Vietnam and Cambodia are neighboring countries that blend beautifully into one unforgettable journey. From emerald rice terraces and misty mountains to golden beaches and ancient temples, both nations offer an incredible mix of landscapes and cultures.
Traveling between them feels seamless. One moment you are cruising through Ha Long Bay, and the next you are exploring the timeless ruins of Angkor. Together, Vietnam and Cambodia create a journey rich in color, history, and soul.
Two neighboring gems of Southeast Asia: easily connected by land or short flights, making them ideal to combine in one seamless journey.
Vietnam: a land of contrasts: from the emerald rice terraces of the north and the misty mountains of Sapa to the golden beaches of Da Nang and the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
Cambodia: home to the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, peaceful countryside, floating villages on Tonlé Sap Lake, and a deep spiritual heritage.
Shared heritage and distinct cultures: both nations were once part of the Indochina Federation, yet each preserves its own language, cuisine, and rhythm of life.
Easy border crossing: travel by boat along the Mekong River from Vietnam’s delta to Phnom Penh, or fly between cities like Hanoi–Siem Reap or Ho Chi Minh–Phnom Penh in under two hours.
Everyday life connections: Vietnamese and Cambodian people often share trade, traditions, and even dishes along the border regions.

2. What is the best time to visit Cambodia?
The dry season from mid-October to April is ideal for visiting Cambodia due to its mild weather, clear blue skies, and minimal rainfall. From May to September, although it is the rainy season, the rain typically lasts only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny, making sightseeing still possible.
3. Can you reach Cambodia by air?
Yes, it is absolutely possible to reach Cambodia by air. You can take a flight from Ho Chi Minh City (or Hanoi) to Siem Reap and dedicate the rest of your trip to exploring the magnificent Angkorian temples.
4. Does the agency handle all the entry formalities for Vietnam and Cambodia?
For American, Australian, and United Kingdom's citizens, there is no visa exemption for stays in Vietnam. You will need to apply for a visa before their trip. An e-visa is recommended, which can be easily requested online on the Vietnamese Immigration website.
You can obtain a visa on arrival at international airports (Phnom Penh/Siem Reap) or at border ports, including the one on the Mekong River during a boat transfer from southern Vietnam to Phnom Penh. Our agency assists you with all the visa application procedures when booking your trip.
5. Given the proximity to Vietnam and Cambodia, can you extend the trip to include Laos or Thailand?
Yes, Thailand and Laos share borders with Cambodia and Vietnam. It is possible to add Laos or Thailand to your trip, but you will need to extend your journey by at least 5-7 days. You can travel from Cambodia to Laos or Thailand by land or by air. The same applies for traveling from Vietnam to Laos.
6. Can the trip start in Cambodia and end in Vietnam?
Yes, it is possible to start the trip in Cambodia (in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap) and finish it in Vietnam (in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Our travel advisor will tailor the itinerary to your request.
7. How to get to Cambodia from Vietnam?
From Vietnam, you can travel to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by river (taking a boat up the Mekong River from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.
8. How many days are needed for a combined Vietnam-Cambodia trip?
A panoramic tour of both countries will take you at least 15 days. With a few more days or an additional week, you can explore Vietnam more deeply by discovering its authentic northern mountains or relaxing on one of its beautiful beaches (Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc). Alternatively, you can enjoy a beach in Cambodia (in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).
9. What are the best times to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia?
Vietnam has a varied climate from north to south due to its diverse topographies and the length of the country (2000 km from north to south). When one region is humid, cold, or rainy, another may be pleasantly sunny. Based on our experience, the best time to visit Vietnam is from October to April. During this period, the best months are October to November and mid-March to May. These are the times when the climate remains pleasant and, moreover, they are the least rainy months of the year in Vietnam. For the months of July and August, it is a bit hot (30-35 degrees), but Halong Bay is usually sunny. You will also have the chance to see the region colored by green or yellow rice terraces stretching as far as the eye can see. As for the south, although it is the rainy season, the rain will not last all day but only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny. The climate in Cambodia is quite similar to that in southern Vietnam.

I’m finally taking the time to write to thank you for the excellent work in organizing and managing our trip to Vietnam.
We absolutely loved the itinerary—everything was perfect!
The guides you chose were fantastic. Huan and Hong Anh Dang were so knowledgeable and shared so much about your beautiful country with us. Their English was excellent, and it was also wonderful to have a female guide on the team.
The hotels were great, and the evenings spent with local families were a real highlight.
The bus was very comfortable, and the driver was friendly, careful, and professional—TOP marks!
