Countries Visited

Places visited, suggested duration, customizable itinerary, phnom penh – the warmth of cambodia.

Phnom Penh conjures images of shimmering spires rising out of the Royal Palace and monks draped in saffron robes walking down the wide boulevards. Markets fill with the aromas of captivating spices and cafes emanate the scent of freshly roasted coffee and succulent cuisines. Your flight lands at Phnom Penh International Airport, where your private transfer meets you upon arrival. The city stands at the confluence of the Mekong, Bassac and Tonle Sap Rivers, combining big-city elegance with provincial charm. Trees line the lanes and frame French colonial mansions. Fishing boats move with the river current in search of filling their nets. You settle into the comforts of your luxurious hotel at the heart of the city, offering you the remainder of the day at leisure.

For a perfect introduction to Khmer culture and history, you can visit the National Museum, which was erected between 1917 and 1920 using traditional Khmer architectural elements. The galleries contain a millennium’s worth of masterful design and stunning sculpture wrapped around a verdant tropical courtyard. A herbaceous aroma fills the walkways beneath the rose-tinted rooftops. You first find a large fragment of an immense bronze statue depicting Vishnu. In the southern pavilion, you discover pre-Angkorian collections, offering a timeline of artwork attributed to Indian sculptors as well as the intricate detail of Khmer culture dating between the 5th and 8th centuries.

What's Included:

Siem Reap – Beyond the Temple Gateway

In the morning, an armada of fishing boats takes to the Mekong River with fishermen eager to cast their nets on the rushing water. The markets open with vendors cooking fresh noodle soup with eggs, passing the traditional breakfast dish to keen patrons. Market stalls showcase fresh produce, from passion fruit to mangosteen. Your private transfer meets you in the hotel lobby and escorts you to the airport for your brief flight to Siem Reap. The expressive contemporary city stands at the edge of Angkor, the ancient and enchanting city. Cafes line the streets, and artisan craftsmen work in the Les Chantiers Ecoles, the epicenter of cultural revitalization by teaching locals the art of wood and stone carving, along with traditional silk painting.

Inside the city center, cars and tuk-tuks (rickshaws) roll through the streets. On the outskirts of Siem Reap, farmers continue to use donkeys and carts to carry crops to the market. Your private transfer escorts you to a fabulous hotel close to the bustling city center. In the late afternoon, you board a paddleboat to float down the moat edging Angkor Thom. The gentle breeze brings a refreshing cool to the jungle trees. You can hear monkeys lingering in the canopy. The bridge connecting the historic gate is framed with elegant statues facing outwards. The temple was erected in the 12th century in the Bayon style, manifesting in large, laterite towers adorned with gazing faces.

Siem Reap – Visit Angkor Wat

You wake before dawn when the city fills with the aroma of freshly baked baguettes, a remnant of French Colonialism. Vendors at the market return to begin preparing their stalls for the morning rush. Your guide meets you in the lobby and escorts you into the jungle to face the stunning gates at Ta Prohm Temple. The structure was erected between the mid 12th and 13th centuries. The aroma of cool soil and rich jungle brush fills the air. You can hear the waters of the moat trickling in the distance. The sunlight spreads slowly across the walls cloaked in tree roots. You feel like an adventurous archeologist in search of hidden treasures in forgotten temples.

The jungle has swallowed the temple over time, offering you a glimpse of the entire Angkor complex as European explorers first discovered in the 19th century. Your guide leads you along the thick tree roots dangling from the pitched rooftops, embodying the power of nature and ingenuity of humanity. Towers wrap around closed courtyards, and elegant reliefs decorate narrow corridors. Moss and lichen overtake displaced stones and leaves flutter in the newly returned sunlight to cast an emerald hue above the silver stone walls. The temple was featured in the Tomb Rader film when Angelina Jolie picked a jasmine flower from the Crocodile Tree at the entrance pavilion. In the afternoon, you take the time for an enriching visit to the Angkor National Museum, which exhibits artifacts of the region’s Golden Era during the Khmer Empire.

Siem Reap – Life On Water

In the morning, students and performers venture to Phare, the Cambodian Circus, to practice their techniques and works in the celebrated performance space of the Cambodian Circus. The shows blend personal stories with triumphant feats of physical strength and high-flying acts of imagination. Your guide meets you in the hotel lobby after breakfast and leads you to the shores of Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, encompassing an area of 1,000 square miles. Crocodiles and turtles linger in the marshlands, and mangrove forests grow against the mouth of the river.

Macaques rifle through the trees and call out to one another in the cool morning air. You board a local boat and venture to the village of Kampong Phluck. Houses hover over the surface water on stilts nearly 20 feet tall. In the wet season, the lake rises and submerges the stilts, making it look as though the village floats along the surface. The thatched walls and corrugated pitched roofs grab your attention. Chickens cluck and graze on the grass away from the water. Villagers greet you with warm smiles.

Children wave from the platforms of their houses as fishermen lay large traps in the water. Your guide explains that when the water rises too high or becomes too choppy, the villagers move to the floodplains. Outside the village, you float through the submerged forest, passing your fingers over the tree bark and waxy texture of the leaves. Passing fishermen nod in welcome as they squat near the front of their canoes. The villagers make boats with wood from the coki tree, which grows in abundance near the lake.

Ubud – Travel from Cambodia to Bali

The bustle of the streets of Siem Reap returns in the morning with vendors headed for market and farmers bringing their wares to sell across the city. Passersby make their way to the gates of Angkor and the morning market fills with colorful clothing and vibrant paintings meant to catch a patron’s eye. Your private transfer meets you at the hotel and escorts you to Siem Reap International Airport for your flight to Bali. The city of Ubud claims the title of Bali’s “Cultural Capital,” with streets meandering along the Central Highlands and glowing with iridescent rainforest trees and emerald rice paddies. A cool mountain breeze rustles the surrounding trees and artists fill the marketplace with elegant paintings, spectacular jewelry, and captivating woodcarvings.

Your private transfer meets you at Ngurah Rai International Airport upon your arrival. Your luxurious hotel overlooks the sweeping greenery of the bordering rice fields. Sporadic wildflowers bloom with orange petals. The scent of hyacinth blends with the aroma of coffee drifting out of the chic central cafes. For a unique first impression of Ubud, you venture to a hotel famous for its hillside location and spectacular views. A swing dangles between the two coconut trees on a hilly summit. You can sit on the swing and enjoy a gentle pace with views of the Ayung River. You can hear the tranquil splash of a mini waterfall while looking out to the rice fields and peak of Mount Agung.

Ubud – Palatial Past and Sacred Trails

The aroma of banana pancakes fills the morning air, blending with the rich scent of freshly roasted coffee beans. After breakfast, your guide meets you in the hotel lobby, eager to introduce you to the lush landscape around Ubud. Trails crisscross the rice fields. Locals sell coconuts freshly fallen or taken from the trees. Farmers wear traditional thatched, conical hats. The trails wind beneath coconut canopies and alongside farmland. The rice grows over ankle-height. Sporadic huts rise out of the fields. You continue to Ubud Palace, where the royal family continues to live amongst the decorative statues and stone carvings. Bright flowers adorn the shrines and hints of jasmine drift through the air.

