A guide to Cambodia's top places, plus our lesser-known favouritesCovering an area smaller than Oklahoma, Cambodia is small, round, flat, and over 50% forested. That last part’s pretty significant: in Southeast Asia, only Borneo has more continuous rainforest, which makes Cambodia one of the best places in the world to explore the habitats of endangered species such as Asian elephants, Indochinese tigers, clouded leopards and Asiatic black bears.Cambodia doesn’t have massive, hectic cities like Bangkok or Hanoi– and we’re not saying that to be negative. In fact, for us, that’s the whole point. No big cities mean only a handful of highways, so roads trip can be adventures through forests and farmland, stopping off every now and then for a coconut from the roadside.Plan my trip Overview Itineraries Experiences Places to visit Best time to visit Accommodation Image Image All Phnom Penh Banteay Chhmar Battambang Botum Sakor National Park Kampong Thom Kampot Kep Koh Kong Koh Krabey Koh Rong Koh Russey Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary Mondulkiri Kratie Phnom Tnout Wildlife Sanctuary Southern Cardamom National Park Siem Reap Cambodia MondulkiriA visit to Mondulkiri is about feeling as far away from civilisation as it’s possible to be, sleeping in rainforest huts surrounded by the hoots of yellow-cheeked crested gibbons and trekking through jungle to meet rescued elephants. Cambodia Phnom PenhPhnom Penh may no longer be the “Pearl of the Orient”, but don’t judge a book by its cover: beneath this chaotic exterior is a city alive with energy, art, and youthful verve. Cambodia Phnom Tnout Wildlife SanctuaryForget jostling with sharp-elbowed crowds to get that perfect sunrise snap of Angkor Wat. What if you could explore 800-year-old cave temples with only silver langur, barking deer and pileated gibbons for company? Cambodia Siem ReapThe laid-back, low-rise town of Siem Reap is the gateway to one of the most spectacular man-made sights on the planet: the sprawling, root-strangled ruins of Angkor. Cambodia Southern Cardamom National ParkPart of one of Southeast Asia’s largest remaining wilderness areas, the densely forested Southern Cardamom Mountains are a refuge for Asian elephants, pileated gibbons, clouded leopards and countless species as yet unknown to science. Sri Lanka BalapitiyaJust down the coast from Bentota, this quiet coastal town is known for blonde beaches and crystal waters. India BandhavgarhSmaller and busier than Madhya Pradesh's other national parks, Bandhavgarh is hilly, rugged, beautiful – and has the best rate of tiger sightings in India. Malaysia Banding IslandIn the middle of Lake Temenggor, Banding Island is the starting point for expeditions into ancient rainforest filled with over 3,000 types of flowering plant and more hornbill species than anywhere else in the world. India BangaloreYoung, global, edgy — whether you’re after live music, craft coffee, or avant-garde theatre, Bangalore is one of India’s most exciting & progressive cities. Thailand BangkokBangkok is an assault on the senses. Clouds of aromatic steam battle with exhaust fumes, neon signs blink jarringly alongside confection-like temples, and 30-degree heat and humidity heightens the sensation that you’re simmering in a heady, spice-laden stew. Cambodia Banteay ChhmarThe chances are you’ve heard of Angkor Wat, but did you know that the Khmer Empire extended over a million square kilometres, and that their ruins lie hidden in every corner of Cambodia? Borneo Batang AiRemote Batang Ai is the ancestral heartland of Sarawak’s Iban people and the best place to spot orangutans in the wild. After exploring the jungle, experience life in a tribal longhouse, sharing song, dance and tuak rice wine long into the night. Cambodia BattambangWith its crumbling colonial buildings, fertile countryside, vital contemporary arts scene and mellow, carefree ambiance, it’s very difficult not to fall in love with Battambang. Sri Lanka BentotaA popular coastal resort town with long, golden beaches, gentle tides, and a handful of luxury hotels. India BhopalOne of our favourite unsung cities, Bhopal’s lakeside setting, Islamic old town and history of feisty female rulers are just a few of its draws. India BhujMughal palaces and sunbaked desert are the backdrop to laid-back Bhuj, where old-fashioned workshops produce some of the finest textiles in the world. Cambodia Botum Sakor National ParkAsiatic black bears, Malayan tapirs, pileated gibbons and perhaps even the elusive Indochinese tiger: Botum Sakor National Park is a haven for Cambodia's endangered mammals.
