The bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge is a painful, but unavoidable part of Cambodia's recent history. You'll visit the Tuol Sleng Prison Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, which can be confronting and emotional. Please let your leader know if you do not want to visit these sights.
We visit a number of temples on this trip, which requires a certain level of modesty. Please bring clothes that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
It’s important to prepare for hot sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening. Layers are the best way to tackle this disparity in weather.

Our Cambodia & Vietnam Discovery trips score an average of 4.67 out of 5 based on 30 reviews in the last year.
A great trip for those who do not have a lot of time but want to see a lot. It is very fast paced but wonderful. Do not forget a hat, sun cream, and bug spray. It is a lot of airplanes but way better than a bus or a train because you have more time in each place. It is a perfect snapshot of both Cambodia and Vietnam.
