In particular you were wonderful; accommodating the first change we made and then having to scramble after the earthquake to make the new arrangements. You are the consummate professional and we really appreciate it. We will certainly recommend you to our friends.

All the best,

Plan a vacation in stunning Cambodia! Learn about the exciting things to see and do, and plan your Cambodia trip with Asia Transpacific Journeys.

Mysterious ruins amid stunning waterfalls, lush jungles, and sugary beaches are only a few of the wonders you’ll find here, and there’s nothing standing between you and the extraordinary. Planning an exciting and unforgettable Cambodia tour is easier than you think. Follow these steps to simplify your journey to this land of countless beauties.

1. Call Asia Transpacific Journeys to speak with our Cambodia travel agents.  Whether you decide on a small group tour or a custom journey, our team of experts can help with every detail.

2. Decide when you want to travel to Cambodia. The weather is pleasant year-round, but the winter months are the least humid.  Temperatures peak around April, and a wet season from early summer to mid-fall brings heavy, quick downpours that present no problem to most visitors but may hinder travel to remote locales.

3. Before your trip, research Cambodian sites, culture, and history. We suggest starting with our recommended reading list and customized travel guide. A trip to Cambodia is incomplete without standing in awe of Angkor Wat, the ruins of the largest religious structure in the world, and Cambodia is home to many more temple ruins. Lucky travelers can see floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake, explore mangroves and waterfalls in the Koh Kong Conservation Corridor, and experience a fantastic mesh of history and innovation in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

Your vacation to the mystical land of Cambodia doesn’t have to be complicated. Contact Asia Transpacific Journeys to book your Cambodia tour today!

The 12th-century temples in Angkor, Cambodia, stand as astonishing remnants of the powerful Khmer Empire that once ruled Southeast Asia. The ancient site last week picked up a new accolade: most beloved World Heritage Site.

That assessment comes from the travel website TripAdvisor, which partnered with UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre to find out which sites travelers would recommend as must-see tourist stop.

Do not hesitate to contact one of our Travel Specialists (800.642.2742) if you want more information on travel and tours to Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

“Where can you experience authentic Southeast Asia without sharing it with busloads of other travelers?

The answer is simple: Find the places that fewer people know about. Throughout Southeast Asia, it’s easy to find viable alternatives to the wonderful but overcrowded destinations to which throngs of travelers typically flock.”

In anticipation of Earth Day on Wednesday, now is a good time to focus on some of our planet’s unique — and endangered — travel destinations. Holly Hughes, author of the new Frommer’s 500 Places to See Before They Disappear, shares some with Tim Smight for USA TODAY.

Angkor Wat
Siem Reap, Cambodia
The capital of the Khmer kingdom from 802 to 1295, Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s chief tourist attraction — temples and shrines that cover 38 square miles. “More than 1 million tourists visit this ancient city every year, putting tremendous stress on the sandstone temples, stairs and walkways,” Hughes says. “It’s one of the world’s most endangered classical sites, and the Cambodian government may have to impose stricter quotas or even close certain buildings in the very near future.”