The palace was erected in the 19th century and remains a splendid example of Balinese architecture. The beauty of the décor and design has established a deep seeded connection between the region and artists, bringing in artisan craftsmen from across Bali to take inspiration from the charming tropical garden. Once in the Sacred Monkey Forest, you discover more than 100 long-tailed macaques spread across 27 acres. The rainforest canopy shades the stone walkways. Monkeys linger on historical statues and watch passersby from the treetops. A rocky stream flows at the bottom of the central ravine. Your guide leads you to the first of a collection of ancient temples, reminding you of the moss-covered walls you saw at Ta Prohm Temple.

Ubud – To the Terraces and Beyond

In the morning, you find frangipanis blossoming against the open lobby of your hotel. The sweet aroma fills the air and calls to passing hummingbirds in search of nectar. Your guide meets you at the hotel and leads you to the Tegalalang Rice Terraces to view the remarkable texture of the hillsides. Palm trees soar above the layered tiers of the rice fields overtaking the landscape. The iconic image of the Balinese countryside adheres to the subak , a cooperative irrigation system passed down through the generations, beginning in the 8th century.

Farmers carry poles with woven baskets balancing at both edges. They walk barefoot through the puddled terraces as the rice grows into fields. The microclimates change across the hillside tiers, growing warmer as you reach the valley floor. You continue your exploration of the Balinese countryside on a scenic drive north to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, the Lake Temple. The complex was erected in the 17th century and dedicated to the Hindu trinity of Brahman, Vishnu, and Shiva. The grounds also contain shrines devoted to the lake goddess.

Tiers offer a theme for the day, taking you from the terraced hills to the concentric thatched-roof towers of the temples. The water laps against the stone-studded borders of the small islands and lakeshore setting. Lily pads wade in the soft wake. Four gates encircle the city to embody the four shrines and the four points of the compass. Your guide points to the Vishnu’s shrine, which contains 11 tiers, as opposed to Brahma and Shiva’s shrines, which contain seven and three tiers, respectively.

Nusa Dua – Beyond the Sands

In the morning, the waves break beyond the reef. The sound of the splashing water accompanies the sea breeze. Palm trees and sporadic umbrellas cast shade across the sand. After breakfast, you meet your instructor at Geger Beach for a private surf lesson. Avid surfers have already made their way to the breaks, gliding across the water with dancer-like grace. You first learn the techniques of balance by popping up on the board while situated on the sand. You burst upward to your feet from a lying position. When you feel comfortable, your guide helps you out to the water, taking you over the small waves curling near the shore. He tells you when to paddle your arms to propel yourself forward.

The water is refreshing beneath the tropical sun. You pop up when told, balance your body, and ride the wave back to the powdery shoreline. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy the splendors of Bali and the southern peninsula at your leisure. For a unique view of the landscape, you make your way to the sacred and secret canyon near Sukawati. The canyon rocks are iridescent with gold and turquoise hues reflected in the crystal clear water. The cold and refreshing river courses gently along the rugged boulders at the base of the canyon wall. The magnificent landscape resembles a surreal painting in which you can find hidden faces protruding from the rocks.

Nusa Dua – Amongst the Shores and Cliffs

In the morning, the air around Nusa Dua fills with the tropical aromas of starfruit and pineapple. Seaweed farmers tend to their crops growing off the coast. The sunlight captures flickers of colorful coral glinting from beneath the water. After breakfast, you begin the day with a visit to the majestic Water Blow, a natural phenomenon turning the coastline into a geyser. The wake fills a narrow passage on the rugged shore with water. When the pressure builds, the water erupts over the viewing platform and craggy rocks, before receding. The mist remains for minutes at a time, cooling the surrounding air beneath the rising tropical sun.

In the afternoon, your guide leads you to the cliffs of Uluwatu, overlooking the eponymous beach. The white sands glow against the fading sunlight beneath the breathtaking image of a temple erected along the limestone precipice. The edifice was built in the 11th century nearly 230 feet above the splashing waves. Monkeys linger in the trees and lounge on the walkways. The temple is regarded as one of Bali’s spiritual pillars. The sun fades behind the horizon, and an irrefutable rhythm erupts with a drumbeat. The Kecak Fire Dance begins with performers extending their arms and shaking their hands into the air. Their collective chant is fast and repetitive, combining their movements to tell a story from the Ramayana epic.

Nusa Dua – Continuing Wonders

In the morning, the sunlight stretches over the natural arch at Nusa Penida. The geological phenomenon resembles a hole in the cliff where the water has broken through. The turquoise hues of the sea glow against the golden striations of the rock. The arch was once a full cave that collapsed over time, creating a natural pool protected from the open ocean. On the beaches near your resort, surfers have returned back to the water. You can’t help but recall your morning in the surf, riding the waves at Geger Beach. The thrilling excursion has you inspired to try again soon. Your private transfer meets you at the hotel and escorts you to Ngurah Rai International Airport when you are ready. You could always extend your time in Bali to explore the neighboring islands or bask in the seclusion of the northern shores.

• Enjoy the view of the traditional Kecak Fire Dance performed at sunset on the magnificent cliffs of Uluwatu, Bali

Local culture.

Between the 12th and 20th centuries, Bali has often been treated as a pawn in the games of kings, rajahs and generals. More often than not, its fate has been closely tied to neighboring Lombok with fierce battles between the two islands over the centuries as different rulers vied for regional dominance. This history of varied occupation can be seen in Bali today, with elements of Hinduism and Islam present in modern Balinese society. However, there is no historical animosity between the religions, or even between the islands of Lombok and Bali.

One of the defining moments in Bali’s history took place in the 16th century when the collapse of the Majapahit dynasty encouraged the spread of Islam from the surrounding states into the Javanese kingdom. Rather than live under Islamic rule, many Hindu elites chose to escape to Bali. These elites included many artists, dancers, musicians, actors and court-supported artisans, as well as some more artistically inclined priests. The result was an intense proliferation of cultural arts across Bali, no doubt inspired by rich Balinese folklore featuring epic battles of good and evil, gods and mortals. This reputation persists today, with many travelers falling in love with the island’s intricate temple carvings, dance performances, colorful sarongs and handicrafts.

When you combine a love of arts with world-class beaches and deliciously fiery sambals, it’s no surprise Bali’s tourism industry is soaring. It’s not unusual for someone to ask you whether this is your second, third or fourth visit to the island. Many locals rely on tourism to some extent, either by working as tour operators or running hotels, yoga studios, massage parlors, bars, cafes or restaurants.

