When to go to visit Angkor Wat and other temples of Angkor

Temperatures always are high in Cambodia. Nevertheless, we can distinct three periods of four months :

  • The best time to go is from November to February : Temperatures are pleasant and rains are few and far between
  • The less pleasant time to go is from March to June : Temperatures rise and short downpours happen about three times a week. Nevertheless, these conditions have some advantages, tourists are less numerous around temples and hotel prices are more affordable
  • From July to October, it is a pleasant time to go : Average temperatures and more frequent downpours are waiting for you. But, sudden showers generally do not last more than one hour in a day and are welcomed when temperatures are high. And brightness is pretty and perfect to take a photo when stones in temples are wet. In fact, the only inconvenience of visiting temples in these conditions is muddy pathways around Temples
