Cambodia off the Beaten Track
14 days from £6,800 for 2024 per person
This grand tour explores all four corners of Cambodia. Head off the beaten track and discover the all differing landscapes this stunning country has to offer.
Starting with a stay in the buzzing capital of Phnom Penh, visit the sparkling Royal Palace, Russian Market and relics of the Khmer Rouge era. Travel north west to the colonial city of Battambang, and discover it's beautiful mountain pagodas, before exploring the magnificent 'lost city' of the Khmers in Siem Reap. Discover colossal stone faces staring impassively across stone-built temples devoted to a long-forgotten empire, now trailed by jungle creepers and pierced by the strangling roots of vast forest trees. Next you will travel on to the eastern little-visited towns of Kampong Thom and Kratie for a chance to catch a glimpse of the rare Irrawaddy Dolphin, before ending the journey with a stay in Mondulkiri, where one can experience a slower pace of rural life.

AccommodationI can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
