Cambodia Holidays

The Kingdom of Cambodia is a country in South East Asia with a population of over 13 million people. Cambodia is the successor state of the once powerful Hindu and Buddhist Khmer Empire. Cambodia's temperatures range from 21° to 35°C (69° to 95°F) and experiences tropical monsoons. The northeast monsoon ushers in the dry season, which lasts from november to march. The country experiences the heaviest precipitation from september to october with the driest period occurring from january to february.

    Cambodia has a wide variety of plants and animals. There are 212 mammal species, 536 bird species, 240 reptile species, 850 freshwater fish species and 435 marine fish species. Khmer culture, as developed and spread by the Khmer empire, has distinctive styles of dance, architecture and sculpture, which have been exchanged with neighbouring Laos and Thailand. Angkor Wat (Angkor means "city" and Wat "temple") is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture.
