Striking Buddha faces at the ethereal Bayon Temple, Angkor
A fabulous journey through the extraordinarily friendly country of Cambodia and to some of it’s lesser visited regions. We witness the great legacy of the Khmer civilisation with the splendour and awesome collection of temples at Angkor, a wonderful climax to an the tour. We start in Phnom Penh, the lively capital with many French colonial buildings, busy markets, art galleries, temples and museums. In Kampong Thom we visit a stunning rarely visited pre-Ankorian temple plus traditional villages and markets as we journey north into the Preah Vihear province. We also take a boat trip on the Tonlé Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and officially designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. We include the colonial era architecture and riverside setting of laid-back Battambang
