The Kingdom of Cambodia
Temples cloaked in the weave of nature, a place where history is echoed through stories, ruins, and architectural monuments, a place where natural beauty is abundant and the waters are pristine. That’s what you will get on one of our Cambodia tours while visiting this iconic country.
Situated in the Indochina peninsula, Cambodia (officially the Kingdom of Cambodia) is bordered by Thailand on the northwest, Laos to the north, and Vietnam to the east. Several trips to Vietnam and Cambodia are curated in a way that allows you to get the best of both worlds.
From the beautiful beaches to enjoying the local Cambodian food, a trip to Cambodia is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you should not miss. Cambodia, however, is more than its natural beauty and pleasant weather. The rich and diverse history of Cambodia is quite astonishing and knowing about it makes the trip better.
The Rich History of Cambodia
Prehistoric tools made of quartz were found on the terraces of the Mekong River in Kampot province. Drawing influence from India, the Khmer Empire was established in 802 A.D. when King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java. Several iconic monuments like Angkor Wat and the Bayon temple were made during his reign.
Sri Lankan emissaries reintroduced Theravada Buddhism to the region while Kublai Khan attacked Angkor (the capital of the Khmer Empire). In the 1800s, Cambodia was under French colonization and after its independence, struggled a brutal war. In 1993, monarchy was resorted and the country is now officially called the “Kingdom of Cambodia”.
Several of the iconic places and beautiful landmarks are included in our Cambodia tour packages while our team of knowledgeable experts make the journey worthwhile.
What’s the Best Time?
Throughout the country, you’d often find lush jungles, verdant green forests, and flowing tranquil rivers. Although the weather stays humid and hot throughout the year, it only adds to the serenity of this iconic country.
The two major seasons of Cambodia are dry and wet. As the name suggests, the dry season which ranges from November to May offers minimal rainfall. Several trips to Cambodia take place during the dry season as the temperatures range from a pleasant 77°F (25°C) to 86°F (30°C) thus making it the tourist season. On the other hand, if you don’t mind a little rain, the wet season of Cambodia which ranges from May to October features the natural beauty of Cambodia. For nature lovers, the wet season will bring you some amazing sights like rain-soaked temples, verdant horizons, and a sense of calm never felt before.
Although the dry season can give you a chance to explore the beaches and take part in outdoor activities, the wet season of Cambodia also has its perks. Threeland Travel is known for its customizable tours and packages because we understand that everyone is unique and your package should be as iconic as you.
