Sabbaticals & Experiential Holidays in Cambodia
Cambodia is a country full of optimism. Tourist numbers are growing but travel here is still a fascinating adventure. The incomparable Angkor Wat is the star attraction, a sprawling UNESCO site of 12th century temple complexes, which date back to the Khmer Empire. You’ll always remember sunrise (or sunset) here, and marvelling at Ta Prohm, engulfed by giant trees, as well as the sheer scale of the serene Bayon faces. But Cambodia is also becoming known for its idyllic – and often empty – beaches and the flooded forests and floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake. Phnom Penh is a huge draw too, with its Art-Deco market, glittering royal palace and excellent though harrowing Khmer Rouge museums. Authentic traditional life is all around, and 85% of the landscapes are rural – beautifully lush in the rainy season. This is a country for slow travel; the more you immerse yourself in the culture and beauty of this extraordinary place, the more rewarding your trip will be.