The destination’s popularity with  Australians  means there’s a gradual cultural creep in larger cities like Seminyak, where Melbourne-style cafes and international clothing labels are particularly popular. If you escape the resorts and head further north from Denpasar, you’re more likely to encounter traditional warungs (eateries) and villages untouched by tourism sprawl.

One last word of advice: always watch where you put your feet. Locals will traditionally place small offerings on the footpaths outside their homes or businesses up to three times a day. 83.5% of the population identifies as Hindu and religion plays a large part in Balinese life. In fact, there is a small religious ceremony associated with just about every aspect of Balinese culture, whether it’s the beginning of a soccer game, celebrating the full moon or cleaning the house.

Food and drink

At first glance it might seem difficult to pinpoint Bali’s exact culinary identity. The mishmash of Indonesian and pan-Asian influences means you’re likely to come across menus that sometimes feel part Thai, Malaysian, Indian and Vietnamese. But no matter what you order, the food will always be fresh and bursting with flavor. Dishes are typically made fresh each day, with curries and pastes prepared by hand using traditional methods.

The most authentic food in Bali is usually found streetside at eateries called warungs. Warungs are common in every village and city, and a good place for a quick feed on a budget. Many will specialize in a small menu of popular local dishes.

Top foods to try in Bali

Babi guling:  This is slow cooking Balinese-style. A whole pig is stuffed with chilli, turmeric, ginger, galangal, shallots, garlic, coriander seeds and aromatic leaves and rotated over an open fire. This dish is commonly seen at celebrations.

Satay:  Sometimes spelt ‘sate’ on local menus, Indonesia is famous for its tasty meat skewers (usually chicken) cooked over hot coals and slathered in moreish peanut sauce.

Nasi campur:  Nasi campur feels like a bit of a buffet. Your plate typically comes with a scoop of nasi putih accompanied by small portions of a number of other dishes, including meats, vegetables, peanuts, eggs, and fried-shrimp krupuk.

Nasi goreng:  The old favorite among tertiary students is nothing like the local version. Nasi goreng, literally meaning "fried rice”, is a popular rice dish with pieces of meat and vegetables, and a fried egg added on top.

Sambal:  A fiery paste made using a chili base smashed with secondary ingredients like shrimp paste, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, palm sugar, lime juice, and rice vinegar.

Eating vegetarian in Bali

Going vegetarian is relatively easy in Bali as many dishes are already meat-free. Tofu and tempeh are also a standard part of the local diet. Key vegetarian dishes to look out for include nasi saur (rice flavored with toasted coconut and accompanied by tofu, tempeh, vegetables and sometimes egg), urap (steamed vegetables mixed with grated coconut and spices), gado gado (tofu and tempeh mixed with steamed vegetables, boiled egg and peanut sauce) and sayur hijau (leafy green vegetables, usually kangkung – water spinach – flavored with a tomato-chilli sauce).

The abundance of fresh fruits in Bali means you can buy fresh coconuts and juices (or fruity cocktails) almost anywhere you go. If you're looking for something with a bit more punch then you could order a Bintang, the national larger or maybe arak – a local liquor made from fermented rice and coconut palm flowers.

Festivals and events

Many festivals in the Balinese calendar revolve around religious and spiritual occasions marked by periods of prayer or silence, and followed by lots of festivities and feasting. Some festivals might be inconvenient for travelers, such as the Day of Silence, but they’re also a great opportunity to gain an insight into local life that many don’t get to see.

Multiple surf contests are held throughout the year at different times and in different places. Check with local surfing schools for up to date information.

Top festivals in Bali

Nyepi (Day of Silence):  Bali’s major Hindu festival, Nyepi, or the Day of Silence, celebrates the beginning of a new year and is marked by inactivity. Legends say that this is a strategy to convince evil spirits that Bali is uninhabited and therefore not worthy of visiting! Jokes on them. The day involves prayer, meditation and quiet reflection.

Bali Arts Festival:  For an island with a strong history of cultural arts, it’s no surprise the Bali Arts Festival has pride of place in the annual calendar. Based at the Taman Wedhi Budaya arts center in Denpasar, travelers can see village-based dance groups competing for local pride across several traditional dance categories. The date changes each year but is typically held between mid-June to mid-July.

Bali Kite Festival:  From July to October, the skies of southern Bali fill with huge, colorful monsters, critters and imaginative creations. Scores of kites are launched by the locals as part of this special spiritual event. It is believed the kites urge the gods to provide abundant harvests.

Indonesian Independence Day:  Held on 17 August each year, this day celebrates Indonesia's independence from the Dutch in 1945. Expect to see legions of marching school children, flags, kites and fireworks. Don’t expect to get anywhere quickly either on the day or the days leading up to it.

Galungan and Kuningan:  Galungan celebrates the death of a legendary tyrant called Mayadenawa. The celebrations come to a head with the Kuningan festival, which is when the Balinese say thanks and goodbye to the gods. The exact dates of these two festivals vary as they are planned using the 210-day wuku (or Pawukon) calendar.

Geography and environment

Bali is undoubtedly Indonesia’s most popular province thanks to its abundance of beautiful beaches, leafy jungles and impressive mountains. Located just east of Java and west of Lombok, the Bali province includes not only the island of Bali but also a few of the smaller neighboring islands, such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan.

Bali's highest mountain is Mt Agung (3,031 m, 9,944 ft), which is also known as the "Mother Mountain”. One of the other popular volcanoes on the island is Mt Batur. Both of these volcanoes have contributed to Bali’s incredibly fertile soil, which has allowed the rice crop trade to flourish.

Bali is located just 8 degrees south of the equator, which means it enjoys a fairly even climate year-round. The average year-round temperature hovers around 86°F, with a humidity level of about 85%. It's also surrounded by coral reefs and is part of the Coral Triangle, an area with the highest biodiversity of marine species. Over 500 reef-building coral species can be found here, which is seven times the entire Caribbean.

Bali’s problems with environmental pollution are well-documented, and it’s fair to say that the nearly 5.7 million tourists who visit annually are contributing their fair share. In late 2017, Indonesian officials declared a “garbage emergency” after a tide of plastic washed up a 5.8 kilometer (3.6 mile) stretch of coastline. We encourage all travelers to carry a reusable plastic bottle with them, a reusable tote bag for carrying items and to try and minimize their use of plastics wherever possible.

While you’ll find many of the main tourism hubs, like Seminyak and Kuta, filled with international fashion labels, there are also many local boutiques offering a wide variety of hand-made goods. These include traditional wood carvings (and even some famously phallic bottle openers), silver jewelry, colorful sarongs, eco-friendly bags, bamboo satchels, recycled furniture and a near limitless range of body oils and fragrances. Of course, if you’re looking for a traditional ‘I Heart Bali’ t-shirt or Bintang singlet, these are never in short supply either.

