Cambodia Walking Holidays

A country seemingly tailor-made for the inquisitive and adventurous, Cambodia’s ancient temples and modern urban scene create a pleasing collision of old and new. This magical amalgam is best experienced up close and on foot, making Cambodia walking holidays an obvious choice. Hike to hidden temples alongside expert guides, for the chance to see storied ruins before sunrise and without the tourist crowds. Explore the fabled Angkor Thom temple complex and visit Angkor Wat in its best light, as the first beams of sunlight emerge from behind the ruins. Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, also lends itself to on-foot exploration, with its intricate Royal Palace, impressive National Museum and walkable riverside setting (at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers). When it comes to fuelling your journey, the city’s teeming Central Market supplies endless sources of energy, in the form of mouth-watering street food.

Cambodia Walking Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Cambodia’s storied historical sites, myth-swathed temples and bountiful landscapes demand proper exploration, and Cambodia walking holidays afford full immersion into the country’s myriad sights, sounds and smells. Embrace the rhythm of rural life while trekking through rolling hills and past glorious rice paddies, in search of shrouded temples, which you can explore alongside an expert guide. The iconic temple complex of Angkor Wat – the world’s largest religious monument – can take pride of place in your itinerary, although there are plenty of other treasures to uncover, such as the temple of Prasat Banteay Thom and Prasat Prei temple.


Cambodia’s cities sway to a slightly more upbeat rhythm and provide a pleasing contrast to the peaceful countryside during Cambodia walking holidays. Phnom Penh is a feast for the senses (particularly tastebuds), with its lively markets, world-class dining and flavourful street food. Rest weary legs at one of the city’s many cafés or take a pew in the National Museum while admiring fascinating cultural artifacts. Siem Reap – the country’s second-city – is best known as the gateway for the temples of Angkor, but has also become a chic hub in itself. Once you’ve trekked to the timeworn temples, indulge in some well-earned relaxation at one of Siem Reap’s luxurious spas.
