Find hotels in Kampong Khleang from CA $14

The best time to go to Kampong Khleang is during the dry season, from November to April, especially from December to February when the weather is most pleasant.During these months, the water levels in the Tonlé Sap lake are lower, which means the stilted houses of Kampong Khleang are more visibly elevated above the ground. This offers a clearer perspective of the unique architecture and the daily life of the villagers who live high above the water. The weather is typically sunny with less humidity, making boat trips more enjoyable and walking around the village more comfortable.For travellers interested in seeing the village at its most dramatic, with houses towering over the water, this period is ideal. It's also a great time for photography, as the clear skies and lower water levels provide excellent lighting and unobstructed views of the stilted communities and surrounding landscape.If you prefer to see the floating forest fully submerged and experience the high water levels, the wet season (May to October) can also be interesting.
