Cambodia is a land of beautiful temples, wild jungle and captivating countryside. Tourists pour into the wonderful capital Phnom Penh and marvel at the jungle temples of Angkor. You can expect to enjoy their holiday here in luxurious hotels and restaurants with traditional markets and ramshackle side streets in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. You should also take some time out to explore the hill tribes around Banlung, the colonial architecture of Battambang and the sandy beaches of Sihanoukville. If you are a foodie, you can look forward to taste some deep fried spiders and cockroaches which have now become specialty delicacies in the northern Cambodia.

Angkor Wat Tour

Angkor Wat, the crowning masterpiece of Khmer architecture, is the national symbol and the most significant tourist spot of Cambodia. Angkor is sure to impress you both by its sheer scale and wonderfully proportioned layout, as well as the delicate artistry of its carvings. You should also see the much photographed Ta Prohm, one of the most popular attractions of Angkor. This place is easily recognizable for the roots of the massive trees growing through the building. They give an idea about how the temples looked before they were reclaimed from the jungle. Angkor Wat is stunning at any time of the day, but at sunrise and sunset the place looks especially beautiful.

Phnom Penh Tour

Phnom Penh is an enchanting, magnificent and fascinating city. Graceful tree-lined boulevards and riverfront promenades here will remind you of the bygone eras. You can start your tour at Wat Phnom, the birthplace of the capital. Visit the Royal Palace and explore the splendor of Cambodia’s royal heritage. This is still the official residence of King Norodom Sihamoni. Adjacent to the Palace is the Silver Pagoda which is also known as the “Pagoda of the Emerald Buddha”. You should also visit the National Museum, a place where you will find a comprehensive collection of Khmer art. You can experience a more recent tragic past of the country at the Tuol Sleng Museum or the “Museum of Genocide”. In order to explore the modern-day Cambodia, you must visit the Central Market, one of two great markets in Phnom Penh located in a distinctive domed Art Deco building. The other one is the sprawling Russian Market, a place full of silks, crafts and jewelry shops to modern electronic gadgets.

Everybody knows Angkor and Phnom Penh. They are legendary, and for good reason. But your Cambodia tour must not end there. A broad range of activities and several other marvels scattered across the country enable the visitors to pull back the curtain and discover the depth of the country’s true beauty. Cambodia’s Buddhist temples like the Preah Vihear are worth visit. Located in the Dangrek Mountains, the place is home to various festivals; especially during the Cambodian New Year. You can head to the southern part of the country for inexplicably less-crowded beaches. Sail along the Mekong River that snakes through the heart of the country. The banks of this river are the true showcase for Cambodian life.
