Why Do Trekking or Hiking in Cambodia?
Considered one of the best things to do in Cambodia, either trekking or hiking offers many reasons why everyone should try at least once. While hiking in Cambodia mostly goes on available routes, trekking is done on different terrain surfaces such as deserts or jungles. Fortunately, thanks to its thorny, majestic beauty with high peaks and cliffs, Cambodia is suitable for those new to these climbing sports.
- Great support from the local guide
The Cambodia trekking and hiking routes are not as complicated as others, but there are many shrubs and thorns, so it will make it difficult for you in the process of moving. Besides, the terrain has many grassy hills and low forests, so the higher you go, the stronger the wind makes you lose a lot of strength. Many turns make it easy to lose your way, so don't be afraid to ask porters for help. They are indigenous people who will guide and support you in the process of moving.
- Flat terrain even for beginners
The roads are pretty flat for those who take joy in hiking/ trekking, and you don't waste too much physical strength. Hiking and trekking in Cambodia is an activity that typically involves easy to moderate mobility; thus, it makes time for you to discover most gradually.
- Spectacular views from the top
The mountain peaks of Cambodia after a trek/ hike are the ideal places to watch the sunset. When the sun just woke up, peeking behind the large and small stones until it shines clearly on each glorious scene on the top of the mountain. The whole sky is dyed a brilliant pink and then suddenly turns golden when the sun gradually rises, creating a location that is nowhere to be found.
Best Time to Do A Hiking in Cambodia
It is believed that summer is very suitable for Cambodia trekking and hiking activities as it is a beautiful, sunny and windy season. This is also true, but depending on the route you choose. Before deciding, please consider some points to ensure security.
If you have come to Ho Chi Minh city, you will find that Cambodia's weather is quite similar to southern Vietnam. You will feel the difference between warm-dry (November – April) and humid-dry (May – October) conditions in the dry season. From May to October, the southwest monsoon blows into the country. Therefore, there is often heavy but short rain.
If you start a new year (December - March) with a hiking/ trekking trip in Cambodia, don't miss the scene of green grass, green forest trees, and blue sky, creating a picture of nature full of vitality. Otherwise, it will bring a wild array of colors in the burning season. The scattered yellow color of a few dried tree trunks printed on the blue sky makes the colors look like a vivid picture. The flaming yellow color stretches all the hills; above is the mist floating in the air, making it no different from the dreamland.
