Cambodia Destination
Cambodia is a country of unique charm and cultural heritage known across the globe for its incredible natural beauty, breath-taking temples, fertile rice fields, and rich and fascinating history. But with so much to see and do outside of Angkor, a vacation to Cambodia can be a lot more than just temples. With a long coastline and rugged countryside, the natural delights of Cambodia are every bit as appealing as those of its neighbors, from jungle treks to beach holidays. Cambodian people are also remarkable, offering a unique warmth and friendliness that is even more special considering their recent dark history.
Phnom Penh, the vibrant capital of Cambodia is situated at the confluence of three rivers, the mighty Mekong, the Bassac and the great Tonle Sap. Phnom Penh still maintains considerable charm and tranquility with French colonial mansions and tree-lined boulevards amidst monumental Angkorian architecture.
Deep in the forests of Cambodia’s Siem Reap province, the elegant spires of an ancient stone city soar skyward above the sprawling complex of Angkor Archaeological Park. By its enormous scale and amazing architecture, Angkor Complex is without a doubt one of the world´s most spectacular sites. The proximity of the Angkorian ruins turned Siem Reap into a boomtown in less than half a decade. Huge, expensive hotels have sprung up everywhere and budget hotels have mushroomed. Despite the massive shift in its economic fortunes, Siem Reap remains a safe, friendly and pleasant town.
A trip to this heart-shaped country is something special, and Auroratravel can easily design tailor made tours together with other countries in the region including Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.
