Cambodia is the temple capital of Asia. The kingdom is littered with the lavish legacy of the godkings. Ciaotravel introduce you from majestic mountain-top temples to forbidding and forgotten Angkorian temples

Phnom Penh: the name can’t help but conjure up an image of the exotic. The glimmering spires of the royal palace, the fluttering saffron of the monks’ robes, and the luscious location on the banks of the mighty Mekong, this is one of Asia’s undiscovered gems.

Angkor is a place to be savoured, not rushed, and this is the base to plan your adventures.

Back in the 1960s, Siem Reap was the place to be in Southeast Asia and saw a steady stream of the rich and famous. After 3 decades of slumber, it’s well and truly back and one of the most popular destinations on the planet right now. The life-support system for the temples of Angkor, Cambodia’s eighth wonder of the world, Siem Reap was always designated for great things.

A journey to Cambodia offers a window on the soul of Southeast Asia. The magnificent temples of Angkor are unrivalled, and beyond the rich legacy of the ancient Khmer empire. It’s not the most sophisticated destination in the world (though for many this makes it all the more charming), so be sure to pack some patience and humour

Angkor is the symbol of the nation, drawing pilgrims from across the globe. Peace has come to this beautiful yet blighted land after three decades of war, and the Cambodian people have opened their arms to the world. A journey here remains an adventure as much as a holiday
