You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself. – Buddha
The charm of the Kingdom of Cambodia casts a spell on travellers, there’s something magic about this incredible land where ancient and modern worlds meet to create an authentic adventure. The mighty Khmer empire, which in its heyday ruled much of what is now Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, with a genius and sublime touch has shaped a fertile land and its genuinely smiling people, left remains at the fabled temples of Angkor, an unrivalled archaeological site imposing in scale and grandeur in Southeast Asia.
Chaotic yet charismatic capital Phnom Penh is a city with sumptuous riverside setting, an alive cultural and museum scene as well as a world-class winning dining. The countryside offers a glimpse into rural life and landscapes of lush rice paddies, the southern coast has dreamlike tropical islands and white beaches, and the inland vast tropical wilderness provides a home to a rich wildlife for ecotourism adventures. The puissant Mekong River cuts through the country, a private cruise on its waters offers the chance to see within lush shores the simple life of quiet fish villages and with some luck spot some of the region’s last remaining freshwater dolphins.
