CAMBODIA: It has long thrown the veil of destruction and isolation and has successfully managed to jostle its way on the tourist map again. Though the shadows of the unpleasant past at times loom large, the country deserves a genuine discovery and admiration too. The major attraction is the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh that houses the magnificent Khmer culture. Several bits of architecture wounded but dominant are still present. The principal attractions are the temples of Angkor Vat. These 100 odd temples were wrapped in the unwanted jungles a few years back. Efforts of restoring them have paid off. Cambodia is also blessed with stunning beaches and waterfalls at the Sihanouk Ville. If interested in an offbeat discovery then turn towards the floating town of Kompong Loung. Cambodia beckons all the open hearted travelers who are willing to experience, this land with true spirits of adventure and leisure!! .
Cambodia is located in the heart mainland of Southeast Asia, which conjures images of a glorious and mysterious past and rich of the cultural heritages, particularly the world's renowned ancient temple city whose magical image draws ever-increasingly tourists from all over the world.
The divergent facets of the Kingdom provoke both the serious and casual traveler, generally charmed and sometimes bewildered by its mysteries. Not only Angkor Wat, Bayon, Taprohm, Sandstone of ancient holy places, the giant roots of ancient trees, the graceful shapes of Apsaras and some temples buried in the jungle, hill tribes settled in the remote areas, colorful pagodas, strings of pristine islands and the century beach, as part of cultural tour that Cambodia is proud of her presentation, but also the splendor of the Khmer civilization and its people who have shown their friendliness everywhere you move in the country.
