A land of contrasts in perfect balance, where tradition meets change and the past lives side by side with the present. Cambodia is raw, alive, beautiful and perspective-shi- ing. Located in the southern region of the Indochinese peninsula, life in Cambodia is dictated by the rhythms of the Mekong River and Tonle Sap, the world's largest freshwater floodplain and the beating heart of the 'King- dom of Wonder.' Despite being smaller than its neighboring countries, Cambodia's unique Indian-influenced Khmer culture centered around Buddhist tradition and spirituality, has remained very much intact throughout its magnificent past. From remote jungles in the northeast and virgin white-sand islands of the south to the colonial capital of Phnom Penh and relaxed village life in between, Cambo- dia's diverse landscapes, fascinating history and friendly people make this changing place one of the most beautiful and enigmatic countries in Southeast Asia. Begin your journey in the heart of Cambodia's Angkor Empire, explore the beauty of the temples from the comfort of a traditional, luxury sanctuary inside the secluded forest of the temple park. Indulge in traditional massage therapies and exquisite local cuisine. Continue your trip south towards the remote Cardamom Mountains, where a private nature sanctuary nestled within the depths of the jungle awaits, moving to the symphony of the exuberant scenery and wildlife. End your honeymoon romance with a private island retreat staying in an intimate stilted villa over the calm, pristine wa- ters of the Koh Rong archipelago. Partake in a traditional Buddhist ceremony entered around the bond of love and partnership, and get lost among the secluded private beaches of the island.
