Classical Cambodia: The Three Pearls

11 Days

11 DAYS AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM

OVERVIEW

NATURAL CHARM AND HISTORY

This program includes several days in the former cultural capital of Cambodia – the city of Battambang. Now, these places are increasingly popular among foreign tourists. There is an opinion that this is where you can see ordinary Cambodians’ real, provincial life, not embellished for tourists. The city’s architecture has mostly stayed the same since colonial times, maintaining a distinct French style.

A trip to this province will be complemented by fantastic entertainment in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Which ones exactly are not a secret, because we tried to describe our upcoming adventures in detail.
