cambodia | introduction

Cambodia is a place filled with an immensely rich history, unique culture and diverse lands. Separated geographically into four different regions, the country boasts various types of lands including tropical forests, wildlife, flat lands, coastal plains, mangroves, beaches and mountains amongst several others. Due to this geographical diversity, Cambodia attracts not only a wide range of cultural traditions but also a wide variety of travelers as well.

Despite its many current beautiful conditions, the country sadly did not always have such things. Once ruled by the Khmer Rouge entourage, Cambodia experienced several extremely hard years that saw turmoil, wars and political corruption. Fortunately, the country has risen out of such horrific times and is now considered to be a fantastic place to visit as well reside in. Though each country has its own faults, millions of people frequent Cambodia to experience its enchanting charm that exudes its gorgeously immense temples, pristine beaches and bustling capital city of Phnom Penh.

Visitors of the country are able to experience a wide range of diversity in both lands and culture. Although the main area of interest lies mostly in Siem Reap, known for its world famous wonder of Angkor Wat, the country has gained increasing popularity in both the north and the south. If it is crazy city life that sparks your interest, Phnom Penh would be the place to head to. If long white sandy beaches suit your needs and preferences, Sihanoukville may just be calling your name. Exploring small fishing villages, floating villages and lands spread so far you can hardly see the end of them, Cambodia has it all and so much more and it is all waiting to be explored.
