Cambodia overview

Whilst the majestic temples of Angkor Wat – one of the seven wonders of the forgotten world are most visited by travelers, the rest of the country is filled with fantastic natural beauty. This is the place to experience the rhythm of rural life and time-less landscape of dazzling rice paddies and swaying sugar palms.
Soak up the chaotic yet charismatic capital of Phnom Penh, where the Wild West meets Asia; enjoy the laid-back, Colonial heritage of Kep and Kampot and the lovely beaches of Sihanoukville; explore the natural wealth of Koh Kong and the Cardamom Mountains, part of a vast tropical wilderness that provides a home to elusive wildlife and is the gateway to emerging ecotourism adventures; find solitude on the southern sands; and experience the wild and mountainous landscapes in the north-east, home for Cambodia’s ethnic minorities and abundance of natural attractions.
