Cambodia

Cambodia is sandwiched between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in the very heart of South-East Asia, and ideally explored in combination with some of its neighbours. Still a predominantly rural country thanks in part to the Khmer Rouge’s tragically misjudged implementation of agrarian communism in the 1970s, Cambodia is a country emerging from its communist chrysalis and offering a genuinely warm welcome.

The country’s geography is dominated by the Mekong River and jungle-clad slopes, some of which are still home to remote hill-tribes. After several recent research trips Original Travel can arrange for trips far from the beaten track with the most knowledgeable local guides. Of course no visit to Cambodia would be complete without a visit to the jewel in the country’s tourist crown – Angkor Wat. While this is one of the finest ancient sites anywhere in the world that status brings with it hordes of tourists, and we have spent the past couple of years working out itineraries designed to avoid the crowds wherever and whenever possible.

Original Travel consultants have also visited all the best places to stay in neighbouring Siem Reap, so we can advice on the right property for your requirements be that an Aman or something a little less swanky.
