With Excursions in Cambodia, you can have more out of the Cambodia Tours. You can start off your Excursions in Cambodia with a visit to the Angkor Temple Complex which is the world's largest religious monument. The temple is a fine example of the magnificent classical Khmer architecture which combines the best of Indian and Indochinese culture. This imposing monument of palaces and temples was built on the sprawling alluvial plain to the north of Tonle Sap.
Excursions in Cambodia can take you to Banlung which is the capital of Rattanakiri province. It is located 600 km north-east of Phnom Penh. Banlung is famous for its exciting ecotourism opportunities. Here you get the rare opportunity to experience the lifestyle of the ethnic hill tribes like the Jorais, Tampuans and Kreungs. You can also go for the wildlife tours here as the place is rich with diverse flora and fauna.
Royal Palace can be a great destination on your Cambodia Excursions. The buildings that you see today were built earlier this century on the site of the Banteay Kev which was a citadel built in 1813. The palace building and of the temple area are separated by a wall. The ground plan and style of the structures are strongly influenced by the Royal Palace in Bangkok. Visit the National Museum as part of your Excursions in Cambodia. The National Museum, formerly known as the Albert Sarraut Museum, was built by the French in 1917-1920. Built of red brick, the structure is in a pseudo-Khmer style. Over 5000 objects are on display here including the Angkorian era statues, lingas and other artifacts including the legendary statue of the ‘Leper King’.
Visit the Wat Phnom as part of your Excursions in Cambodia. The present temple was rebuilt in 1926. The large stupa contains the remains of King Ponhea Yat who moved the Khmer capital from Angkor to Phnom Penh in 1422. There is the altar of Lady Penh between the large stupa and the vihear. Come the night of Chinese or Vietnamese New Year’s Eve and Wat Phnom turns into the busiest pagoda in town.
