Culture Holidays in Cambodia

Cambodia Cultural Trips

Cambodia is a country shaped by tragedy following the ravages of the Khmer Rouge, and yet its people are some of the most friendly and hospitable you will find anywhere in the world. It’s the people who help make Cambodia such a joy to visit, and our Cambodia cultural tours will give you lots of opportunities to meet them. Another highlight of Cambodia is its delicious food. Much of it is based around rice and fish, and some of the best places to try it – and to mingle with the locals – are at the numerous food stalls found in every town and city.

There are plenty of historical and architectural wonders to behold, too, with Cambodia cultural trips taking in sights such as Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, as well as the amazing temples at Angkor. The world’s largest religious construction in stone, Angkor Wat and stands testament to the former power of the Khmer Empire. The amazing temples and statues are in a constant struggle to fend off encroachment by the surrounding jungle. The Ta Prohom temple exemplifies this with large trees embedding themselves in the stone foundations of the structure. The intricately carved towers and statues of the site provide photographers with endless photo opportunities. In Phnom Penh, visit the genocide museum and the ‘Killing Fields’ for moving and unforgettable experiences.

This trip is a wonderful blend of both city energy and the countryside life of Southeast Asia. We visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand on this trip. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City, we discovered the history and rich culture of Vietnam, including a home stay with a Vietnamese family who taught us how to make authentic local food. After, we moved on to the tranquil sights of Cambodia, including the UNESCO world heritage temple of Angkor Wat and a day on a lush tropical island. To round off the trip, we enjoyed the vibrant energy of Bangkok.

This was a good adventure through three countries, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Starting with Thailand, the first day’s cycling had a mix of temples to see as well as cycling but I felt that day 2 and 3 we were just cycling to get out of Thailand with not much to see and was a bit boring. Cambodia was amazing with not just the amazing Angkor complex, but also the more sombre sights of Phnom Penh, S-21 and the Killing Fields, where our local guide’s personal stories really made you think. Vietnam was different again, with much better scenery for cycling and a lovely stay in the Mekong Delta. Saigon, you are left to explore on your own. I visited the War Remnants museum and the Independence Palace, which both were an interesting visit. The local teams who organised the cycling, were well organised with a special shout out to the Vietnam team, though their roads were the bumpiest.
