Siem Reap Tour Package

Choosing Ideal Siem Reap Travel Dates & Length of Stay

Siem Reap shines year-round, but the best times to visit depends on your interests:

• Dry Season (Nov-Feb) – Best weather for temple exploration and outdoor activities
• Wet Season (June-Oct) – rice planting and lush green scenery; less crowds
• Spring (Mar-May) – Temperatures rising, chance of rain but gorgeous flower blooms
• Khmer New Year (Apr) – liveliest cultural celebrations and festivals

If possible, stay at least 5-7 days in Siem Reap to see the top temple complexes at a relaxed pace. With extra time, you could also visit further regional temples like Koh Ker or Beng Mealea, floating villages, and countryside areas.

Choosing From Affordable Luxury, Eco or Cultural Accommodations

Siem Reap offers diverse hotel and lodging choices:

• Downtown Siem Reap – Closest to restaurants, nightlife and shopping areas. Better selections but more tourists.
• Near Angkor Park – Just 5-15 mins from Angkor Wat and other top temples. Feels more secluded.
• Affordable Luxury Hotels – Enjoy 5-star quality at reasonable prices. Great options like Shinta Mani Shack and Navutu Dreams Resort.
• Eco-Friendly/Sustainable Stays – For the eco-conscious, properties like Phum Baitang or Navutu Dreams green hotel integrate environmental principles.
• Homestays – Best cultural immersion staying in villages, interacting with welcoming host families.

Choose base location and lodging type according to your must-have amenities, budget and travel goals.

A major choice for your personalized Siem Reap tour package is selecting between:

Private Tours

• Fully customizable temple and sight itineraries
• One-on-one guide attention
• Highest cost but incredible value

Small Group Tours

Cultural Immersion & Village Tours

Select homestays, cooking classes, educational school visits and artisan workshops for those craving meaningful cultural connections. Also explore floating villages or farms for slices of local life.

Adventure & Nature Tours

From ATV jungle riding to ziplines to biking trips, outdoorsy adventure-seekers have abundant active excursion choices in Siem Reap beyond temple trekking. For chilled out nature immersion, visit remote lake areas.

Relaxation & Rejuvenation Tour Focus
