, the jungle-clad Cardamom Mountains and remote eastern provinces are home to rare wildlife, cascading waterfalls and tribal communities.

Lastly don't forget the beaches! The beautiful Koh Rong Archipelago, a string of islands dotted amongst warm emerald waters, is the perfect conclusion to any Cambodia holiday.

Explore the tiles below the map for more details on each Cambodia holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CAMBODIA?

Cambodia has two main seasons, dry (November to April) and wet (May to October). From November to April the more remote areas of the country are easier to access and this is the ideal time to visit the coast. However the wet season does have its advantages, bringing with it lush, green countryside and less crowds. This is also an excellent time to visit the Angkor Temples and Tonle Sap Lake as water levels are at their highest.

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Cambodia.

The Koh Rong Archipelago is a marine lovers paradise, with all sorts of sea life visible in the crystal clear waters. Make sure to book a snorkelling trip or go on excursions around nearby islands.

If you fancy a bit of relaxation after the temples at Angkor, why not swap your beach break for something a bit different? The Cardamom Mountains offer an alternative spot to unwind, with some incredible and unique accomodation surrounded by pristine wilderness.

Robbie O'Brien -  expert
Robbie O'Brien

Make sure you have at least three nights at Angkor. There are dozens of temples and each one is different! If you are feeling "templed out" then visit the beautiful Tonle Sap Lake to see the stilted villages and markets.
