Heart of Cambodia

Itinerary

Days 1-2 Phnom Penh

Our Cambodian adventure begins in the capital. Pay respects to lives lost at the spine-chilling Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the infamous Killing Fields, before taking time to discover a more glorious era amid the treasures of the National Museum.

Days 3-4 Battambang

Crumbling French-colonial shopfronts along the riverfront lend a certain elegance to Battambang's facade. Take this chance to join locals at a karaoke joint, take a Cambodian cooking class or ride in an ingenious 'bamboo' train.

Days 5-7 Siem Reap/Angkor Wat

Rise early the following morning for sunrise over Angkor Wat and temple-hopping. The temples of Angkor are an amazing archaelogical site that is sure to captivate.

Day 8 Kompong Cham

Experience the serenity of small-town Cambodia in Kampong Cham, before exploring a rural river island by bicycle.

Days 9-10 Kampot

Once renowned for its pepper, riverside Kampot is a wonderful place to relax. Look for traces of French elegance in its streets, enjoy the delicate tunes of the Traditional Music School or try the stinky fruit of the durian tree.

Days 11-13 Sihanoukville

Settle in for some beachside bliss on Cambodia's southern coast. Catch a boat out to a nearby island to relax among swaying palms, white sands and blue waters.

Days 14-15 Phnom Penh

Go in search of shade and some silver jewellery at the Russian Market or see if the blue flag is flying outside the Royal Palace - it's a sign the king is in.
