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 India Little Rann of KutchA unique salt desert with diverse wildlife, engrossing local culture, and a history stretching back to the Indus Valley Civilisations. Laos Luang PrabangLuang Prabang is Laos’s Shangri-La: sweeping golden roofs and colonial shophouses against a lush backdrop of jungle-covered mountains, and a laid-back atmosphere of peace and serenity. India LucknowLucknow is one of India’s best-kept secrets. History, beauty, charm and culture for days — it’s up there with any city in Rajasthan, even Jaipur. India Madurai‘The Soul of Tamil Nadu’, ‘The Athens of the East’, ‘The city that never sleeps’ – Madurai is one of the oldest cities in India, and it has collected its fair share of epithets over the years. Thailand Mae Hong SonWedged into a narrow valley in Thailand’s far north, with steep-sloped, jungle-cloaked mountains rising on all sides, Mae Hong Son is a laid-back base for adventures through forest and farmland to the villages of Karen, Lisu and Black Lahu ethnic minorities. India MahabalipuramWorld Heritage temples combine with sand, surf and backpacker vibes to make Mahabalipuram a beach break with a difference. India MaheshwarStay at a converted fort with the descendants of a famous Maratha queen, and enjoy the magic of the Maheshwar countryside's ghats and riverside temples. Vietnam Mai ChauStunningly beautiful yet eminently accessible, Mai Chau’s rice paddy scenery and ethnic minority villages offer an introduction to rural Vietnam that comes with comfy beds, Western loos, and loads of adventurous activities. India Majuli islandThe river island of Majuli is a shrinking gem, home to bamboo stilt villages, Vaishnavite temples, sleepy farms and Mising tribal culture. Malaysia MalaccaWith a history stretching back through colonial rule and the Age of Exploration, Malacca’s Portuguese fortress and lantern-strung Chinese temples make it one of the best places to get a sense of Malaysia’s long and turbulent past. Borneo Maliau BasinOften referred to as Borneo’s “Lost World”, the Maliau Basin’s hostile geography has kept the rest of the world out for 130 million years. Its isolation has allowed a cornucopia of endemic species to thrive undisturbed. India MarariArguably the best beach destination in Kerala, with golden sands, glittering seas, and plenty of laid-back south Indian charm. Load More Why book with InsideAsia?
