Customisable Itinerary
5.0 • (1 review)

Trip Overview

Combine Cambodia's finest elements while travelling in this amazing country.

Starting in Siem Reap, you'll find yourself sitting at the gateway to one of Southeast Asia's mindblowing architecture and history as you enter Angkor. Explore Khmer history and one of the greatest civilisations of all time through temples and the most important buildings of this ancient city. We'll get in touch with local life on Tonle Sap, Cambodia's largest lake before you kick back and relax for a few days on the paradise island of Koh Rong, just moments from Sihanoukville.

Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, you'll end your holiday to Cambodia in Phnom Penh where you'll have a day of mixed emotions as you are introduced to the country's darker past and some of its shiniest architecture, finishing with one last sunset over the river.
