Holidays to Cambodia
Visit Cambodia and you’ll almost certainly want to return – that’s the magic of this faraway land sandwiched between Thailand and Vietnam. Nicknamed, ‘The Kingdom of Wonder’, it’s something of a tropical fairytale, with untouched beaches and thick, humid rainforests that cling to mountain peaks.
Cambodia’s temples are considered to be among the world’s most beautiful, and as iconic as the apricot-robed monks who roam them. The stirring Angkor Wat complex, in the north, is the biggest religious monument on the planet, and visitors flock here from far and wide. Another must-see is the rainbow-washed capital city, Phnom Penh, which combines a riverbank setting with a bustling café and street food scene.
With Saga, you can explore Cambodia and neighbouring Vietnam and Laos as part of an escorted group tour.

Highlights of holidays to Cambodia
No holiday to Cambodia is complete without seeing the magnificent temple complex Angkor Wat, but spending time in the remote, rural hinterland and witnessing local life is also rewarding.

One of the most exquisite and important religious monuments in the world, Angkor Wat is also one of the most photographed. A sunrise or sun set visit offers the quintessential view, as you see the iconic silhouette mirrored in perfect symmetry by the reflection pool, against a sky marbled with black, orange and gold.
