One of the most breathtaking sites a traveller to Cambodia will experience are the temples of Angkor. Dating back from 802AD-1432, these temples are regarded as the heart and soul of Cambodia; they are an architectural feat, as well as a symbol of apparent spiritual devotion. Many temples have been well preserved, seemingly untouched by time, whereas others have been swallowed by the jungle that surrounds them.
Many visitors may never intend to go beyond these magnificent temples, however, they are soon captivated by other parts of this charismatic and welcoming country. Cambodia is blessed with unspoilt beaches, pristine forests and beautiful colonial cities like Phnom Penh, Battambang and Kep. It is also the gentle, polite and friendly nature of the people who make Cambodia such a memorable destination.

SIEM REAP
This provincial capital is an energetic tourist destination due to its proximity to the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor, the spiritual and cultural heart of Cambodia, where the enchanting temples of Angkor lie.
BATTAMBANG
Situated in a rich and fertile plain, Cambodia’s second largest city has the Stung Sangker River flowing through its colonial town centre. The region also has numerous Angkorian sites.
PHNOM PENH
Located on the banks of the Mekong River, the capital Phnom Penh is the commercial and political hub of Cambodia. This city offers a mix of traditional Khmer and French colonial influenced architecture with a past impacted by war and revolution.
