Why you'll love this trip
  • The trip may be quick, but it is packed full of experiences that will give you great insight into Cambodia in a short amount of time

  • Watch the sun rising over Angkor Wat as it did over 800 years ago with your leader. Wander through the amazing ancient temples on a guided tour and with a three-day Angkor pass to cover your whole time in Siem Reap, you can explore this incredible temple complex as much and as often as you like
  • Discover the temple ruins at Sambor Prei Kuk and enjoy a local village homestay to experience everyday life in rural Cambodia.
  • Learn the confronting yet important history of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in Phnom Penh

Is this trip right for you?
  • You will visit a number of temples on this trip, and this requires a level of modesty. Be sure to bring clothes that cover the arms and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.You will visit a number of temples on this trip, and this requires a level of modesty.

A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.shared at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are confronting and many travellers will find them upsetting. This is an important part of Cambodia’s recent history that we feel is important for travellers to know. If you would prefer not to join these activities your leader can recommend some optional alternatives
  • There are some long travel days by both private and public transport (up to 10 hours on the road), including the day that we cross from Thailand to Cambodia. Your leader and local guides will assist with the border crossings, but plenty of patience is advised
  • You'll be spending a night with a local family on this trip. While the accommodation is shared and basic, this is a great opportunity to connect with the local people (and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals!).

The whole adventure of my trip was fantastic from start to finish. The accommodation was perfect and the trips were fabulous. Everything was so well planned out and the balance of activities and trips was spot on. I can’t recommend it enough and will be booking with them again soon.

Absolutely amazing trip from start to finish. It was planned so well and I saw so much of beautiful Cambodia. Our tour guide was fantastic. We visited places I would never have known about without the intrepids guidance. Our hotels, meals and transport was fantastic. This tour offered more than I could ever imagine and I’m already planning my next intrepid tour to India and I wouldn’t do it any other way. I have met the most amazing people and made the best memories. It was fun and interesting with a good balance of of different settings and they adapted the tour to everyone’s capabilities.
