Cambodia Holiday Packages

The temples of Angkor at their best in the early light, the stilt villages of the Tonle Sap, and a capital that holds its recent history in plain sight.

Angkor and beyond

Two cities, and the empire between them

Siem Reap is the base for Angkor: three days is enough to see the great temples properly without walking yourself into the ground. Phnom Penh is quieter and harder, holding both the Royal Palace and the memorials at Toul Sleng and Choeung Ek. Our longer itinerary joins the two.

Things to do

What these itineraries include

Angkor Wat

The largest religious monument in the world, and hundreds of metres of fine bas-relief carving.

Ta Prohm

The temple left to the forest, its walls held and split by silk-cotton and fig roots.

The Bayon

The serene stone faces of King Jayavarman VII, looking out in four directions from every tower.

Angkor Thom

The Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King along the royal esplanade.

Banteay Srei

The finest carving at Angkor, cut deep into rose-red sandstone.

Tonle Sap

A boat through the floating villages and stilt houses of Kampong Phluk.

West Baray Sunset

The evening over the old reservoir, with snacks and a local beer.

Koh Dach by Tuk-Tuk

A Mekong island of fruit plantations and village life, a short boat ride from Phnom Penh.

Planning a trip to Cambodia

Angkor is bigger than most people expect. The temple complex covers some 400 square kilometres, and the three headline sites — Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom with the Bayon, and Ta Prohm — sit far enough apart that a vehicle and a guide make the difference between a full day and a frustrating one. Our three-day Siem Reap itinerary covers those plus Banteay Srei and the Tonle Sap; the six-day version adds Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh asks something different of a visitor. The Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda are genuinely beautiful, and the National Museum holds the best Khmer sculpture anywhere. But the city also holds Toul Sleng and the Choeung Ek memorial, and most itineraries include both. They are difficult, and they are the reason the country's recent history makes sense.

Every package is private, with an English-speaking guide and air-conditioned transfers, and is quoted on request. A Cambodian visa is required for most travellers and is not included in the package price. If you want to pair the temples with Ha Long Bay and Hoi An, our eight-day Vietnam and Cambodia itinerary combines the two countries.
