Tours
Tourism in Cambodia
Tourism is one of the main industries in Cambodia and strong efforts are being made to promote the country as a unique destination, rich in diversity with a fascinating cultural heritage.
Opportunities are now available to discover the deepest heart of the Kingdom, travelling in little known areas and understanding more about the Angkor civilization.
Angkor Wat is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction in the country. However, Siem Reap and the surrounding areas have a lot more to offer than just the Angkor Temples. Visitors with a little more time on their hands, will have the opportunity to visit the local markets, traditional performances, enjoy the serenity of village life, visit the floating villages and maybe even experience a sunrise at Tonle Sap Lake where the fishing communities already will be busy preparing today's catch.
…and if you still haven't had enough of visiting temples, there are numerous temples and pagodas easily ahccessible from Siem Reap. Soria Moria is therefore a perfect starting point for a leisurely day trip or, for the more adventurous, a two- or three day expedition with an experienced expedition leader.