Like many parts of South East Asia, bargaining is a big part of the local shopping experience. Getting a good price comes down to how well you can haggle, but it’s important to have fun, bargain in good faith, and remember to smile. You’ll usually find better prices, and more negotiable shop owners, away from the main tourist strips.

Bali travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Bali?

Sitting a snug 8 degrees from the equator, Bali’s climate is classic tropics. There’s a dry season and a rainy season, and not a whole lot in between.

The best time for a Bali tour (weather-wise) is the July to August peak season, or from December to the first week of January.

Although if you’d like to avoid the crowds (and why wouldn’t you) shoulder months like April, May, June and September make an excellent alternative.

The weather is dry and slightly less humid, and the island in general is a lot more relaxed.

October isn’t too bad either, especially if you’re into water sports like scuba diving, surfing or snorkeling (the rainfall is much lighter than in November).

Do you need a visa for a Bali tour?

The short answer is maybe – depending on your nationality. Passport holders from over 60 countries (including the   UK ,   Australia   and the   United States ) can enter Indonesia with a free tourist visa on arrival which allows you to stay for 30 days for tourism purposes. An immigration officer will date stamp your passport when you arrive and you will not be able to extend your stay. If you overstay there are hefty fines of IDR 1,000,000 (approximately 70 USD) per day.

If there's a chance you might want to stay longer than 30 days, you'll need to pay for a visa on arrival or apply for one prior to traveling at an overseas Indonesian consulate or embassy.

To enter Bali, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

• proof of onward or return ticket
• proof of funds to pay for your expenses during your trip
• completed immigration card (this will usually be given to you on the plane or at the arrival terminal)

Local laws require that you must be able to show your valid passport at any time when required to do so by an immigration office. We recommend taking a clear photocopy of your passport photo page, and visa (after arriving), to carry with you.

This page is for general information only and may be subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. 

Last updated: 27 June 2023 

Should I tip on a Bali tour?

Tipping isn’t compulsory in Bali, or anywhere else in Indonesia. But, like most countries, it’s very much appreciated.

Remember that many Balinese rely on tourism as a main source of income, and a tip is always appreciated.

What is the internet access like in Bali?

In tourist centers like Kuta, Seminyak, Denpasar, and Lovina internet access should be fine, and there will be plenty of internet cafes (or cafes with free internet) to choose from if your Wi-Fi isn’t up to scratch.

In more rural areas, there could be little or no coverage, particularly during homestays. Just remember to plan ahead. 

What are the toilets like in Bali?

Restaurants and hotels in developed tourist centers will have Western-style flush toilets.

In more rural areas the traditional squat toilet will be more common.

We recommend packing a bottle of hand sanitizer if you plan to visit rural parts of Bali.

What will it cost for a...?

Indonesia is one of the world's favorite budget travel destinations. Here's what you can roughly expect to pay for a:

• Street food snack = 0.15c USD
• Fresh juice = 0.40c USD
• Bottle of beer in a bar = 1.50 USD
• Souvenir sarong = 1.80 USD
• Dinner in a restaurant = 3 USD

Can I drink the water on a Bali tour?

Drinking water from taps isn’t recommended in Indonesia, but for environmental reasons try to avoid buying bottled water every day. There are a number of filtered canteens you can purchase or bring a supply of water filtration tablets that you can drop into your bottle wherever you go.

If you’re traveling on an Intrepid Travel trip, we always carry with us a large drum of water in our truck to refill your bottles on the road. Our hotel operators will also provide water free of charge to refill your bottles.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Bali?

Major credit cards are widely accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in Bali.

T hey may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas.

Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Bali.

What is ATM access like in Indonesia?

ATMs are found widely throughout Bali, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be problematic in most areas. Some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so be prepared for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

What public holidays are celebrated in Bali?

Public holidays may vary from year to year. Find out more information on current public holidays in Bali.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Is Bali safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Homosexuality is legal in most of Indonesia, however, revisions to Indonesia’s criminal code are currently being considered that would criminalize gay sex and same-sex relationships. Advocacy groups fear this would represent a profound setback to human rights in Indonesia as a result. The LGBTQIA+ community has also been known to be targeted and harassed by police.

Bali, with its Hindu majority, has always been more liberal, tolerant and relaxed in attitude, however, public displays of affection are still not the norm for any couples anywhere in the country. Upscale hotels will likely not have any issues with same-sex travelers sharing a bed, however, if you are staying in budget or family-run businesses and are allocated separate beds, you might feel more comfortable not drawing attention to your relationship. 

Because sex, in general, is a taboo subject in Indonesian society, the issue of sexuality is unlikely to arise while traveling here. Indonesia is generally safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers, provided you are willing to be discreet and cautious with public behavior.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

So far it’s a toss up between Bali and Cambodia.

Probably a ‘jungle stay’ for about 5 nights with sightseeing ie temples, waterfalls, animal park etc. followed by a beach stay to chill.

For the beach time we want good/great snorkelling straight from the beach (we snorkel a lot, we have our own gear) and some bars, restaurants, shops etc nearby ie walking distance (ie somewhere not too remote/in the middle of nowhere).

Ideally we’d like accommodation with 2 bedrooms ie a Villa/apartment/bungalow with a pool (private or shared), direct access to beach, possibly private or beach club etc.

If Bali I think I’ve narrowed it down to Ubud x 5 nights, Amed x 6 nights, Gili Meno x 3 nights

If Cambodia I’m not so sure about the first part so please advise but I have read about Koh Rong Sanloem for chilling and great snorkelling (again any advice please)

Good vegetarian food is important (for me)

We have previously been to Thailand which we love!! But wish to try somewhere new.

Opinions and advice very welcome! Thanks

Cambodia has been one of the most famous tourist destinations in South East Asia and globally. Thailand borders this beautiful country to the northwest, the Gulf of Thailand  to the southwest, Vietnam  to the east, and Laos to the north. Cambodia is the perfect place to start the travel journey in South East Asia. Cambodia has a population of 17 million, of which about 26% is involved in the tourism sector, indicating a huge volume of tourists Cambodia receives each year. The major reason behind that is the astounding beauty of the country. With plenty of beaches and finger licking food, Cambodia offers a blend of nature and a rich culture. As the home of the Khmer Empire, Cambodia allows tourists to experience different cultures and traditions. Moreover, we will also get to learn about the wide history of the region. Not only this, but there are plenty of beaches in the country. Tourists have the option to enjoy the peace of serene islands as well as enjoy the great nightlife and parties. For instance, in the South of Cambodia, Koh Rong island has incredible nightlife. On the other side of the country, Koh Rong Samloem is a great place for a peaceful stay and witness sustainable tourism. Thus, for those looking to experience authentic islands, Cambodia is the place to go. With the option of a community homestay, tourists can experience a closer look into the lives of locals. With a plethora of trekking options, we will definitely learn a lot about the uncommon plants and animals. The wildlife tours in the region are full of adventure. These include a wide variety of animals, including bears, elephants, and tigers. Cambodia is also a heaven for foodies as it offers numerous luscious dishes. Crab, beef (lok lak) and fish (amok) are some of the most common foods in the region. These are consumed daily, usually with rice and noodles. Moreover, there are a number of food tours and cooking classes across the country. Another major reason that makes Cambodia the ideal travel destination is that we would not need to burn a hole in our pocket to travel around the country. As dollars are widely used across the region, there is no need to worry about the forex exchange. Cambodians are famous for their hospitality and will ensure that we have a great time in the country.

