About this trip
Eight days overland from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap, tracing the Mekong from Vietnam into Cambodia and finishing among the temples of Angkor. It's a journey with real contrasts — war history, river life, royal Phnom Penh, and jungle-covered ruins.
You'll cover a lot of ground, mixing boat rides on the Mekong and Tonle Sap with time in three very different cities. There's space for reflection too, with a visit to the Killing Fields alongside the more festive stop at Phare Cambodian Circus.
This one suits travellers happy to keep moving, with history, temples, and local life all packed into just over a week.
