Itinerary

Days 1-2 Phnom Penh

Our journey to the heart of Cambodia begins in the capital. Pay respect to lives lost with a visit to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and to the Choeung Ek Killing Fields. Take time to immerse yourself in a more glorious era among the Khmer treasures at the National Museum.

Days 3-4 Battambang

The French-colonial shop houses strung out along the riverfront lend a certain elegance to Battambang's facade. There is the option to explore the surrounding countryside, ride on the town's 'bamboo' train, or take a cooking class.

Days 5-7 Siem Reap

Join the locals for a taste of the 'real' Cambodia and try some fried spiders on the way to Siem Reap, our base for visits to the magnificent temples of Angkor. Rise early for sunrise at Angkor Wat and spend a day exploring the temples, including the mysterious Bayon.

Day 8 Kompong Cham

The gateway to the north-east is a wonderful place for a Mekong boat ride.

Day 9 Kampot

Famous for its pepper, laid-back Kampot is the ideal place to enjoy a river sunset.

Day 10 Bokor Hill Station

We ascend to Bokor National Park through stunning highland scenery. Wander through the ruins of this former French hill station and catch glorious glimpses of Cambodia's coastline in the distance.

Days 11-13 Sihanoukville

With its beautiful beaches, coral-ringed offshore islands and bounty of fresh seafood, Sihanoukville is a great place to relax for a few days.

Days 14-15 Phnom Penh

Go in search of some shade and silver jewelery at the Russian Market or keep an eye out for the blue flag flying at the Royal Palace - it means the king is at home.
