Cambodia
Cambodia's majestic Khmer temples are one of the most alluring sights in all of Asia. Built over a thousand years ago, Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples are a symphony of engineering and sculpture, with Khmer history writ large across the bas-reliefs. For centuries, Angkor's towers and elaborately decorated cloisters were hidden from most of the world, slowly engulfed by the jungle. Now, Cambodia's artistic treasures can be admired by visitors; it is an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the splendor of Asia's past, present, and future. Today, the country is peaceful and thriving, with the nation's arts at the forefront of the cultural revival. All of our Cambodia tours feature private touring of the Angkor temple complex and unique special-interest activities around Siem Reap, the adjacent town, such as visits to local non-profit organizations, upscale shopping, visits to village and schools, cooking classes, bicycling and more. Travelers with more time should consider visiting Phnom Penh, a riverfront city that’s home to the Royal Palace, French colonial-style architecture, the National Museum, a Baccarat Buddha, and markets stocked with krama (scarves) and other traditional crafts.
