Important Information for Packages

Dress Code

Visitors are required to dress modestly when visiting the Angkor temples, Buddhist temples, and the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. Please ensure that your knees and shoulders are covered, as shorts and sleeveless shirts are not permitted.

Seasonal Insights

From late March to June, Siem Reap’s floating villages experience a dramatic drop in water levels. This offers a unique glimpse into daily village life during the dry season. While the landscape may lose some of its charm and navigation can be tricky, these challenges create an adventurous experience.

What to Bring

  • Insect repellent
  • Sunscreen
  • Sun hat
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Camera (recommended)
  • Necessary cash for personal expenses

Tipping

Tips are included in all Premium trips, covering hotel staff, local guides, and others who assist you during your travels. However, this amount does not include tips for your leader and driver.
