Cambodia is home to one of the world's most spectacular historical sites - Angkor, a 12th century city built by the sophisticated Khmer civilization.This country bordered by Lao PDR (Laos) Thailand and Vietnam offers an amazing historical and cultural experience, warm friendly people and an untamed wild landscape.

Years of turbulence have now given way to peace and an emerging tourist industry based around the country's impressive heritage. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a historical treasure house, but Cambodia also has a wild side. Stunning mountain scenery and ethnic hill tribes make Cambodia's untamed north east a perfect place to see Asia's wildlife.

The Angkor temple complex near Siem Reap is simply stunning, covering an area of several hundred miles. While many of the main temples are located within a 10 mile radius, you should allocate at least 3 days to explore the immediate area around the main temples at Angkor Wat. Developing fast, it’s a good time to visit now.

Forget the conventional route, go biking or take a helicopter ride around Angkor. Cruise on the Mekong from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap or elephant trekking.
