Three-day journey from Pattaya into the heart of Cambodia along the Tomb Raider route. Visit Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Phnom …
pvgolovanov
It felt like we had stepped straight into a movie, especially when we found ourselves in temples hidden deep in the jungle. Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm are breathtaking in scale - seeing them in real life is on a completely different level, photos simply don’t capture it. The program is packed but well thought out, combining history, nature, and moments to simply slow down and breathe. We especially loved the day at Phnom Kulen with its waterfall - it’s the kind of place you want to stay longer. The trip is long and intense, but the fatigue from the road fades away, while everything else stays with you.
