Holiday in Cambodia | Hidden Temples and Jungle Adventures

Warm Holidays in Cambodia

Holidays in Cambodia resumed in the early 1990s, when the Southeast Asian destination reopened its borders to tourists. An adventure here means experiencing its captivating cultural heritage, interacting with welcoming locals and admiring the many spectacular natural wonders it offers. Phnom Penh, the bustling capital of the nation, is home to plenty of excellent restaurants, lively outdoor markets and a tumultuous nightlife. However, the most popular destinations in Cambodia are outside the capital. Among the tourists' favorites are: the quiet French-influenced city of Kampot, which boasts a charming promenade dotted with gorgeous French villas and picturesque riverside cafes; the impressive waterfalls of the lush jungle-covered Cardamon Mountains; and, of course, the ancient temple complex Angkor Wat, the largest and perhaps the most impressive religious structure in the world. Cambodia caters to all travelers' tastes, whether they're looking for jungle adventures, gorgeous golden sand beaches, luxury resorts or delicious exotic cuisine, Cambodia truly has it all.
