Unspoilt Coast
After sightseeing in Phnom Penh, we head south to the charming riverside town of Kampot where we take a journey into the surrounding picturesque countryside in a peculiar form of local transport known as a 'remorque'. Continuing along the coast to Sihanoukville, we take a boat trip through offshore islands enjoying unspoilt beaches and tropical waters.

Mekong, Villages & Temples
Travelling back to Phnom Penh, we continue our adventure and head for Kratie, home to some of the last Irrawady freshwater dolphins in Southeast Asia. We stop at Kompong Cham for a chance to explore by bicycles, then drive on to Kompong Thom passing many villages along the way. We also visit the ancient Chenla capital of Sambor Prei Kuk: over a hundred temples dedicated to Shiva lie hidden in the jungle, at this tranquil and rarely visited 7th century site.

Jungle Temples
Our tour would not be complete without a visit to the breathtaking temples of the Angkorian Kings. Constructed over a period of some 600 years, hundreds are scattered through a vast area of the Cambodian jungle. Our exploration includes the main highlights - Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom and Angkor Thom, as well as a number of lesser known and newly opened ones, such as Banteay Srei.
