Best time to visit Siem Reap

Cool dry season (peak season)
From November to February, days are warm and less humid, around 24–30°C (75–86°F). Clear skies make temple visits and countryside trips comfortable, especially in the mornings and late afternoons. This is a popular time to travel, with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere around town.
