Do India citizens need a visa for Cambodia? For tourism travel, the current rule is e-visa, with a permitted stay of up to 30 days per visit. This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Official Kingdom of Cambodia e-Visa, on 2026-08-29. It applies to India passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.
An e-visa means you apply online before you travel and receive approval electronically, without an embassy visit. Approval is usually subject to the authorities’ checks, so apply with enough time before departure and keep the approved e-visa with your documents.

Practical notes about Cambodia — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
The Sunken Galleries of the Angkor Complex
Angkor, the ceremonial capital of the Khmer empire, covers hundreds of square kilometres of temples, reservoirs and ancient cities, and its heart is the site complex that stretches around Siem Reap. Angkor Wat itself, the largest religious monument in the world, rises in its iconic five towers over a moat and causeway, its bas-relief galleries telling the myths and battle epics of the Khmer world in long carved sequences. The Bayon, at the ancient centre of Angkor Thom, stacks dozens of enormous smiling faces on its towers, and the jungle-framed Ta Prohm pushes the roots of fig and strangler trees straight through the stonework. The parasol shade of the outer temples, the tiers of Pre Rup and the finely carved Banteay Srei spread to the outer circuit. The site rewards both the dawn crowds at the pool before the wat and the quiet afternoons in the outer temples.
The Sulk of the Tonle Sap and Its Floating Villages
The Tonle Sap, the great lake at Cambodia's heart, reverses its flow every monsoon, expanding across the flooded forest and then draining back south toward the Mekong through the same rivers that feed it. This annual rhythm, unique to this water system, drives the country's fishing economy and creates the floating villages that live on the water all year. The village of Kampong Khleang, built on stilts around the lake's northern shore, stays high and dry above the flood level, while Chong Kneas hosts the daily boats of fishing families, schools and houses that winter on the lake. The villagers catch the lake's fish with nets and cages that shift with the water, and the flooded forest hides birds, snakes and the season's young fish. The lake view at sunset, with the palms of the floodplain breaking the horizon, colours the whole country's sense of scale.
The Riverscape Promenades of Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh, spread along the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, is Cambodia's working, watchful capital. The Royal Palace complex lines the riverfront with its gardens, the throne hall and the Silver Pagoda, its floor tiled in silver that catches the afternoon light. The National Museum across the way holds the masterpieces of Khmer stone and bronze that survey the country's sculptural history. The promenade along the Sisowath quay runs past the old French quarter and the newer bars that have made the waterfront the city's social spine. The central market's dome and the old station mark the colonial plan, while the islands in the river keep the city's views mixing old and new. The temple on top of the city's namesake hill stands where the foundation was laid, and the river at dusk keeps the whole city oriented to the water.
The Bamboo Train and Colonial Baked Brick of Battambang
Battambang, Cambodia's second city, ambles along a grid of French-era shop-houses and faded colonial villas, its riverfront and the quiet traffic of its markets giving it a gentler pace than the capital. The old French quarter holds the governor's residence, the shuttered bank buildings and the cafe streets that sketch the town's vanished prosperity. The signature experience is the bamboo train: a flat platform of slats on two wheels, pushed by a small engine along a single disused rail line through the rice country, with the crossing points where two trains must lift one off the track negotiated by hand. The countryside hides the shells of old brickworks and rice mills that once fed the region's trade. The small temples of the town and the Bat Cave hill, where thousands of bats stream out at sunset, complete a region less visited than the Angkor circuit.
