Peak season
Travellers booking cheap flights to Cambodia will undoubtedly be drawn by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. But these magnificent 800-year-old ruins are not the country’s only drawcard. The two main cities of Phnom Penh (the capital) and Siem Reap have much to offer tourists and are the best bases for cycling and biking, cultural expeditions, nature and wildlife, adventure activities and more. Flying to Phnom Penh is not difficult with flights to Cambodia readily available from New Zealand. But travelling during peak season (November to January), which is also the dry season, will be a lot busier and flight tickets may increase in price. Siem Reap throngs with visitors during the tourist season and then quiets down, whereas Phnom Penh is a bustling city, lively all year long.
