Cambodia Chronicles - Phnom Penh to Angkor Wat

Overview

Experience the soul of Cambodia in this thoughtfully curated 4-day cultural escape that weaves together ancient kingdoms, colonial charm, and resilient history. Your journey begins in Phnom Penh, the vibrant capital where golden rooftops of royal palaces shimmer alongside French-colonial façades. Explore spiritual gems like the Silver Pagoda and National Museum, and witness Cambodia’s darker chapters at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum — a sobering but essential reminder of its resilience.

As you cross the country by road, discover the rustic heart of Cambodia, stopping at local villages and surreal spots like Skun, where fried spiders are a beloved snack. Drift into a different world at Tonlé Sap Lake, where floating villages sway with the rhythms of water and time. Then step into the divine realm of Angkor in Siem Reap, with its legendary temples — from the smiling faces of Bayon to the jungle-wrapped ruins of Ta Prohm and the magnificent Angkor Wat, a masterpiece of sacred architecture.

Whether you’re walking through centuries-old ruins, cruising between stilt houses, or soaking in the spirit of Khmer culture — every moment is designed to captivate, educate, and inspire.
