Why Visit Cambodia?
Cambodia is most famous for its sublime Angkor Wat temple complex, built by the Khmers as an earthly representation of Mount Meru, the home of the Hindu faith’s ancient gods. While the temples of Angkor may be the biggest draw, Cambodia has so much more, a tropical inland wilderness, a pristine stretch of southern coast, scattered with idyllic tropical islands and a lively up-and coming capital, Phnom Penh. This really is a place to visit if you are a history enthusiast or a solo traveller seeking adventure!
