Cambodia: The Road Less Traveled


Custom Travel | 15 Days
  • Delve into the country’s spellbinding aquatic landscapes: the storied Mekong River and Tonle Sap and the meandering rivers near the Gulf of Thailand.
  • Witness an array of conservation programs in action, from elephant rehabilitation and anti-poaching patrols to rainforest protection.
  • Bed down in one-of-a-kind properties: a floating lodge amid mangroves, relaxing riverside villas, and a tented camp in the biodiverse Cardamom mountains.
  • Amid faded colonial architecture, charmingly serene countryside, and Angkor’s transfixing temples, understand why Cambodia remains an unforgettable destination.

This intimate look at the little-known regions of Cambodia begins in the country’s charismatic capital, Phnom Penh. From there you journey south through the quiet countryside to the Gulf of Thailand, the Cardamom Forest protected area, and the great complex of temples at Angkor, one of humanity’s greatest architectural achievements.

Along the way, you’ll have options to hike, kayak, and boat among magnificent waterfalls, mangroves, and birdlife, and you’ll witness vital conservation efforts that protect this compelling, biodiversity hotspot. But this sample Cambodia travel itinerary is just a suggestion. The adventure is yours to design.

Trip Overview


We have sampled the local cuisine, including noodle soups for breakfast, fresh crab in Kep, and chicken bones in garlic and red pepper—delicious! Today we kayaked to a mountain waterfall, climbed to its top, and jumped in. After our swim, we picnicked on smoked salmon and fresh mangos overlooking the cascade, feeling like we were dreaming, pinching ourselves to realize we really were in Cambodia.
