This itinerary is very much a tale of two cities. You’ll explore the vibrant island of Hong Kong, an ultra-modern city that’s evolved a lot since gaining independence from Britain: it’s now one of the wealthiest places in the world. You’ll then fly to Cambodia and visit the Angkor Wat temple complex. As well as visiting the floating villages of Tonlé Sap, you’ll visit Ta Prohm: a mysterious temple that’s overgrown by trees. You’ll also see the enigmatic carved faces of Bayon.
To wrap up your trip in style and comfort, you’ll head to Kep, a picturesque coastal town that’s becoming increasingly popular as a tourist destination.
