Let me share my first impressions about Cambodia and my top 10 takeaways from this beautiful country. This post will give you valuable insights and insider tips into what to expect while visiting Cambodia.

Located about 60 km from Siem Reap is Kulen National Park, a protected area spread over 37,000 hectares in Cambodia, popular for its natural beauty and cultural significance.

The Cambodian circus, Phare, celebrates Cambodian culture and the warmth and resilience of its people. It's heady mix of humour, acrobatics, storytelling, comedy and live music makes it very endearing to watch.

Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, offers an eclectic mix of Khmer culture, French colonial architecture and a deep dive into the gruesome past of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime. Don't miss the stunning Royal Palace of Cambodia and the infamous Killing fields under the Khmer Rouge regime.

The Royal Palace of Cambodia in Phnom Penh should be top of your must-see attractions, you will not only get to see a gloriously ornate edifice but will also get a glimpse into the Cambodian culture and Khmer architecture. Located on the confluence of the Rivers Tonle Sap and Mekong, the palace, with its tall golden spires, gilded roof tops that shimmer in the bright Cambodian sun, and delightfully ornate interiors, creates a mesmerising visual treat.
