Impressive museums sit alongside buzzing street markets in the capital Phnom Penh while Battambang blends an old world with small town charm.

Why you'll love this trip
  • Take in the sights of Phnom Penh on a fun cyclo tour, visiting some of the city's most historic buildings.
  • Share a meal with a local family in Battambang before keeping up with the kids on a cycling adventure through the scenic, rural countryside.
  • Get a taste for Cambodian cuisine in a fun hands-on cooking class in Siem Reap, where you’ll get to choose fresh, local ingredients at the market then learn some tips and tricks from a local chef.
  • Explore the ancient temples of the Angkor complex – a UNESCO World Heritage-listed archaeological complex and the world's largest religious site.
  • Enjoy some family fun and incredible acrobatics at Phare the Cambodian Circus – where those from disadvantaged homes have learned some incredible skills to shock, wow and delight!

Is this trip right for you?
  • You will visit several 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.
  • In 2025, Khmer New Year (Songkran Festival) will be on the 13th to 15th April. This is a fascinating and rewarding time to see the country, however, you do need to be prepared for some businesses to be closed, tourist sites to be very busy and for transport to be packed as many Cambodians are travelling around the country. Please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.

Great experience for parents of (reluctant) teens because the other parents and kids encourage them to go along with the group. Also, we all took photos of each others families and shared them, so it was like traveling with a photographer. :) The itinerary wasn’t too fast or too slow, and we enjoyed all the included activities. The bike ride was hot and tiring, but Intrepid had a tuk tuk following us for those who wanted to stop early or rest. Overall, a 5 star experience which is hard to do with teenagers!

What a fun and memorable way to see Cambodia with my teenage son - thank you Saopheak “Peak” for guiding us through this wonderful part of SE Asia in a way that made us feel taken care of but gave us the experience that is so different from home. I recommend this trip for families with teenagers young and old as well as for single parents wanting to get away with one child for some special one on one time.

This marked my kids' debut on the global travel scene, and boy, did we hit the jackpot with this choice! Every bit, from the plans and activities to the awesome guide and top-notch sustainable travel ethos from Intrepid, was pure perfection!