Most Popular Cambodia Tour Packages 2024

Quick facts about cambodia.

Currency :  Cambodia’s official currency is Riel, which is denoted with ‘៛’.  Weather :  Being slightly above the equator makes Cambodia a tropical nation with year-round temperatures between 21 and 35 °C (69.8 and 95 °F). The temperature here is hot and humid. There isn't a severe winter here.

Places to Visit : We can always find the perfect place in this incredible country as it offers something for everyone. Be it peaceful beaches like Koh Rong Samloem or places with great nightlife for party animals like Koh Rong. Official Language :  Khmer is the national language of Cambodia and is widely spoken around the region. Nevertheless, the majority of people speak English in the country as well. Covid Guidelines : Before entering a country, it is always advisable to check its Covid guidelines. Cambodia is open to travel for travellers. People from all nationalities can enter the country. Hence, there are no specific rules for any specific country. Fully vaccinated tourists should not face any difficulties. All vaccinations are approved, and there are no criteria for booster doses.

Fully vaccinated tourists only need a certificate to enter the country. While unvaccinated travelers have to undergo a Covid rapid antigen test when arriving in Cambodia.

Time to Visit Cambodia

It is always a good idea to learn more about the climate and weather of a destination beforehand to make the most out of the trip.  Cambodia has two major seasons across the year. These are the Monsoon season and the Dry season .  It is in the dry season when most tourists come to visit this country, and there is a fairly reasonable reason behind the same. During the dry season, the country sees less amount of rainfall. It typically lasts from November to April. This allows the tourists to enjoy the clear sky on the southern coasts. From February to April , the temperatures in Cambodia continue to rise as much as 40 degrees Celsius. Even in May and June, the temperature continues to be high. The humidity is also extreme during these times. This eventually results in rainfall. As soon as the monsoon season begins, Cambodia receives high rainfall. This is a result of high humidity. While it is extremely helpful for local farmers in order to grow costs, the rain often causes problems in remote areas. Due to this, it can be tough to travel in such regions. However, not all areas are impacted by it. Thus, we can also enjoy the greenery and scenic beauty. Flora and fauna during this season are at their peak. Hence, this can be a good time for those who cannot wait for long hours of wildlife exploration.

Even though Cambodia has no official winter season, the months between December and February are quite cooler. This is why many tourists also prefer this time frame. Most of the time, January is the coldest month but even then, the temperatures are around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. This is perhaps the best time to visit Cambodia  and explore places like Phnom Penh, Temples of Angkor, Battambang, and Siem Reap. As there is comparatively less humidity, it becomes easier to visit a variety of temples and markets. However, this is why Cambodia witnesses more tourists during this time. Thus, we will have a better time if we are prepared for crowds.

Many experts consider October a good time to visit Cambodia . This is because, at this particular time, the rainy season has come to an end. Moreover, the humidity is also quite low. Multiple temples across the country are also quiet in comparison to other months. Also, the tourists can find incredible discounts and offers to push down their expenses further. Lastly, this is a great time to visit the famous Tonle Sap Lake. We should keep all these points into consideration and choose to visit Cambodia during a time that we believe will be suitable for us. 

How to reach Combodia 

There are many ways to reach Cambodia  from which we can choose to travel. Some of the most popular ways to reach Cambodia include: By Air :  The most convenient way to travel from India to Cambodia is by air. Compared to any other form of transportation, air travel takes the least time. This is why the entire journey becomes extremely comfortable. We can take a flight from the majority of metropolitan areas in India like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai. While in Cambodia, the major airports include Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap International Airport.  Usually, there is a single stop on the journey from India to Cambodia. The typical flight duration is around 6 hours. We can choose from a variety of airlines including Singapore Airlines, Air Asia Philippines, Malaysian Airlines, and Thai Airways. It is always better to book the tickets in advance, especially in October and November, to save a considerable amount on flights. By Train :  There are no direct trains from India to Cambodia. Thus, to travel by train, we will have to book a flight to Bangkok and then take a train and reach Cambodia. This is an ideal option for those looking to explore various regions in SouthEast Asia. Hence, taking a train can be time-saving when travelling between different Southeast Asian countries. This will also allow us to gain many new experiences and learn about the culture and traditions of different Southeast Asian nations.

By Road : The journey from India to Cambodia by road can be quite adventurous. However, we must keep in mind that this will not be simple and easy. We will have to travel through numerous countries to reach the final destination, which can be quite expensive and more time-consuming. We will also need a number of documents when entering and leaving each country, such as passport, international driving permit, credit card and possible itinerary. Nevertheless, when it comes to travelling within Cambodia, it is best to rely on buses. This is because buses are very affordable and easily available in the country. When travelling in some of the remote areas, we can find plenty of tuk-tuks and many other modes of transportation. So, if we want to reach Cambodia in a short span with great ease, then the airlines are the best option. On the other hand, if we want to explore South East Asian regions as well, then we can choose to take an affordable flight to Bangkok and cover the rest of the journey by train.  

Throughout the pandemic, millions of people moved from one place to the other. Maybe, after more than two years of the pandemic, we are also wondering if it would be safe to travel abroad.

Main Destinations of Cambodia

Cambodia's rich history and culture attracts millions of tourists from different parts of the world. Yet it is not the only thing that drives people to this Southeast Asian country. Its beautiful beaches and natural beauty are other major factors. Some of the most popular tourist destinations in Cambodia  are:

Angkor Wat (Angkor Archaeological Park)

Koh kong conservation corridor, sambor prei kuk.

Angkor Archaeological Park is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The temples of the Angkorian era are incredible in size. Angkor Wat is among the world’s must-see ancient sites. Built between 802 and 1432, Angkor Archaeological Park was the largest city in the world during the mediaeval age. Today, it is the largest religious building in the world. Built by King Suryavarman II, this ancient temple can be visited between 5 am to 6 pm.

Located in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, the Koh Kong Conservation Corridor is the ideal place for boat tours and hiking. Encompassed with dense jungles, astounding waterfalls, and a beautiful river, Koh Kong Conservation Corridor has some eco-friendly places to stay. It also has options for homestay and guesthouse accommodation.

