Things to do in Cambodia
Your Cambodia Bucket List
Angkor Wat Temples
Cambodia is home to the incredible UNESCO world heritage site Angkor which contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire. Dating back to the 12th century, the site includes the most famous temple, Angkor Wat, an architectural masterpiece and the largest religious monument in the world.
There’s no better time to experience Angkor Wat than at sunrise, with the iconic temple silhouetted against a fiery sky. Angkor Wat is a must-see when in Cambodia and we include it as a weekend excursion on most of our Cambodia programs.

Siem Reap
Cambodia’s capital is primarily known as the gateway to the Angkor Wat Temples, but the city itself has a lot more to offer. More geared up for tourists than Battambang, you’ll find a wealth of tours, from cycle trips around the lush countryside to tours of the city’s food markets. You can also cruise the markets in central Siem Reap to barter for traditional crafts.

Kampot and Kep
Kampot is a sleepy town featuring charmingly dilapidated French colonial architecture set on the Kompong Bay River. The area is known for pepper farming, boutique hotels and riverfront relaxation.
