Graced with some of the finest temples on earth, Cambodia is an exotic country with an intoxicating history, very hospitable people, delicious blend of French & Asian fusion cuisine and impressive landscapes and natural wonders. Experience the majesty of temples such as Angkor Wat, go jet-skiing on the Mekong, elephant trekking through whispering bamboo forests, explore untouched villages that pepper its landscape or luxuriate on idyllic beaches that line its coast. An old world French colonial charm also still remains, making Cambodia one of Asia’s real gems.

From magnificent ancient temples shrouded in luminous jungle to blissful beaches that line the coast, Cambodia is a small country with a huge amount to offer. With the awe inspiring UNESCO heritage temples of Angkor Wat at its centre along with its burgeoning riverside capital, Phnom Penh, which still retains a small-town atmosphere, Cambodia is bursting with things to do, easily filling four to five days as part of a longer tour. Both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap offer a captivating insight into Cambodia’s intoxicating past; from one of Asia’s earliest civilizations to a country completely crippled by genocide. Its astonishing warmth as a nation often comes as a surprise considering the country’s tragic past and many find learning about its history a sobering but fascinating highlight of their trip.

For those with more time we highly recommend staying longer. Dig a bit deeper and you’ll find the most enchanting colonial towns such as Battambang, pristine rural villages that are home to infectious smiles as well as glistening beaches that line its untouched coast. These can be found in Sihanoukville, Kep and the island of Song Saa, with a refreshing selection of small luxury hotels to boot. Along the way try gourmet temple breakfasts, experience kayaking on Tonle Sap Lake, float through the forests formerly home to the Khmer Rouge and even helicopter to remote and rarely seen temples.
