Additionally, our guides are fluent in English and will be on hand to assist with translations whenever needed, ensuring smooth and clear communication throughout your adventure.
Phones + Wi-Fi
Staying connected in Cambodia is easy.
You'll be able to pick up a local SIM card on day one with the help of our team, and there’s reliable Wi-Fi in most accommodations, cafés, and project sites — so whether it’s checking in at home or sharing your adventures, you’re covered.
Weather & Travel Times
Cambodia has two distinct seasons: wet and dry.
We travel during the dry season, which runs from November to April, expect warm, sunny days that are perfect for exploring and making the most of your adventure.
Visas & Entry Requirements
If you hold a UK or US passport, you can obtain a T Visa for Cambodia on arrival or apply online before your trip. The visa costs $36 and allows a stay of up to 30 days. Apply through the official eVisa website: https://www.evisa.gov.kh/
Passport Requirements
Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your entry date into Cambodia and have at least two blank pages.
Proof of Exit
You’ll need to provide proof of onward travel, such as a return ticket or evidence of departure by air or land, upon entry into Cambodia.
Flights
You’ll fly into Siem Reap and out of Phnom Penh, with exact dates depending on flight availability. Please refrain from booking any flights independently - wait for our admin email, which will include your recommended flight itinerary.
We coordinate flights through Trailfinders, the UK’s most trusted travel brand, ensuring your booking is ATOL-protected for peace of mind (ATOL number T1458).
Insurance
For UK Residents: We recommend Campbell Irvine Ltd who have designed a policy specifically with our projects in mind. We suggest you purchase your travel insurance at the earliest opportunity, so you are covered for any insurable reasons in the unlikely event you must cancel having committed to your itinerary or paid for flights.
USA Residents: We recommend Inext who can combine with your exiting medical cover. Most Leapers buy the Platinum Policy.
Vaccinations
The following list is a general guide, please consult your GP or a travel health clinic for personalised medical advice based on your health history and travel plans. Vaccinations commonly recommended for travel to this region may include:
Hepatitis A
Japanese Encephalitis (recommended depending on season and itinerary)
Polio (often included in childhood vaccines—check if a booster is needed)
Tetanus (ensure your booster is up to date)
Typhoid
Money
Bring a mix of US dollars and a debit/credit card. Cash is widely used, and ATMs are easy to find, though cards aren't accepted everywhere. Cambodia uses both US Dollars and Cambodian Riel, you can pay with either, but expect change in Riel. It’s simple to manage and you'll get the hang of it quickly.
Budget around $150 per week, depending on your activities, and our team will help you find great value along the way.
