Experience the intricately carved temples of Angkor Wat.....

One of South East Asia's most beloved countries, Cambodia with the temples of Angkor Wat the eighth wonder of the world are seemingly the main draw, but elsewhere in the country you’ll find vibrant minority villages and great swathes of wilderness.

Watch bands of auburn-orange burn against the silhouetted towers of Angkor Wat is spellbinding, its sight hypnotises. No wonder then that a sunrise at Angkor makes for a compelling start to the day and is a dramatic backdrop to one of the world’s most iconic travel wonders.

Built in the 12th century, the Angkor Wat ruins sit in an archaeological park that extends for 400 square kilometres, a scale beyond what many visitors anticipate and an underground city that lies beneath too!

There is more to Cambodia than its temples, the hectic yet magnetic capital Phnom Penh is invigorated with its sumptuous riverside setting, cultural renaissance, and world-class wining and dining scene.

Cambodia’s second city Siem Reap is a cosmopolitan feast of cafes and diverse nightlife, and up-and-coming Battambang charms with graceful French architecture and a thriving contemporary art scene.

Take a short boat trip west of Krong Preah to Koh Rong Island, and the sugar-coated beaches and azure waters welcome you. Discover the sandy coves in remote corners to snorkelling alongside diverse marine life among coral reefs, natural beauty flourishes throughout this little-explored island, both on land and in the surrounding waters.

Steeped in history and rich cultural roots, deep spiritual ties and a complex history, Cambodia gained independence in 1953 after 90 years of French colonial rule. Two decades later, it suffered horrific mass executions under Khmer Rouge. While Cambodia has moved on as a nation, the victims of its barbaric past are remembered by memorials, museums and in the memories of Cambodia's elder generations.

Cambodians have an unbreakable spirit and infectious optimism, they have prevailed with their smiles intact.
