Traveling in Cambodia is the epitome of the Southeast Asian experience.
Amidst the Cardamom Mountains and along the Mekong’s banks, Khmer village life maintains its timeless rhythm. As you witness the sunrise over Angkor Wat or the ancient ruins of Ta Prohm, the modern world recedes into the distance. Cambodia, once marred by a tragic past, now marches forward. Riverside boulevards and art galleries grace Phnom Penh, while Siem Reap earns accolades for its trendy cafes and gourmet dining. Cambodia tours offer more than temple gazing, although we must admit, the temples are utterly captivating.
Begin your Cambodian adventure with the must-dos, then relish in the art of slowing down. The iconic Angkor Wat, spread across 400 acres, stands as Cambodia’s crown jewel. Its colossal grandeur, intricate bas-relief sculptures, and profound symbolism are beyond words. Welcoming over a million visitors annually, the nearby town of Siem Reap has blossomed into a vibrant hub catering to the curious.
Delve into Cambodia’s poignant history by visiting the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Choeung Ek Killing Fields in the bustling capital, Phnom Penh. Later, find solace amidst opulence at the Royal Palace, adorned with exquisite gardens. At twilight, join locals by the river, where waterfront bars grace the boardwalk and open-air exercises and dance lessons abound.
Relaxed and charming, Cambodia stands apart from Vietnam’s hustle and Thailand’s well-trodden paths. The birthplace of the mighty Angkor Empire, it gifts visitors with breathtaking landscapes, historic marvels, and tantalizing street cuisine. Diversity reigns supreme, whether you wish to explore Cambodia’s recent history at the sobering Choeung Ek Killing Fields, marvel at the architectural wonders of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Banteay Srei, or lose yourself in the vibrant nightlife of Phnom Penh and the energetic clubs of Sihanoukville.
This soaring, ornate temple is the country’s national symbol and undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions in Cambodia. Surrounded by a gigantic moat and an outer wall measuring over 2 miles, it’s the largest religious monument in the world and by far the best-preserved temple at Angkor. Watching the sunrise here is an experience you will never forget.
Built in the 12th century, this gigantic walled city at Angkor was the former capital of the Khmer Empire, and is home to some of Cambodia’s most mind-blowing monuments. Highlights include the Bayon (a highly ornate Khmer temple); the 350m long Terrace Of The Elephants and the magnificent fully restored South Gate.
What appears at first glance to be a miniature inland sea is actually Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake. Here you’ll find a huge community of fishermen living on floating and stilted homes, an ingenious solution to the huge seasonal variation in water levels.
Had your fix of culture at Angkor? Time to blow off some steam. While things don’t reach the fever pitch of neighbouring Thailand, Siem Reap nightlife is lively enough for most. Pub Street is where the action is at its thickest, and here’s where you’ll find the greatest concentration of clubs and many of the best bars in Siem Reap.
A visit to this bustling old market is one of the most popular things to do in Siem Reap, and here you’ll find all the knick knacks, handicrafts and exotic fresh produce you could wish for. However, it’s the food stalls that are the real star of the show: make sure you leave plenty of time to work your way through the choice of Cambodian delicacies on offer here.
