Rolling green highlands, waterfalls and elephant sanctuaries in Cambodia's wild east.
Cambodia is a country of extraordinary contrasts — ancient temples rising out of the jungle, beaches that few travellers have heard of, and a cuisine that surprises at every turn.
Start early. The light is softest in the first hours after sunrise, the crowds are thin, and the heat is forgiving. Whether you're climbing a temple staircase or wandering a morning market, the day belongs to those who set out before it.
Take your time with the food. From fragrant herbs and spices to unique cooking techniques, Cambodian food offers a delectable fusion of flavours that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.
And talk to people. Cambodians are among the warmest hosts you'll meet anywhere, and the best recommendations rarely come from a guidebook — they come from the merchant who waves you over, the tuk-tuk driver who knows a shortcut, the family who insists you try one more dish.
