When is the best time to take a tour to Vietnam and Cambodia?
The best time for visiting Vietnam is from October to April: The temperature is quite cool, the sky is clear from north to south. From the end of December to February, the weather in the north will be colder, which is great when exploring the mountainous area in the north of Vietnam. The best time for visiting Cambodia is the dry season which is from November to March. The dry season has clear sky, sunshine and high visibility.
Therefore, in our opinion and for most tourists, the best season for visiting Vietnam and Cambodia is from October to April. However, if coming in May to September is also not a bad idea because there are less travelers in Vietnam and Cambodia at that time, you will have more space to travel and you will have a better experience participating in all the activities at the beaches in Vietnam.
