Must-see locations

Cambodia: A Journey Between Majestic Temples and Lush Nature

Cambodia is still a country little known to tourists, but it has gradually opened up to visitors over the past few years following the end of the Khmer guerrilla and the easing of tensions stemming from thirty years of conflict. Historical sites with Cambodia's exceptional architectural richness, including the famous Angkor temples listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, have thus become accessible again. However, due to the relatively recent development of tourism, hotel infrastructures are still approximate, and transportation is not always very efficient outside of Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Sihanoukville... But in the end, you will mostly remember the magic of destinations such as Ratanakiri and Mondolkiri, the sunset at the East Mebon temple, or the stunning rice field landscapes during a hike. So many wonders that you can perfectly discover by organizing your tailor-made trip to Cambodia with a local pioneering agency in tourism, which will be able to establish a dream itinerary for you.

An Unforgettable Cultural Immersion

A trip to Cambodia will let you discover a country enriched by the contributions of two major civilizations: Indian and Chinese. Explore the temples built in an exceptional setting where the forest has reclaimed its rights.