Phnom Penh is not only the capital of Cambodia but also its most populated city. Today, Phnom Penh has become one of the most dynamic regions of the world but it was deserted during the Khmer Rouge madness. The city has numerous historical sites that showcase the history of the country. Along with incredible architecture, it has many cafés and restaurants as well. Phnom Penh has numerous tourist attractions including the Royal Palace of Cambodia, National Museum of Cambodia, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and Wat Phnom. The city also has a variety of transportation options including trains, buses, and flights.

To spend some peaceful time in the country then Kampot is one of the regions that will provide us with much-needed relaxation time. The town is quite laid-back and has shop-house-designed infrastructure. Many tourists spend a long time in this region because of its beautiful surroundings and peaceful life. Nevertheless, Kampot also has many destinations that are worth visiting. These include Phnom Bokor National Park, Long Set Beach, and Phnom Chhnork Cave Temple.

Sambor Prei Kuk is a temple site that was established in the early seventh century. From an archaeological point of view, this pre-Angkorian temple is quite significant as it is Cambodia’s one of the oldest buildings. Some of the vital sites inside Sambor Prei Kuk include Prasat Yeay Pea, Prasat Tao, and Prasat Sambor.

Along with numerous temples, Cambodia offers its tourists a variety of adventure sports as well. Ratanakiri is one such natural region where tourists can try out a variety of sports. We can visit several villages by surpassing the long red-dirt roads that spread over Ratanakiri. This region is heaven for those who are interested in trekking. It has Veun Sai-Siem Pang Conservation Area as well as the Virachey National Park, which is home to many animals, including bears, tigers and elephants. 

Best Hill Stations/ Best Beaches

Cambodia has numerous beaches and islands across the country. The scenic beauty of these beaches allows the tourists to have a peaceful and relaxing time. Some of the most popular beaches in Cambodia include-

Saracen Bay, Koh Rong Samloem

M'pai bai, koh rong samloem, otres beach.

Ream Beach is about half an hour away from Sihanoukville city. It is a part of the Ream National Park. This is another secluded beach where we can see a few fishermen and cafes that are run by families. There is also a mangrove wetland area near the beach. Ream Beach is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of popular beaches and spend some days surrounded by nature. 

Koh Rong Samloem is one of the sister islands on Sihanoukville, along with Koh Rong. Saracen Bay once used to be a sleepy fish area but now it has become one of the best tourist islands. This region is very popular among couples and younger visitors. The island has a laid-back vibe that will allow us to forget all our worries and enjoy nature.

Located on the northern side of Koh Rong Samloem, M'Pai Bai is not as crowded as Saracen Bay. Thus, it is the perfect place for those who want to escape the crowds and spend quality time in a peaceful environment. M'Pai Bai is deserted for the most part and we can find some local fishermen nearby. This area has some hostels and guest houses. We can go on a hike to explore two nearby waterfalls as well.

Even though Otres Beach is a part of the Sihanoukville area, it is not as crowded as other regions. This is because it is far from the major beach areas. Hence, we can experience the local vibe of the area. The water around Otres Beach is clearer than many other beaches. Moreover, it is surrounded by palm trees which give the place a spectacular look. Even though Cambodia is famous for its beaches, it also has a hill station. Bokor hill station is a bunch of French buildings built in the 1920s as a temperate mountain spot for colonial residents. Even though Bokor hill station was abandoned for a long time, it is now easily accessible because of recent developments. The region also has a waterfall that is usually dry in the high season but regains full flow during monsoon. Bokor Hill Station is highly popular among tourists because of its astounding views and great weather.

Places to Visit in Combodia

Cambodia has numerous temples as well as the largest religious building in the world. But there is a lot more to this country than the beaches and monuments. Choosing the right Cambodia Tour Packages will ensure that we get to explore all the must-visit places in the region and gain experiences that will be relished for a lifetime. 

Prasat Preah Vihear

Tonlé sap lake.

The small town of Sen Monorom is the major tourist attraction in the Mondulkiri region. This place is ideal for those who are more inclined toward making their trip to Cambodia full of adventure. In the Mondulkiri province, there are many options for tourists to enjoy themselves, including trail-bike tours, exploring wildlife, and the popular Elephant Valley Project. Under the Elephant Valley Project, travellers can walk with the elephants of the sanctuary. It is important to keep in mind that riding the elephant is not allowed. 

Tourists usually consider Siem Reap a significant part of Cambodia’s must-visit places because Angkor Archaeological Park is situated in it. However, the town has a lot more to offer. This is one of the major centres of the region. Thus, we can find a variety of tours ranging from cycling tours to cookery tours as well. We can also find numerous traditional crafts around the area. In the evening, Phare the Cambodian Circus is also organised.

While Angkor Wat may be extremely popular among tourists, we cannot miss the Prasat Preah Vihear location. Prasat Preah Vihear is an incredible temple constructed to honour Lord Shiva. It is at the top of the Dangrek Mountains and offers a break-taking view of Cambodian floodplains. It is quite close to the border of Thailand. Both nations have claimed the temple as their own. This UNESCO World Heritage Sight is a must-visit for tourists in Cambodia.

Battambang is a city in Cambodia that is perfect for those who want to spend some time away from the hustle-bustle of Phnom Penh. As compared to the capital, Battambang has a much more relaxed vibe. The northwest of Battambang is surrounded by small villages and rice fields. The city is also rich in its history as historical temples like Wat Ek Phnom, Phnom Sampeau, and Phnom Banan are quite nearby to the region. Due to all this, Battambang has become a significantly famous spot among travellers.

Tonlé Sap Lake is Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake. It is considered the most significant waterway for Cambodia. This lake is also home to 170 floating villages whose livelihood depends on it. Tonlé Sap Lake is also a vital source of food for irrigation in Cambodia. Be it shops, schools, or houses; everything is made by sticking together bamboo and barrels. Kompong Luong and Chong Kneas are some of the popular villages around it.

Kratie is the ideal place to experience the beauty of Mekong. Kratie has become popular over the years because of the dolphin-watching tours. Irrawaddy dolphins have been endangered in the Mekong. Many steps have been taken to ensure that they are protected. Tourism has played a major role as an alternative to fishing in the region. 

Famous food in Combodia

Even though Cambodian cuisine has started to become popular in other parts of the world, the best way to experience the majority of Cambodian dishes is to visit the country. Thus, while planning the Cambodia trip, make sure to try out all the Cambodian cuisines. Some of the most popular dishes in the country include:

Samlor korkor

Nom banh chok/khmer noodles, kha trei svay kchai - caramelised fish with green mango.

Amok is undoubtedly one of the most popular dishes in Cambodia. Similar dishes to it can also be found in neighbouringf countries. The addition of Slok Ngor separates the taste of the Cambodian version from the rest of the world. The curry of the dish is made from kroeung and coconut milk. Initially, Amok was prepared only with snails or fish. However, over the years, chicken is also added to the dish. There are even some vegetarian versions of the dish as well.  

