In Cambodia, ancient temples there are many, rivaled only by the country’s natural beauty, making the Southeast Asian nation a ripe picking ground for rich adventures and rare experiences.
Over a millennium after Angkor put the Khmer Empire on the world map, the city – now a UNESCO Heritage-listed archaeological site – still draws visitors by the millions to witness the greatness of an ancient civilization shining proudly through the ruins. It is definitely not the only temple complex of note in the country. Cambodia is blessed with a plethora of breathtaking shrines, from those bustling with the devout city-dwellers making their offerings of bananas and jasmine flowers, to jungle-clad ruins, forgotten in time.

Besides Siem Reap – the gateway to Angkor Wat – the only other destination to boast an international airport, Phnom Penh, might not be the obvious traveler’s choice, especially with competition from Sihanoukville’s sandy shores and gorgeous offshore islands to explore, but the capital city is interesting in its own right. Wherever you go, and whether you encounter them on the city streets or village lanes, the Cambodian people are some of the warmest souls you’ll ever meet.
