"It was one of our favourite trips ever. Cambodia delivered adventure, glorious islands with white sandy beaches, forests and lovely people. Our guide in Siem Reap (Chan) was in our top 5 in the world. How brilliant to arrive at our last hotel and find a surprise bottle of chilled sauvignon and a note from Frances and Natia. We love the sustainability at your core. The Concierge, Alex, was the best on-the-ground service we have ever received. Not only did she establish WhatsApp contact before we left, but she was 'always ready to help'. We were recommending your company to friends before we even left! You've created something brilliant, Tom, and retained the personal touch."

"Our trip was brilliant! Having never been, we wanted to get a feel for Cambodia in terms of culture, history, geography, religion and people. Two and a bit weeks is a short time to get that, but our trip delivered this and more. We really liked the Concierge service. Helped greatly in Siem Reap when changing rooms, and fab recommendations when requested."

"Firstly we had a great holiday. Thank you for organising everything at such last minute. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip from start to finish and it all worked very smoothly (thanks!). Pace was really good too - not too hurried but never felt we were killing time."

Who are the Cardomom Mountains best for?

For nature and wildlife lovers, the Cardamom Mountains are a seriously cool spot for a green getaway. As one of the largest and still mostly unexplored forests in Southeast Asia, the mountains are a treasure trove of unique species of flora and fauna, many still undocumented by science. While trekking through the wilds, keep your eyes peeled for all manner of mammals - including rare species such as the clouded leopard, Malayan sun bear and Indochinese tiger - as well as some 450 bird species.

While tourism is still relatively new to the Cardamom Mountains, we work with a handful of tented camps that offer a little slice of paradise in the wilderness. After a day trekking with knowledgeable local guides, return to camp for a delicious evening meal and nightcap watching the setting sun before cosying up in your tent to fall asleep to the sounds of rustling trees and far-off animal calls.
