Top 5 Reasons to Visit Cambodia Off Season

Angkor Wat

Alex Wix

Most people tend to avoid Cambodia between April and October for fear of getting a little damp. However Alex Wix, Head of our South+South East Asia team spent the month of September in Cambodia meaning she is even more certain of the many benefits of visiting this incredible destination in the supposed rainy season. Written and sent directly from Cambodia, here are Alex’s top five reasons to visit Cambodia in the rainy season:

1. Private sunrise picnic at Angkor Wat

The increase in rainfall means there are fewer tourists visiting Cambodia. Hence there are fewer crowds at the main temples in Angkor and with our guides’ expertise we can even ensure you have some of the temples entirely to yourself, perhaps with a surprise picnic breakfast in the National Park as well.

2. Off the beaten track photographic opportunities in Cambodia

The lush vegetation guarantees that the country is at its most beautiful, giving way to wonderful photographic opportunities. The temples are covered in moss and the vibrant greens in the morning sunlight are a photographer’s dream come true.

3. Incredible sunsets over Cambodia’s lakes

There will be more cloud cover in the sky, hence you will be treated to some incredible sunsets over the newly filled moats and lakes.

4. Low season in Cambodia is more affordable

The hotels tend to drop their rates in low season, meaning increased luxury without the increased price tag, making such a holiday more affordable. Likewise the excellent relationship that we have with various hotels means it is more likely that we can negotiate room upgrades at this time of year.

5. The best specialist guides in Cambodia

We always secure excellent guides for our clients but of course the best specialist guides tend to get booked up well in advance. During the off-season, there is more chance of securing one of our top guides even if you book last minute.
