Cambodia Tours from India

How to get to Cambodia from India?

The truth is that flying is the best way to get to Cambodia from India. You can take a direct flight from India to Cambodia's main cities, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. The flight from Kolkata to Siem Reap is the most time-saving option, taking about 8 hours. From Kolkata, the flight to Phnom Penh takes around 8 and a half hours. If you choose the Madras to Siem Reap flight, it takes you about 9 hours. If you want to travel by train, here's your plan. There is no railway network to get to Cambodia from India, but you can first fly to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and then transfer to Cambodia by rail. About 10 and a half hours are required. A road trip from India to Cambodia is also possible. However, it is time-consuming and quite expensive. You need to pass through a lot of countries, so piles of documents are required to enter and depart these countries.

When is the best time to visit Cambodia?

Cambodia has two seasons a year, the dry season from November to April and the rainy season from May to October.

The dry season of Cambodia sees sufficient sunshine, clear sky and little rain, perfect for sightseeing in most cities and sunbath on the southwest coast. These months between November and April are the best time to visit Cambodia. If you prefer relatively cool temperatures, travel in the months from November to February, which is unsurprisingly the peak time to visit Cambodia.

The rainy season receives about 75% of Cambodia’s annual rainfall, but the monsoon rain is infrequent, normally short downpours, and usually falling in the afternoon. The scenery in major cities like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap after the rain turns to be lush and fresh. With moats brimming with water and the added advantage of fewer tourists, the temple complex of Angkor is ideal for a visit. The floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake are also good places to go in the wet season.

How many days to stay in Cambodia?

To fully explore the temple complex of Angkor in Siem Reap and Tonle Sap Lake, you are advised to stay at least 4 days. After a long flight, take a rest at the hotel. Then, you are going to start your exploration of the jungle temples, covering the fabulous wonders of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm Temple, and Bayon Temple. Next, you will tour the largest freshwater lake - Tonle Sap Lake in Southeast Asia to see the floating villages on the lake.

If you are expecting more destinations like Phnom Penh, you need to add one day or two to your travel plan. In the capital city, you will have a city discovery tour to experience the exotic atmosphere by the visit of Wat Phnom Temple, National Museum, Silver Pagoda and Royal Palace where the Khmer royal family lives.

How much is a Cambodia tour for Indians? 

In Cambodia, US dollars are the preferred currency, so it is wise for you to carry a supply of US money when touring Cambodia.

Based on the average daily price of other tourists, most of them spend about $25 on lodging (for a couple) for one day, $12 on meals, and $5 on local transportation. As for the entrance fee of Cambodia scenic spots, prepare around $10 - $12 per day on average. The Angkor Wat is an exception, costing a hefty $37 for just a single day pass, $62 for a 3-day pass, and $72 for a 7-day pass.

Except for the daily expenses, do not forget the cost of the visa for Cambodia, which requires $30 for one month.

Can you have vegetarian food in Cambodia?

Of course, you can have vegetarian food in Cambodia. Actually, when you travel to the country, you will be surprised how vegetarian-friendly Cambodia is, from street food to local restaurants.

For example, by the road, you might see numerous stalls selling Kralan, a bamboo tube stuffed with sticky rice, red beans, grated coconut and coconut milk, and roasted over charcoal. Or try the tasty grilled bananas and sweet potato cakes, which can be seen on mobile street stalls everywhere.

Except for street snacks, you can find vegetarian food in most restaurants of Cambodia, such as the Chamkar, Peace Cafe, Haven in Siem Reap, the Cafe Soleil in Phnom Penh, the Vine Retreat near Kep, and the Rikitikitavi in Kampot.

How’s the hotel condition in Cambodia?

As everyone knows, Cambodia is a budget tourist destination in Southeast Asia. However, to assure you of a more comfortable experience in this country, we hope you can get a higher standard of accommodation.

Four-star hotels in Cambodia offer all the facilities and services expected in international-standard properties. And better yet, the prices are usually not associated with four-star hotels.

You can find four stars hotels in Phnom Penh with leafy courtyards, outdoor pools, spacious suites facing the Mekong River, etc. For example, Aquarius Hotel & Urban Resort with a competitive price is an ideal option for your exploration in the capital city. Or stay overnight in Khmer Mansion Boutique Hotel to witness the collision between ancient heritage and the product of modern civilization in the historical city of Siem Reap. While you enjoy your leisure trip in Sihanoukville, you can stay in Ren Resort for the stunning seascape.
