DISCOVER CAMBODIA
Glorious beaches, forests rich in wildlife, a captivating culture and history, and ancient temples including the glorious Angkor Wat, make the enchanting land of Cambodia one of our most popular destinations. Delightfully welcoming people and delicious cuisine add to the mix. French colonial influences can clearly be seen in the gardens, villas, and boulevards of Cambodia’s fascinating capital Phnom Penh. Off the beaten track the hills and forests are home to wild elephants and mighty waterfalls as well as resilient minority peoples, whilst the beaches of the south coast are perfect for some relaxation with options ranging from beach huts to luxury 5-star properties.
The intricately carved Temples of Angkor are famous around the world and feature on virtually all itineraries. Whilst the magnificent main complex is where most people head, the region is home to hundreds of temples, many gradually reclaimed by jungle over hundreds of years, and it is quite possible to have a huge site virtually all to yourself should you be willing to explore a little. Phnom Penh is home to numerous sites including those dealing with Cambodia’s painful modern history whilst a food tour is a great way to experience the city’s street food, a unique blend of Western and Khmer cuisine. The hills and jungles of the northeast have only opened up in recent years and are the place to head for cultural and wildlife experiences whilst the beaches and islands in the south are the perfect place to end a tour and put your feet up.
