Like other countries in South East Asia, Cambodia has superb ancient sights, friendly locals, pristine jungle scenery, long white beaches and colourful, bustling markets. Unlike other countries most areas are completely untouched by tourism and offer incredible experiences for the more adventurous traveller. We visit the uniquely beautiful temples of Angkor Wat, explore the city of Phnom Penh and have plenty of time to snorkel or relax on beautiful beaches. A true journey of discovery !

What to expect: This Adventurer style trip is a grassroots experience for independent minded travelers who are comfortable with itineraries that utilize public transport and basic twin share accommodations in small locally owned hotels, occasionally multi-share, or simply floor space in a jungle or village hut. This means expect to carry your own bags. Most meals, entrance fees and optional activities are not included so that you don't prepay what doesn't interest you. Overall you retain your independence while having basic transportation and accommodation needs taken care of.
