Why choose Cambodia Tours

Travel Information & Requirements

Cambodia is a captivating destination filled with ancient history, breathtaking temples, and stunning natural landscapes. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of your trip:

Top Destinations

  1. Siem Reap: Famous for the iconic Angkor Wat temple complex, Siem Reap is a paradise for history buffs and architecture lovers. Be sure to explore other magnificent temples like Ta Prohm, known for its giant tree roots, and Bayon with its enigmatic smiling faces.
  2. Phnom Penh: The bustling capital offers a blend of historical and cultural attractions. Visit the Royal Palace, take a somber tour of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife and delicious street food.
  3. Sihanoukville: Renowned for its picturesque beaches and lively atmosphere, Sihanoukville is ideal for unwinding by the sea and indulging in various water activities like snorkeling and diving.
  4. Battambang: Experience traditional Cambodian life in this charming city, featuring French-colonial architecture, serene countryside, and off-the-beaten-path jungle temples.
  5. Tonle Sap Lake: The largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia is known for its unique floating villages. A boat tour offers an intriguing glimpse into the daily lives of local communities.

Best Time to Visit

  • November to February: This is Cambodia's dry season, making it the perfect time for sightseeing and outdoor adventures, with cooler temperatures and clear skies.

Travel Tips

  • Dress Modestly: When visiting temples, wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs.
  • Safety First: Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas. Avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar places.
  • Try Local Cuisine: Don’t miss out on traditional Cambodian dishes like fish amok, a creamy coconut curry, or Khmer curry, which is milder and often served with rice or noodles.
  • Getting Around: Tuk-tuks and motorbikes are popular for short trips. For longer journeys, consider hiring a car with a driver or taking a bus.
  • Visa Requirements: To enter Cambodia, a visa is required, and you can apply online or upon arrival at major entry points. There are two main types:
    • Tourist Visa (T): This single-entry visa costs $36 (including a $6 processing fee), is valid for 3 months from the issue date, and allows a stay of up to 30 days. A passport valid for at least six months, a digital passport-sized photo, and a valid credit card are required. Citizens from several Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore, are exempt.
    • Business Visa (E): This single-entry visa costs $42 (including a $7 processing fee), is valid for 3 months from the date of issue, and also allows a 30-day stay. The requirements are similar: a passport with six months of validity, a digital photo, and a credit card for payment.
  • E-Arrival Card: If you're flying into Cambodia, complete an e-Arrival Card (CeA) online within seven days of your arrival.
  • Registration: All visitors must be registered with the Foreigner Present in Cambodia System (FPCS). Your hotel or host will usually handle this process.
  • Health Precautions: Stay up to date on vaccinations, including those for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and typhoid fever. Avoid swimming in freshwater lakes or rivers due to the risk of schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection.
  • Beat the Crowds: To avoid large crowds at popular sites like Angkor Wat, plan your visit early in the morning. For a quieter experience, take a midday break and explore less crowded spots during peak hours.
  • Sunrise at Angkor Wat: Many visitors recommend starting your first day with a sunrise tour of Angkor Wat. The ticket lines are usually shorter early in the morning, and the sight of the sun rising behind the ancient temple is unforgettable.
