If you are preparing for your trip to this gem, it is advisable to remember that during December and January when the humidity and rainfall are relatively low is the best time to go. While this is also the highest tourism season and the crowds will be thick, there is something to enjoy in the clang and incredibly glamour of all the chaos in Cambodia. Time it right to join in the Lunar New Year.
If you want to escape from the crowds, around October when the rain seems to come in short, sharp downpour is a much more suitable choice. At this time of year, Angkor is encompassed by lush foliage while the huge deep moats are full of water. Tours in Cambodia
