We want you to have a great holiday experience, so we only run our trips during the times of year that are suitable for travel.
Vietnam
Vietnam
has a climate suitable for travel year round. During winter (November
to April) the north can be cool with light rain, while the south is
cool and dry, turning hot and humid in March and April. In summer (May
to October) the north is hot and humid with intermittent monsoon rains,
while the south has short heavy afternoon bursts of rain.
Thailand
There
is no inappropriate time for travelling in Thailand. From March to June
central and northern Thailand are hot and dry. From June to October the
rains generally fall in short, refreshing bursts, and the south has
monsoons. From November to February is the cooler dry season, with
monsoons in the east coast until January.
Cambodia and Laos
Between
May and early October the monsoon brings strong winds and quite heavy
rain, which helps to temper the otherwise high humidity. The dry
season, with cooler temperatures, is from November to March.
Borneo
Borneo
has an equatorial climate and is hot and humid all year round, with the
exception of Mount Kinabalu, which can be extremely cold on the upper
slopes and summit. The dry season in Sabah and Sarawak is from March to
September.
Burma
Burma has three distinct
seasons. It is cool from October to February (20° - 28°C), hot from
March to early June (up to 45°C in the central region) and rainy from
early June to September. It can be much cooler in the areas of high
altitude, such as the hill station of Maymyo and the Inle lake region.
Papua New Guinea
The
climate is hot and very humid all year round, with a high level of
rainfall between December and March, when it is virtually impossible to
go trekking. May to October is considered the dry season, although it
is not unusual to encounter rain during this period.
