What changes month-to-month
  • Best months (Nov-Mar): Cleanest weather, full attraction calendar, but flights ~20% more + hotels +30-50%. Book 8-10 weeks ahead.
  • Shoulder season: Best price/value. Weather acceptable, fewer crowds at top sights, flights drop ~15-20%.
  • Off-peak: Cheapest flights + hotels, but expect rain/heat/closures depending on country. Worth it only if budget is tight.
  • Indian school holidays (Dec 20-Jan 5, May 1-Jun 15, Oct): Indian-route flights spike 30-50%. Avoid if dates are flexible.
Cambodia specifics

Nov-Mar is the dry, cooler window (24-32°C), the only comfortable time for the Angkor temple complex. Apr-May is brutal heat (38°C+). Jun-Oct is the wet season, the moat and rice paddies are lush and green but afternoon downpours are heavy. Angkor Wat sunrise is the iconic moment, arrive by 5am. Khmer New Year (mid-Apr 2026) closes shops for ~3 days. Route via /destinations/th Bangkok or /destinations/my KL. See /visa/cambodia and /from/chennai/to/cambodia.
