The small country of Cambodia is jam-packed with heritage, culture and beautiful landscapes. Relics of this resilient nation’s chequered history abound, from remnants of French colonial rule, ruins of glorious ancient kingdoms and sombre monuments paying tribute to the suffering inflicted by the reign of Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.
Outside of the nation’s renowned ancient treasures – like the magnificent temple complex of Angkor Wat – there’s much to please the curious traveller: beautiful beaches and islands, lush jungles, welcoming locals and delectable local cuisine.
