4 days / 3 nights |

On this 4 day excursion into Cambodia we invite you to explore the magnificent ancient ruins of Angkor and the charms of the capital Phnom Penh, regarded by many as the most beautiful of all the French-built cities in Indochina. Highlights include Angkor Wat, the world?s largest ceremonial structure with its dazzling array of beautiful bas-reliefs and ornate carvings.
Phnom Penh was a bustling commercial hub during French colonial times. Its rich historical past can be traced to the Khmer and French influence evident in the ornate Khmer-style temples and the grand colonial buildings and villas.

Wat Phnom
The wat itself is nothing special but it's worth a trip to see the life around it and the view from the phnom (hill). Elephants available at the base for rides.
Royal Palace
Unfortunately the royal residence, set back from the riverfront, is closed to visitors but is still visible from the outside however, not worth seeing, located as it is between the Silver Pagoda and National Museum.
Tuol Sleng Museum
The museum is a former high school which became a Khmer Rouge prison and torture chamber during its reign of terror. The prison cells the hundreds of photographs of people killed in the prison the map of Cambodia made of human skulls the paintings detailing methods of torture used in the prison are horrifying—only seven out of more than 30 000 inmates survived. But part of what makes a visit there such an extraordinary emotional experience is that the guides have themselves had first-hand exposure to the excesses of the Khmer Rouge and they share their stories with visitors. Similarly the Killing Fields of Choeung Eik—one of the most chilling sites in the world—can also be visited. Most of the prisoners of Tuol Sleng were buried there in mass graves. A glass stupa contains 8 500 skulls that were unearthed before excavations were halted and fragments of bone teeth and clothing still litter the area.
Visitors should be cautioned as to the environment and feel of this "museum". This is not Cambodia, just a rough point in time so one should not think this is what the country is about. If you choose to visit this site, consider it on the first day as it will depress you.

Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, was a bustling commercial hub during French colonial days and today has re-established itself as the political and financial center of the country.

The most obvious examples of this include the National Museum and the Silver Pagoda which you will visit in the first part of this tour.
