Cambodia’s majestic Khmer temples are one of the most alluring sights in all of Asia. Built over a thousand years ago, Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples are a symphony of engineering and sculpture, with Khmer history writ large across the bas-reliefs.

Cambodia is home to one of the world’s most impressive architectural marvels - the Angkor Wat. Located near Siem Reap, the Angkor temple complex is comprised of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon, Banteay Srei and countless other structures built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Angkor empire was at its peak.

The size, beauty & scope of Angkor are simply breathtaking, as is the sunrise over the temples. A minimum of three days is suggested for those interested in an in-depth exploration of the Angkor complex.
Finally, the boat ride on the Tonle Sap lake is amazing for the eco-system it supports and for the floating villages we’ll encounter.

One of the highlights for most visitors to Laos is the former royal capital of Luang Prabang in the mountains of the north. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, Luang Prabang had over 65 vats in the 18th century, 30 of which still survive intact today. There is little traffic on the streets of Luang Prabang and monks in orange robes carrying black umbrellas to shade themselves from the sun are a familiar sight.