Even though Amok is often considered the national dish of Cambodia, Samlor korkor is also extremely popular in the region as well. Samlor korkor has been a popular dish in Cambodia for hundreds of years. The great part is that it can be found even today across the country in different restaurants as well as local stalls. The soup is quite adaptable and can be varied as per the season. Even though any sort of meat can be added, pork belly and catfish are commonly used. 

Nom banh chok is another Cambodian dish that is extremely popular in other parts of the world. At times, it is called Khmer Noodles in English. Nom banh chok is majorly consumed as breakfast. Thus, tourists usually find women who carry baskets that contain this dish. It is prepared with noodles and many other ingredients including fingerroot ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Quite often banana flowers, cucumbers, beans, edible leaves and flowers are out on top of the dish. 

Almost everyone has seen fishes that are quite active even when they are not underwater. These fishes are frequently seen jumping from baskets, trying to escape. Well, it is none other than the striped snakehead fish, also known as Trei roh. It can walk on land. That’s why it can move even when put out of water. It is the key ingredient of this dish. Initially, the steaks are kept in a pot and then caramelised with black pepper, fish sauce, garlic, tomatoes, and palm sugar. The dish is served with Asian basil and green mango on top.

Things to do in Cambodia

From visiting numerous temples to chilling on beaches, Cambodia offers its tourists plenty of fun activities. Here is a list of things to do on a Cambodia trip :

Watching Apsara Dance Show

Explore different cambodian cuisines, witness the phare cambodian circus, visit the tuol sleng genocide museum, visit phnom penh palace.

One of the best ways to explore Cambodian culture is to watch the dance show of Apsaras in the Siem Reap region. Apsaras have always been a huge part of Hindu mythology. They used to dance in Lord Indra’s kingdom in heaven. This depicts that the Hindu culture is still deeply rooted in the Cambodian culture. Thus, watching this show will bring us even closer to the culture of Cambodia. The dance show of Apsaras is so deep-rooted in Cambodian culture that it is even drawn on the walls of Angkor Wat. 

No trip is ever complete without exploring the different delicacies that the country has to offer. Thus, on our Cambodia trip, try a variety of dishes. Since the majority of these dishes are not easily available outside Cambodia, it makes much more sense to enjoy them as long as we are there. Most of the dishes in the region are non-vegetarian. Moreover, rice and noodles are commonly used in most cuisines.

Art is a major part of Cambodian culture. Hence, to truly understand the essence of Cambodian culture, we must watch the Phare Cambodian Circus. The circus showcases the rich history of the country. Moreover, the circus has earned a name for itself globally.  Throughout the circus, we will witness performances including theatre, dancing, and singing. These acts showcase the numerous stories of the country. Phare Cambodian Circus is so famous that it has become a national act. Furthermore, numerous training centres have also opened in various parts of the country to train those interested in performing in the circus. The time of Phare Cambodian Circus is from 8 am to 8 pm. 

When people think that Cambodia has a rich history, their mind will likely go in the direction that everything about its past has been glorious and peaceful. However, it is not the case. Moreover, it is equally important to showcase as well as analyse the other side as well. This is where the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum plays a significant role. It is a remnant of the atrocities conducted in the Khmer regime. The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum has been made in the memory of genocide initiated by Khmer rulers. It showcases the terrifying interiors and utilises the painful past to lead to a peaceful tomorrow. A trip to this museum is something that each tourist must do whenever they visit Cambodia. The museum is located in Phnom Penh and the timings are between 8 am and 5 pm. 

The Royal Palace of Cambodia is something that tourists should aim to visit when choosing the Cambodia tour package. It is home to the royal family. The gigantic palace has many paintings that showcase the history of the country. Moreover, the architecture is also astounding. The timings are from 8 am to 5 pm. 

Adventurous things to do

Adventurous activities are an assured way to make the Cambodia trip a memorable experience. Cambodia offers a variety of adventure activities, including mountaineering, rock climbing, sailing, fishing, hiking, and much more. 

Explore different parts of the country on a moped

Before everything else, it is vital to ensure that the vehicle given to us fulfils all the safety standards. While riding around different parts of the country can be very exciting, we must follow the safety guidelines, including wearing a helmet and not driving above the given limit. Now, it is time to explore unknown territories and feel freedom. Tourists can easily rent a moto and visit different places in the country.

Take care of a bear

Sun bears and moon bears are some of the most loved animals in Cambodia. Tourists can opt for being a bear keeper for a day. We can work with the volunteers at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre. Wildlife tours can be incredible, but it will never be as exciting as taking care of a bear. 

Check out Kirirom’s Pine Forests

Cambodia has numerous hiking trails, but nothing beats the experience of travelling in pine forests. Kirirom’s Pine Forests will leave us with a memorable experience as they are surrounded by breathtaking waterfalls and foot trails. Thus, it is the perfect place for those who are looking to explore wildlife and do trekking.

Go around Siem Reap on a bicycle

Exploring different areas around Siem Reap on a bicycle can be quite exciting. There is no need to carry our own bicycle as plenty of businesses offer numerous biking tours. Going from one part of the city to the other by cycling will allow the tourists to witness the true beauty of Siem Reap. Witnessing the marvellous sunrise is something that we will remember for a lifetime.

Hike in Kep National Park

Kep National Park has been a major attraction for hikers as well as trekkers for a long time. This park is the perfect place irrespective of whether we are well-versed in hiking or not. As the trails are marked with arrows, even beginners can go a long way without facing any difficulties. So, visit the Kep National Park and explore the new and exciting territory in a guided manner. As we continue our journey, we will get to see great wildlife.

Interesting Facts about Cambodia

There is much more to Cambodia than amazing beaches and historical monuments. Here are some unpopular facts about Cambodia-  Cambodia is the only country with a building on its flag Cambodia is unique from other parts of the world in a variety of ways. The majority of flags around the globe usually either have similar colours & different designs or the same designs & different colours. None of more than 200 countries have a monument on their flag. Yet, Cambodia added Angkor Wat to its flag, making it the only flag with a building. Angkor Wat is the largest religious building in the world. This makes the Cambodian flag quite distinctive.  

Funerals are a costly affair in the country

It can be surprising to find out that funerals in Cambodia have an average cost of USD 9000. Moreover, they go on for 49 days. Many people usually put together the money they have accumulated over time to ensure the funeral cost is covered. Some even have to sell their possessions to do so. All this is done because funerals hold immense importance in Cambodian culture. 

The average age in Cambodia is less than 15

Today, many countries have a high median age. However, Cambodia is running in the opposite direction. We might be astounded to know that approximately 50% of the population of Cambodia is less than 15 years old. Furthermore, 60% of the population of this Southeast Asian nation is less than 30 years old. This is one of the reasons why Cambodia is full of young faces with a positive outlook on life. However, the reason behind such a young average age is not positive whatsoever. It is the result of genocide conducted during the rule of the Khmer Rouge. In a span of just 4 years, the population of Cambodia was reduced by 2-3 million. 

