The main reason many travelers visit Cambodia is to experience the ancient capital of Angkor Wat. This stunning Buddhist landmark is a spiritual and inspiring site. The temples range from those that have been preserved to those still in their original state, partially engulfed in the surrounding jungle. The temple complex was built in the early twelfth century and attracts countless visitors every year.

From Angkor Wat, adventurous travelers can rent motorcycles and head to the Cambodian countryside. Although not for everyone, country roads in Cambodia can sometimes lead to rarely visited temples and ruins.

Travelers to Cambodia are typically met with gracious smiles from the local residents. With numerous festivals throughout the year there are great opportunities to witness Cambodian culture firsthand. The biggest Cambodian holiday is the annual Bonn Om Teuk, Water Festival. If you happen to be in Cambodia during this festival you will want to attend the boat rowing contest, sample local cuisine, and meet the residents.

From its spiritual sites to its friendly people, a visit to Cambodia is exciting and memorable.
