Cambodia
A unspoilt country side, welcoming people and cultural magnificence with iconic sights such as the temples of the ‘Lost City’ of Angkor, a perfect holidays to Cambodia.
Cambodia’s ongoing recovery has allowed travellers to now be able to enjoy many of the diverse aspects of this country, be it the charms of the French-era capital city Phnom Penh, gateway to Angkor, Siem Reap or a poignant visit to the tragic horrors of the Killing Fields or sleepy riverside locations via boat.
Infrastructure is basic, however travellers are rewarded with beautiful scenery, lush landscapes of green forests and jungles, banana plantations, agricultural fields and mighty rivers. It is not a place of fast and efficient transport or luxurious hotels and resort living however the peaceful, primarily rural existence of most of the population is a tranquil setting and offers opportunity of a time for reflection for many.