Birthdays are not a big deal in Cambodia

Birthday is one of the most important days of people's life. Hence, they not only eagerly wait for it for weeks but also emphasise celebrating it in the best way possible. However, this is not the case with the majority of the population in Cambodia. Here, birthdays are not considered a major event. Some individuals do not even remember their birthdays; they are only aware of the season of their birthday.

Cambodian Culture

Cambodia has an extremely rich culture. It has been preserved by the people who have been following a variety of traditions for a long time. Gaining a deeper understanding of these cultures and traditions can make the trip to Cambodia even more worthwhile. Apart from choosing the right Cambodia tour packages, it is always better to learn more about the country so that we can enjoy our stay to the fullest. Here are some things we should know about the various culture and traditions in Cambodia:  The majority of the rural Cambodian diet consists of rice and fish

In the past, Cambodians had to deal with a shortage of food. However, the situation has improved to a great extent in the current times due to international help and political stability. Nevertheless, even today, the rural diet in Cambodia majorly includes fish and rice. Many other ingredients like mint and ginger can also be included.  People put great emphasis on family life

Even though people are attached to their families across all parts of the globe, Cambodians emphasise their families greatly. The families are generally bigger as extended family members are also closely associated. Distant relatives like uncles, aunts, and cousins usually celebrate most of the festivals together.  Most Cambodians practice their religion

Numerous temples are a clear indication that a majority of Cambodians are highly religious. Buddhism is the most followed religion in the country. Approximately 97% of people follow Theravada Buddhism in Cambodia. Even the younger individuals are highly engaged in religious activities. Most people visit temples during a variety of festivals. People also hang photos of Buddha in their homes. Superstitions are quite popular in Cambodia 

Superstitions are quite common in many Asian countries, and Cambodia is no exception. Many Cambodians believe in spirits and superpowers. Superstitions have become a regular part of life for most people. For instance, whenever a new enterprise is opened, it must be blessed.  Cambodian festivals Festivals are a major part of Cambodia’s rich history and culture. Plenty of festivals are celebrated in the country throughout the year. During festivals, people come together and make the most out of it. Tourists from different parts of the world also relish these festivities. Learning more about these festivals and traditions will allow us to become a greater part of them and rejoice in them to the fullest. Moreover, we will also be able to plan the Cambodia tour packages effectively to attend the festival we want. Here are some of the most popular festivals that take place in Cambodia: 

Khmer New Year

Khmer New Year is one of the most prominent festivals in Cambodia. During this festival, people with Khmer roots return to their places in order to celebrate the end of the harvest season for three days. Farmers who have worked hard all year long also take a break. Throughout the festivities, people spend time with their families and go to different temples. 

King Norodom Sihamoni’s Birthday

The birth and coronation of the current monarch of Cambodia, King Norodom Sihamoni is celebrated from 13th May to 15th May each year. This day remains of great significance for Cambodians as in the memory of Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge. Hence, the people express their gratitude toward the progressive government. 

Pchum Ben/Ancestor’s Day

Cambodian Independence Day is widely celebrated across the country to commemorate the end of French rule that lasted for over 90 years. This significant day is celebrated on 9th November in the Independence Monument. People from all walks of time come together to rejoice in this historical day.

Cambodian Visa for Indians 

Gone are the days when getting a visa used to be stressful. Today, Indians can get an eVisa for Cambodia easily, even without reaching out to the Cambodian Embassy. eVisa is ideal for people who are interested in visiting the country as a tourist.  It is vital to understand that Indian citizens require a visa to go to Cambodia, even for a relatively short span of time. Before departure, Indians can apply for the Cambodia eVisa. With the eVisa, we can spend an entire month In Cambodia for the purpose of tourism. In case, we need to spend more than a month or are going there for any non-tourism related purpose, it is ideal to contact the Cambodian Embassy in India for more information regarding the visa. Follow these steps to get a Cambodian visa:

• Filling the electronic visa form (for Indians)
• Use a debit card or credit card to pay for the visa
• Forward the visa application to be reviewed.  

It is worth noting that the Cambodian visa processing is quite fast. Moreover, many Indian citizens receive the approved visa within only 3 to 4 business days via email. 

There are majorly two types of visas Indians can choose from to visit Cambodia - Cambodia Tourist Visa for Indians and Cambodia Business Visas for Indians In order to receive a tourist visa, we would need a few documents including a digital photo, passport, email id, and a debit or credit card. Thus, before finalising the Cambodia package, make sure we have all the necessary documents.

Foreign Currency

Cambodia's official currency is the Cambodian Riel. However, the United States Dollar has been acting as the unofficial second currency of the country for a long time. The majority of local businesses in Cambodia would accept the USD  without any issues. Moreover, if we receive a visa on arrival, we would also be required to pay the amount in USD. This clearly shows that US dollars should be the ideal choice for international travellers.  While it is quite clear that USD will go a long way in Cambodia, many tourists still face many issues regarding a forex exchange. From getting the best rate for the bucks to choosing a reliable source, exchanging domestic currency for dollars can be complicated. Thomas Cook  can help us in solving this issue. A rate card  is available on the official website wherein we can buy and sell the currency of our choice.  When it comes to buying, tourists can also get a travel card which is much more convenient than carrying cash all the time. We can also choose to sell INR to receive the currency of our choice.  Moreover, there is an incredible option of Locked-in exchange rates. This will save us the worry of constant fluctuations in the market. The forex travel card can be loaded at the locked-in exchange rate and will ensure that the value of the amount remains the same irrespective of the fluctuations.  Thomas Cooks understands the customer's pain points and aims to come up with the best possible travel-related solutions. Thus, investing in a travel card can improve the Cambodia tour package. 

Other such places to visit in Cambodia

Cambodia has been a spectacular tourist destination over the years. Its temples, beaches, rich history and culture have won the hearts of millions of tourists. Today, there are incredible Cambodia tour packages available. Nevertheless, after visiting this beautiful country, one would love to explore other Southeast Asian countries as well. So, here’s a list of countries we can try if we loved Cambodia: Laos :  Laos is a nation that could be ideal for those who love nature. Laos has also become a very popular tourist destination over the years. Its adventure sports can excite all the tourists. Similar to Cambodia, Laos also has a UNESCO heritage site: Luang Prabang. While it is not as famous as Angkor Wat, a good number of travellers visit Laos each year in search of new experiences.  Indonesia :  Many would argue that hardly any countries have more scenic beauty than Indonesia . Its divine beaches, incredible forests, and astounding hikes are a call for tourists from countries across the globe. Vietnam :  Vietnam  is one of the safest and most affordable tourist destinations not only in Asia but across the globe. Even wars could not vanish the marvellous beauty of this Southeast Asian country. With a rich history, beautiful infrastructure, and finger-licking food, Vietnam has become one of the favourite tourist destinations. The trip to Asia will be incomplete without visiting Vietnam once.
