Cambodia: Angkor Wat, Koh Rong & The Cardamom Mountains

Introduction

Cambodia reveals itself slowly — and this trip lets it. On this 9-day adventure, watch Angkor Wat emerge at dawn before a village cooking class led by female tuk-tuk drivers puts local life front and centre. Trek and paddle through the Cardamom Mountains, then trade the jungle for Koh Rong's remote beaches and starlit barbecues on the shore.
