day 1 - Phnom Penh

Sua s'dei! Welcome to Cambodia. Your adventure begins in Phnom Penh – the meeting point of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, where the locals come to snack on the street hawkers’ food and enjoy impromptu waterside entertainment. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight, then you’ll kick off your food adventure with a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. The Cambodian cooking pot combines an eclectic mix of local and international influences and has a flavour all of its own. Later, maybe go for a drink or stroll along the famous Sisowath Quay.

included:Phnom Penh - Welcome Dinner

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Dinner

day 2 - Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh remains a living relic of the country’s past struggles and successes. Today you’ll visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, which tell the story of the tragic legacy of the Khmer Rouge. In the afternoon, maybe visit the Royal Palace. The private quarters of the Royal Palace are home to King Sihamoni and are closed to the public, but you can visit the Silver Pagoda that lies in the palace complex – the most sacred temple in the country. In the evening, hop on a tuk-tuk and enjoy a foodie tour of some of the tastiest local food for dinner in Phnom Penh - the beef skewer and the fried pork ribs are our favourite!

day 3 - Kampot

Today, take a private transfer to Kampot – one of Cambodia's most attractive old towns. Famous for its pepper, Kampot supplied most French restaurants with this vital spice for many years during colonial rule. Today, the region is more renowned for its plantations of durian – a spiky, pungent fruit that you’ll either love or hate (try it and see for yourself). When you arrive, head to Kep Beach for lunch – the nearby Kep markets serve fresh crab cooked to perfection – and eat on the pier overlooking the ocean. After lunch, check into your hotel and in the afternoon, follow your leader on an orientation walk in the city. Stroll along the riverside and admire the French architecture, learning about its history from your leader. Then, maybe have a cup of coffee in the riverside restaurants and admire the view of Bokor Mountain Range. A traditional massage is also highly recommended here, from social enterprise Seeing Hands – the best way to support a local charity, is in loose cotton pyjamas, put in the capable hands of one of the blind masseurs or masseuses. In a country with no social security, the training and support provided by the centres allow blind Cambodians to support themselves.

included:Kampot - Crab Market & Lunch, Kampot - Leader-led orientation walk

accommodation:Hotel (1 night)

meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

day 4 - Kampot

This morning you’ll have breakfast at Epic Café – a social enterprise that provides employment for local people living with disabilities. After, visit the salt fields that stretch across much of Kampot’s coastline. After learning a bit about the salt production here, onto the Kampot Pepper Project. Grown in Cambodia for centuries, Kampot pepper is considered the world’s finest. Today, pepper is also seen as an important symbol of Cambodian regeneration. Learn from the best here about the use of pepper in a cooking class at the plantation and try some some pepper ice cream as your desert. The afternoon is all yours in this idyllic town.

included:Kampot - Phnom Chhnork, Kampot - Pepper plantation & salt field visit, Kampot - Breakfast at Epic Art Café (NGO restaurant), Kampot - Cooking class & pepper ice cream tasting

meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

day 5 - Kampong Chhnang or Battambang

Itinerary 1 (for departures starting until 30Jun, 2026)

Itinerary 2 (for departures starting after 30Jun, 2026)
Travel by private bus to Battambang – Cambodia's second-largest city (approx. 7 hours). On the way, stop at Kampong Chhnang and visit local pottery workshops to see how the masters are working at their craft, and enjoy a lunch in the village. Then continue onto Battambang. Battambang is a riverside town of French influence, famous for its many statues of animals and divinities that decorate the streets and buildings. It also lacks the traffic of Phnom Penh and the visitor numbers of Siem Reap, so it’s a great place to get a real slice of Cambodia. Your leader can recommend activities for the rest of afternoon. Perhaps join a local Battambang foodie for a home-cooked meal, tasting local dishes such as amok, Khmer curry and fried spicy chicken with homemade rice noodles.

included:Kampong Chhnang - Pottery village visit

In the evening, head to a lovely night market by the river and try some of the most loved snacks on a food crawl - Lort Cha (fried rice noodle), beef skewers, fresh fruit shake etc - your expert foodie leader will have some excellent recommendations.

Itinerary 2 (for departures starting after 30Jun, 2026)
Take a bicycle ride into the countryside. The ride is easy and takes mostly shady roads through local villages. Along the way, stop to experience rice paper making, fruit drying and preparation, production of the famous prahok (fish paste) and rice wine making at local homes. Finish up at the best Kralan (sticky rice in bamboo) stall in the district. After, you’ll head to Siem Reap via private vehicle (approx. 3 hours). this small but expanding town is the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Angkor complex. This is the most popular destination for travellers in all of Cambodia (maybe even in Southeast Asia!). You'll probably notice a change of pace here, so maybe take a walk and enjoy the atmosphere when you arrive. A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs – wandering through the stalls and surrounding shops, you’ll find silks, cotton, sarongs, silver and statues among a flurry of colour. There's also a long tradition of shadow puppetry in the region, so if you're lucky, you might even catch a show at one of the local restaurants tonight.

Head to the village of Preah Dak for a traditional breakfast of homemade num banh chok (a popular Khmer noodle dish).

After, it's time to explore more of the Angkor complex, built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer Empire was the pre-eminent influence in South East Asia.
