Mumbai to Phnom Penh flights — quick facts

Airlines and connections for Mumbai to Phnom Penh

No nonstop flight connects Mumbai (BOM) and Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) as of 2026. The most practical routing is via Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi, BKK) with Air India or IndiGo on the Mumbai–Bangkok leg, connecting to Cambodia Angkor Air, Bangkok Airways, or AirAsia on BKK–PNH (about 1.5 hours). Routing via Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on AirAsia from Mumbai and then AirAsia or Malaysia Airlines to Phnom Penh is another viable option. Via Singapore (SIN), Singapore Airlines to PNH direct or Scoot's connections work well. Bangkok is generally the most frequent and convenient transit point.

Travel time and distance from Mumbai to Phnom Penh

The Mumbai–Phnom Penh great-circle distance is roughly 4,500 km. Via Bangkok, total travel time is approximately 10–12 hours: about 5.5 hours for the BOM–BKK leg, 1.5 hours for BKK–PNH, and a 2–3 hour layover at Suvarnabhumi. Via Kuala Lumpur, the BOM–KUL leg is 4.5 hours and KUL–PNH is about 2 hours, with a similar layover. Via Singapore, Singapore Airlines operates SIN–PNH in about 2 hours. Overnight Bangkok transits are popular as they turn the journey into an efficient two-day trip with a Bangkok evening thrown in.

Cambodia visa rules for Indian passport holders

Indian passport holders require a visa to enter Cambodia. The Cambodia e-visa is the easiest option — apply at evisa.gov.kh for USD 36 (30-day single entry), with processing in 3–5 business days. Alternatively, a Visa on Arrival is available at Phnom Penh International Airport for approximately USD 30, requiring one passport photo and USD cash. Business visas are available at a higher fee. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure from Cambodia. Check /visas for the current Cambodia visa policy.

Best season for Phnom Penh and advance booking guidance

The cool dry season from November to February is the most pleasant time to visit Phnom Penh and the rest of Cambodia — humidity is manageable and outdoor exploration comfortable. The Khmer Water Festival (Bon Om Touk) in November draws huge crowds to the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers and is a spectacular cultural event. March–May is very hot (up to 36°C). The wet season (June–October) brings daily afternoon rains but the rice fields are lush and tourist numbers lower. Book flights 6–10 weeks ahead for November–February travel; Christmas period commands premium fares.

Phnom Penh International Airport: arrivals and city access

Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) is located just 8 km west of the city centre, making it one of Southeast Asia's most conveniently sited airports. A metered taxi from the official taxi desk costs approximately USD 9–12 to central Phnom Penh and takes 15–25 minutes in normal traffic. Tuk-tuks are available for less. Grab operates in Phnom Penh and is the recommended ride-hailing option — set it up before landing. The airport has a modern terminal with separate international arrivals and departures on different floors; the VOA counters are on the arrivals level.

Baggage rules and fare class tips for this route

International Economy fares via Air India (BOM–BKK) and Cambodia Angkor Air (BKK–PNH) typically include 20–25 kg of checked baggage. If you book two separate tickets, baggage is not automatically transferred at Bangkok — collect it, clear immigration (if needed), and re-check at the international counter. Bangkok Airways, which operates BKK–PNH, is a full-service regional carrier with 20 kg checked baggage in Economy and meals included. AirAsia's base fares are baggage-free; add at least 20 kg during booking to avoid sharp add-on fees at check-in.

Must-see sites in Phnom Penh

The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda (closed Monday mornings) are the visual heart of Phnom Penh, with the Mekong and Tonle Sap confluence just metres away at the Sisowath Quay promenade. The National Museum of Cambodia, adjacent to the palace, houses the world's finest collection of Khmer sculpture. The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21 prison) and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields Memorial (15 km outside the city) are sobering but essential visits for understanding Cambodia's recent history. The Old Market (Phsar Thmei) and Russian Market (Phsar Tuol Tom Poung) offer silk scarves, silverware, and street food.

Is it appropriate to visit the Tuol Sleng and Killing Fields?

Yes, these sites are open to tourists and the revenue supports preservation and victim memorialisation. Dress modestly (covered shoulders and knees) as a mark of respect. The visits are emotionally heavy — many visitors recommend going to the Killing Fields first and finishing at Tuol Sleng, or vice versa, with the full day set aside for both. Audio guides are highly recommended.

Can I combine Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in one trip?

Yes, easily. Cambodia Angkor Air and other carriers fly between Phnom Penh (PNH) and Siem Reap (SAI) in under an hour. Alternatively, an air-conditioned bus takes about 6 hours and is very affordable. A common itinerary is 2 nights in Phnom Penh and 3–4 nights in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat.

What currency is used in Phnom Penh, and is card payment common?

Cambodia uses the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but US dollars are used almost universally in Phnom Penh for transactions, with Riel given as change for amounts under USD 1. Card payments are accepted at major hotels and restaurants. Withdraw USD from ATMs (small fee per transaction) for maximum flexibility. Avoid using INR — it is not widely exchangeable locally.
