Highlights

Highlights

  • Marvel at the Temples of Angkor: Stand in awe before the majestic towers of Angkor Wat, wander among the serene stone faces of the Bayon, and explore the jungle-entangled ruins of Ta Prohm. Walking through this sprawling UNESCO World Heritage site is an unforgettable step back into ancient Khmer history.

  • Experience the Energy of Phnom Penh: Discover Cambodia’s capital along the lively riverside promenade, where French colonial architecture sits alongside golden pagoda spires. The city pulses with creativity, featuring independent art spaces, bustling markets, and innovative social-enterprise cafés.

  • Wilderness & Conservation in the Cardamom Mountains: Escape into pure nature, glamping in luxury along a crystal-clear jungle river. Join Wildlife Alliance rangers to see front-line anti-poaching and wildlife protection in action, cruise peaceful riverways, and unwind with open-air spa treatments surrounded by pristine wilderness.

  • Witness Inspiring Arts and Social Initiatives: Experience Cambodia’s vibrant creative spirit firsthand with a performance by the world-renowned Phare Cambodian Circus. Connect with community-driven organizations and vocational training initiatives dedicated to empowering youth and preserving traditional performance arts.

  • Savor Fragrant Plant-Based Khmer Cuisine: Enjoy the complex, herb-forward flavors of Cambodian cuisine thoughtfully adapted for plant-based travelers. From rich coconut vegetable curries made with fresh lemongrass-and-galangal kroeung pastes to vibrant herb salads and dishes flavored with world-famous Kampot pepper, dining here is aromatic, nourishing, and completely animal-free.

Did you know...

Did You Know?

  • A Monument on the Flag: Cambodia is one of the only countries in the world to feature a building on its national flag—the iconic five towers of Angkor Wat.

  • The Largest Pre-Industrial City: At its peak during the 12th and 13th centuries, the Angkor complex covered an area of roughly 1,000 square kilometers, making it the largest low-density megacity in the pre-industrial world.

  • World-Class Pepper: Kampot pepper was the first Cambodian agricultural product to receive Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the European Union, granting its terroir and distinct floral bite the same elite protected pedigree as Champagne, Darjeeling tea, or Kalamata olives.

  • One of the Longest Alphabets: The Khmer script holds a Guinness World Record for having one of the largest alphabets in the world, consisting of 74 characters (including 33 consonants, 23 vowels, and independent vowels).

  • One of Southeast Asia’s Last Wildernesses: The Cardamom Mountains—where Shinta Mani Wild is located—span over 4.4 million hectares and represent one of the largest continuous intact rainforests in Southeast Asia, providing vital habitat for endangered Asian elephants, clouded leopards, and sun bears.

  • The Respectful Greeting (Sampeah): The traditional Cambodian greeting involves pressing palms together in front of the chest and bowing slightly. The higher your hands are placed—at chest level for peers, chin for elders, nose for parents/teachers, and eyebrows for monks or royalty—the deeper the sign of respect.
