Cambodia is a country still being discovered. Its defining image is Angkor Wat at sunrise, but the 400-square-kilometre temple complex is only the beginning of what lies waiting in the jungle.

Beyond the ruins, Phnom Penh's colonial riverfront, the sleepy coastal retreat of Kep and the pristine sands of Koh Rong reveal a nation of gentle contrasts. Cambodian warmth and resilience turn every encounter into something memorable.

For 2026, Cambodia champions community-based, regenerative travel: village homestays, low-impact jungle hikes and smarter visitor management that spreads travellers across hundreds of lesser-known temples rather than concentrating them on one.
