Cambodia Trip from India: Visa, Angkor Wat and Trip Cost

A Cambodia trip from India is one of the best-value international holidays you can take this winter. Searches for Cambodia have surged about 10 times year-on-year this festive season, as Indian travellers discover a country that pairs the world's largest religious monument with island beaches, all at Southeast Asia's lowest prices. The short answer: Indians get a tourist visa for US$30 (approximately Rs 2,600), a 5-day Cambodia trip costs approximately Rs 55,000–Rs 1,20,000 per person, and November to March is the perfect season. Here is the full guide.

Why Cambodia Is Trending for Indian Travellers

Cambodia offers something no other nearby country does: Angkor Wat, a 12th-century temple city spread across 400 sq km with more than 90 temples, plus the riverside capital Phnom Penh, the floating villages of Tonle Sap lake, and the white-sand islands of Koh Rong. Flights from India take about 4–6 hours with one stop, food costs a fraction of Indian metro prices, and the US dollar is accepted everywhere. It is the rare destination that feels both ancient and easy.

Cambodia Visa for Indians: E-Visa or Visa on Arrival

Indian passport holders need a visa for Cambodia, but getting one is simple. The tourist e-visa costs US$30 (the fee was lowered from US$36 in January 2025), is valid for use within 3 months of issue, and allows a 30-day single-entry stay. Processing takes about 3 business days. Visa on Arrival is also available at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville airports for US$30 in cash, usually issued in 15–30 minutes. Since 3 October 2026, Cambodian embassies no longer paste visa stickers in passports — visas are issued electronically. Separately, complete the free Cambodia e-Arrival card online within 7 days before arrival. FlyingEasyGo handles the visa application process for customers end-to-end, so you do not have to deal with portals or paperwork.

Angkor Wat Ticket Price and Visiting Tips

Entry to Angkor Wat works through the Angkor Pass, which covers more than 90 temples across the archaeological park. A 1-day pass costs US$37 (approximately Rs 3,200), a 3-day pass US$62 (approximately Rs 5,400), and a 7-day pass US$72 (approximately Rs 6,300). Children under 12 enter free with a passport. For most first-time visitors the 3-day pass is the smart buy — one day at the temples is genuinely rushed. The park opens at 5:00 AM for sunrise over the reflecting pools; buy your pass after 5:00 PM the evening before and it is valid from the next day, letting you skip the dawn queue. Dress modestly — shoulders and knees must be covered inside the main tower.

Best time to visit Cambodia from India

November to March is the best time to visit Cambodia, with dry, cooler weather ideal for temple-hopping and island days. June–October is monsoon season: the temples are greener and quieter, but rain and muddy paths are part of the deal. Book December–January hotels early — that is peak season.

5-Day Cambodia Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrive Siem Reap: land at Siem Reap, check in, evening at Pub Street and the night market.

Day 2 — Angkor Wat sunrise + Angkor Thom: sunrise at Angkor Wat, then the Bayon temple's giant stone faces, Ta Prohm's jungle-wrapped ruins and sunset at Phnom Bakheng.

Day 3 — Outer temples: Banteay Srei's pink-sandstone carvings, a Tonle Sap floating-village boat trip, and an evening Apsara dance show.

Day 4 — Phnom Penh: fly or bus to the capital; Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and the Tuol Sleng museum and Killing Fields for history.

Day 5 — Islands or departure: either a beach day at Koh Rong (Sihanoukville) or souvenir shopping at Phnom Penh's Central Market before flying home.

Cambodia Trip Cost from India (Approximate)

A 5-day budget Cambodia trip costs approximately Rs 55,000–Rs 75,000 per person, including one-stop return flights (approximately Rs 25,000–Rs 40,000), guesthouses (approximately Rs 1,500–Rs 3,000 per night), tuk-tuks, food and the Angkor pass. A comfortable mid-range trip costs approximately Rs 80,000–Rs 1,20,000 per person with 3–4 star hotels and a private guide at Angkor. Daily food costs approximately Rs 500–Rs 1,200 per person. All figures are approximate and vary by departure city and season.

Pro Tips for Indians

• Carry US dollars in small notes: dollars are accepted everywhere; small bills make tuk-tuk and market life easy.
• Hire a tuk-tuk for Angkor: a full-day remork costs approximately Rs 1,300–Rs 1,800 and beats walking between temples in the heat.
• Combine with Vietnam: Siem Reap pairs naturally with a Vietnam e-visa trip — Ho Chi Minh City is a short flight away.
• Book Angkor hotels early: Siem Reap's best boutique stays sell out first in December–January.
