Embark on a captivating 6-day tour through Cambodia’s vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. Begin in Phnom Penh, where you’ll explore historical landmarks and vibrant markets. Travel to Takeo, a city steeped in history with its ancient temples and charming countryside. Conclude your journey in Kampong Som, a coastal paradise renowned for its beautiful beaches and serene atmosphere. This itinerary offers a perfect blend of cultural exploration and relaxation, providing an enriching experience of Cambodia’s diverse offerings.
After breakfast, board a speed boat to explore Phnom Da Temple, a pre-Angkorian structure dating back to the 6th century, and Asram Maharoseil, a unique Indian-style sandstone temple from the same period. Despite its ancient origins, the climb is relatively easy as Phnom Da is not very high; however, the path does involve some steep sections and large rocks.
Return to Takeo by boat and proceed to Kep, formerly known as Kep-sur-Mer. This picturesque coastal region was once a favored retreat for Cambodia’s French-influenced elite. After lunch, travel by car to Kampot Province and visit Kep.
Spend the night at a hotel in Kampot.
Following breakfast, take a tour to Bokor Mountain Resort, established by the French in the 1920s and later expanded with modern architecture. The resort was abandoned during the 1970s due to the war and served as a stronghold for the Khmer Rouge for a period. Enjoy exploring this fascinating site for the morning.
After lunch, proceed to Sihanoukville for an overnight stay at a seaside hotel.
After breakfast, head to Kbal Chhay Waterfall, situated approximately 8 kilometers from Sihanoukville. Discovered in 1960, the waterfall was initially intended to be a clean water source for Sihanoukville by 1963. However, this plan failed, and the area became a hidden site for the Khmer Rouge. In 1997, Kbal Chhay was designated as a development zone.
In 1998, Kok An Company won a bid to construct roads and transform the area into a tourist attraction for both locals and international visitors. Today, the Royal Government of Cambodia has repurposed the site as a clean water source for Sihanoukville.
Return to the town for lunch, and in the afternoon, enjoy a city tour visiting Buddhist temples, the sea port, Independence Square, and Phsar Leu (Upper Market).
Spend the night at a seaside hotel.
After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely day swimming and relaxing on the beach in Sihanoukville. Spend the night at a seaside hotel.
