Best Time to Visit Angkor Wat
The best time to visit Angkor Wat is during the dry season, which runs from November to March. During these months, the weather is cool and dry, with clear blue skies and little rain. This makes it the perfect time to explore the temples and take photographs without having to worry about rain or humidity.
However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher hotel rates. If you want to avoid the crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October. The weather is still relatively dry and sunny, but there are fewer visitors and lower prices.
If you don’t mind rainy weather, you can also visit during the wet season from May to October. The upside of visiting during this time is that the temples are lush and green, and the rain cools down the temperature and helps reduce the crowd. Note that visiting during the wet season requires additional preparation as there may be flooding or landslides.
