Cambodia
Cambodia is world renowned for the temples at Angkor Wat, and for good reason. A visit to the magnificent ancient temples will provoke deep contemplation of bygone eras, sparking the imagination and instilling a sense of tranquilty and complete awe. Easily accessible from anywhere in southeast Asia, a Cambodia extension is well worthwhile for antiquity aficionados and cultural connoisseurs eager to visit one of the world’s most magnificent archaeological sites while also experiencing authentic, meaningful immersion in the local culture.
Most travelers will spend their time in Cambodia based out of Siem Reap. This allows several days for exploring the Angkor area, and with over 1,000 temples located in Angkor, it’s good to allow ample time for exploration. In addition to temples, Siem Reap is a foodie’s delight, and opportunities abound for cooking lessons or tastings from award-winning chefs. Life in the countryside just outside the city provides authentic encounters with local farmers, artisans, and fishermen eager to share their lifestyle with you. Explore these cultural gems with your private guide by bicycle or by boat, stopping to sample mouthwatering delicacies and admire the stunning landscapes around you along the way.
If you are interested in venturing beyond Siem Reap, Cambodia’s glittering capital city of Phnom Penh is an excellent stop for urban enthusiasts. Delve into bygone eras with visits to the National Museum and the Royal Palace and tantalize your tastebuds with Cambodian barbeque or gourmet Khmer cuisine. For those truly looking to get away from it all, staying on a private island near Koh Rong is the perfect way to wind down your trip, offering barefoot luxury at its finest.
