About this journey

The story behind the route

On this 14-day tour discover what Cambodia has to offer beyond its spectacular temples. We start the journey in Siem Reap with a visit to the magnificent Angkor Wat and its overwhelming collection of temples. Scattered throughout a huge area of forest, they comprise one of the world’s greatest man-made wonders. Travel to Battambang and explore the rural side of Cambodia before taking an exciting journey through the Cardamom mountains, where we spend two nights in the Cambodian jungle. Explore local villages and relax in the coastal province of Kep before ending the tour in Phnom Penh, where we learn about the country’s dark history, as well as experiencing the lighter side of the city; it’s bustling nightlife.

Your route

Monk Water Blessing Ceremony at a Buddhist Pagoda
A visit to a Buddhist pagoda for a traditional monk water blessing ceremony believed to cleanse bad spirits and bring good luck. An offering of a Sadok — a traditional gift of sugar, milk, and tea among other items — is provided for the monk. This sets the spiritual tone before exploring the temples of Angkor.
Angkor Wat and Ta Phrom by Bicycle and Dragon Boat
After visiting the jungle temple of Ta Phrom and the main temples of Angkor Wat, the afternoon is spent exploring Angkor by bicycle. The route passes the King's residence, Royal Gardens, the Siem Reap River, local villages, rice fields, and historic family parcels, concluding at twilight with a Dragon Boat ride on the moat of Angkor Thom with local delicacies on board.
Phnom Kulen National Park and Banteay Srei
A drive through the countryside to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Phnom Kulen, where the itinerary includes the large Buddha statue at Preah Ang Thom, the lava-covered ruined temple of the Terrace of Sdach Kum Ling, and a swim in the waterfall. The afternoon continues to Banteay Srei — the "Citadel of Women" — which houses some of the finest examples of classical Khmer bas-relief.
Bamboo Train and Killing Caves at Battambang
A remok ride of about 5km leads to the Bamboo Train, a unique contraption running on tracks originally built by the French to transport goods. The route passes villages with activities such as making bamboo sticky rice, fish paste, rice paper, and banana paper, before an afternoon visit to the Killing Caves at Phnom Sampeou — a Khmer Rouge memorial with a hilltop temple offering commanding views over the Cambodian countryside.
Wildlife Patrol and Kayaking in the Cardamom Mountains
Wildlife Alliance Rangers lead a half-day patrol through dense forest along abandoned poaching and logging trails, stopping at a Ranger Station where confiscated snares, traps, and improvised hunting rifles are displayed. The afternoon is spent kayaking along the Prek Tachan river back to camp, with swimming and a local Khmer lunch also included during the day.
Cycling Through Kampot and the Elephant Mountains
A bicycle ride from Kep takes in rice fields, durian and rambutan orchards, and the backdrop of the Elephant Mountains. The route stops at local villages to meet residents, with a guide available to help translate, and ends at the rapids on the Kampot River for a swim and local picnic lunch.

Voices from the road

What travellers say about us

Independently verified reviews from travellers who joined Cambodia – To the Temples and Beyond. Rated 4.9 Excellent on AITO by 250+ reviewers.

“This was our first tailor-made trip with Undiscovered Destinations, to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. All of our requests were accommodated and we had a fantastic time.”

Cambodia

“An amazing trip! We had the most amazing holiday — over two weeks we had a taste of the cities, the culture, the mountains, a safari, and time at the beach. Our driver/guide made the whole trip very relaxing, and we were welcomed warmly by everyone we met, enjoying fabulous food and drink along the way. Undiscovered Destinations planned a really amazing itinerary for us with great hotels, a fabulous guide/driver, and interesting places to visit — they took great care to ensure we had an excellent holiday. We look forward to booking another holiday with them in the future. Thank you, Mark!”

Anna

“This adventure was always going to be very full-on, which is how we like our trips. I didn't count on getting bronchitis and ending up in hospital, however. The itinerary was quickly amended to avoid high-altitude destinations as much as possible while still making sure we had a chance to enjoy interesting experiences. While obviously sad to have missed some of the original sites, the revised itinerary was the only sensible option under the circumstances. I was extremely impressed with how Undiscovered Destinations and their local team handled the situation — taking the stress out of it, smoothing the way, rearranging the itinerary and booking new hotels, translating for me with the medical staff, and making sure I always had transport, medicines and anything else I needed. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept in touch with me, each other, and the insurance company throughout. I can't recommend them enough!”

Grete

“My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Undiscovered Destinations. We had a different guide at each stop, and all of them were friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. The local people were welcoming, and we always felt safe and comfortable. The beaches were spectacularly beautiful and empty of people, with warm, clear water, and each stop had its own character — some we loved for their unspoiled scenery, others for their history and the warmth of the welcome. We took the opportunity to snorkel on one of the most pristine reefs we've experienced, swimming with sea turtles and enormous manta rays that came right up to us out of curiosity. A wonderful destination for nature lovers.”

Frank

“Excellent. Action packed. Our local agent was excellent, and a good choice by Undiscovered Destinations. Because there were only two of us on the holiday, we had different guides at each stop, each one making sure we were handed over safely. All manner of transport was used, and we appreciated the different guiding strategies, the wealth of information given, the high level of English, and the genuine wish to show off their country at its best. Excellent.”

Cathy

“Far exceeding my expectations, this was one of the best trips I've ever done. A beautiful destination, with interesting history, lively ceremonies, lovely people and — surprisingly, for somewhere that sees so few tourists — absolutely no hassle on the streets. Excellent service from start to finish, with a first-class tour leader.”

Lynn

“We had a two-week trip with Undiscovered Destinations, flying in for two days first to break up the journey. It was a great trip, because we managed to see so much more than just the capital cities. This was the fourth trip we've taken with Undiscovered Destinations, and each one has been wonderful. Our guides were lovely — very professional and helpful. We rate UD very highly.”

Andy

“We had a fabulous trip with an excellent local guide, who took great care of us and enthusiastically shared his knowledge of both ancient and recent history, with lots of fascinating personal stories of his own life. We highly recommend this trip — Undiscovered Destinations were great to work with, and we hope to use them again.”

Jennie

“Everything was great — we got to witness a wonderful variety of wildlife, and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and the hospitality of the people. A fabulous trip from start to finish.”

Debbie

“Excellent all-round trip. Drivers were conscientious and careful, accommodation was better than expected, and the scenery was stunning throughout.”
