Why you'll love this trip
  • See the essential sights of Phnom Penh on a full-day guided tour of the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Then, stop by a working Buddhist monastery to meet the resident monks – a Premium Exclusive Experience.
  • Relax and unwind during a 3-night Feature Stay at the Navutu Dreams Resort & Wellness Retreat in Siem Reap – this tropical oasis is home to three swimming pools, bright and beautiful rooms and an excellent restaurant.
  • Enjoy two days of fully guided temple tours in Siem Reap, with in-depth insights into the history of these extraordinary structures and plenty of time at Angkor Wat, plus an Exclusive Experience morning accompanied by a private archaeological guide.
  • Experience authentic Cambodian cuisine when you visit the Sala Bai Hotel School for lunch, enjoy a local lunch made by expert silk weavers and enjoy an exclusive privately catered dinner in the rice fields of Siem Reap.
  • Discover traditional Cambodian life at Skun Village and Santuk Silk Farm, known for empowering local women as expert weavers. Learn their stories and make the most of your time with the locals.
  • By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, CRST. Donations help them break the cycle of poverty in Cambodia by inspiring and empowering children with education opportunities.

Is this trip right for you?
  • The bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge is a painful but important part of Cambodian history to confront. If you would rather not visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, just let your leader know.
  • You’ll visit a number of temples that require a certain level of modesty. You’ll need to bring clothes that cover the shoulders and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it is hot.
  • In 2024, Khmer New Year (Songkran Festival) will be on the 14th to 16th 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.

A wonderful introduction to Cambodia staying in beautiful accommodation with some exceptional and unforgettable experiences such as the last night dinner at a private house in the paddy fields. Ankor Wat and the other temples combined with the relaxed city of Phnom Penh surpassed expectations

This was our first Intrepid trip on the Premium Vietnam and Cambodia 13 day tour and won’t be the last. In fact many of the people on our trip were return Intrepid travellers which says a lot. Excellent itinerary. Guides and Hotels who make you feel very special throughout your trip. The excursions were very good and I’ll never forget our trip to Halong Bay, boat trips, private dining in the rice field and sunrise at Anghor Wat. Our guide in Vietnam, Thao and Cambodia Daro were superb. We’ll definitely book Intrepid Tours in the future

With Daro as our guide, I learned and experienced so much about this fascinating country. The itinerary was all-encompassing and well-paced. Our guide was kind and well organized. I’ve travelled with Intrepid many times and found this tour to be one of the best I’ve taken.
