Angkor Tours & Travel Packages for 2026/2027

Angkor is a complex of Cambodian relics, history, culture, and religion in the northwest of Tonle Sap, Siem Reap province. It was the former capital of the Khmer Kingdom from the 9th to the 15th century. In Sanskrit, “Angkor” means “city.” According to archaeologists, this is one of the largest cities in the world from the pre-industrial periods, spanning 1,150 square miles.

The Angkor Complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1992. The whole complex is a vast territory including more than 80 monuments built during the period from the 7th to the 8th centuries. They are stone structures of mountain-temple type of Hinduism and Buddhism. The most famous are Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, two of the five largest temples in the Angkor Complex.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Angkor?

Between November and March is the best time to visit Angkor because the weather is dry, the temperatures are mild, and it’s easier to walk around. For tourists who want to visit several temples over several days, this is the best time to go.

Angkor can be visited at any time of the year, but conditions vary:

• April through May: it’s hotter, and fewer people are there. This time of year is good for tourists who don’t mind the heat or shorter sightseeing days.
• June through October: is the “green season.” It’s more humid and rains sometimes, but there are fewer people and the scenery is greener. You can still come if you change your routes and schedules.

No matter what time of year it is, the best times to visit are early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when it is cooler and there are fewer people. Instead of trying to do too much in one day, a well-thought-out plan takes into account things like weather, time, and physical effort.

>>> If you care about travel comfort and efficiency, you should plan your trip to Angkor around daily limits that are more reasonable than assumptions made during peak season. Read more: When is the Best Time to Visit Cambodia?

What Are the Best Destinations in the Angkor Complex?

The Angkor complex is not limited to Angkor Wat alone; it forms the cultural core of a much wider region centered around Siem Reap and its surrounding heritage sites.

A well-structured Angkor tour typically combines major temple complexes with nearby cities and regions to provide historical context and travel balance.

We would like to recommend some key destinations commonly included in Angkor-focused itineraries:

• Angkor Wat: the most important monument of the Angkor complex and the symbolic heart of Khmer civilization, known for its scale, symmetry, and detailed bas-reliefs.
