Cambodia Discovery

Routing:

Best Highlights of the tour


  • Royal Palace & National Museum
  • Angkor Wat
  • Boat trip on Tonle Sap Lake
Ancient temples, empty beaches, mighty rivers, remote forests… and (outside Angkor) only a handful of tourists. But the word is out – Cambodia has emerged from decades of war and isolation and is well and truly back on the Southeast Asian travel map. From Phnom Penh we fly to Siem Reap. At Angkor we have 3 whole days to explore the complex; from the splendor of Angkor Wat to the enigmatic faces of the Bayon and the haunting Ta Prohm temple, enveloped in the clutches of the jungle.
