Luxury Travel has intro-
duced an exotic tour to the
coastline of Cambodia.
Beyond the lure of An-
gkor and the Khmer ruins,
Cambodia offers majestic
mountains and a coastal rivi-
era for beach and seafood
lovers. This seven day trip is
a great standalone experi-
ence for new or seasoned
travelers. It is also a great
extension after exploring
Khmer temples at Angkor or
Phnom Penh.
The tour starts in Phnom
Penh and finishes at Sihan-
oukville Airport. Activities in-
clude trekking, caving, boat-
ing, and leisure biking.
“Part of the coastline
was officially recognised
as one of the World’s Most
Beautiful Bays in May,
2011. All roads are improv-
ing and travelling across
the region is easy and com-
fortable. With the southern
border crossings open with
Thailand and Vietnam, the
region is wide open and
perfect for intrepid travel-
lers who want off the beat-
en track experiences,” says
Pham Ha, founder and CEO
of Luxury Travel.
The Cambodia tour
starts at $1,216 (2 sharing).
