A really interesting trip, which shows something both of modern, recent and ancient Cambodia. Lovely people, food etc and made a bit more special by our guide, Ly, whose passion and personal experience, as well as his commitment to us and to his country, made it very special. Not a fast paced trip, possibly the first time I have come back from holiday feeling relaxed – but maybe that isn’t a bad thing
Killing Fields
Killing Fields Trips
In the 1970s, the Khmer Rouge regime executed hundreds of thousands of Cambodians. They transported their victims to what have since become known as the Killing Fields, before executing them and burying them in mass graves.
One of these sites is a few kilometres outside Phnom Penh and can be visited on some of the Exodus holidays to Cambodia. Needless to say, Killing Fields tours are both moving and unsettling – but, for many, it’s important the past is not forgotten, uncomfortable though it may be.

Emily Norton Cambodia AdventureAn excellent and varied tour with many highlights. We missed out on visiting Battambang because of border disputes but this was probably to our benefit as we had extra days in Phnom Penh and Siem Riep so we had less travelling and moving hotels and gained a lovely cycle ride round Silk Island in Phnom Penh so we didn’t miss out on anything. The pace was comfortable with quite moments but no boredom. The group was lovely, the leader excellent, the restaurants also excellent, such a variety of delicious food, beautifully presented at extremely reasonable prices (helped by a good exchange rate with the US$ but would still ahve been reasonable). The only improvement would have been the inclusion of some of the optional extras which were all excellent. I would have also been good to visit the Landmine museum and the Phnom Kulen mountains. I would say that countryside was what was most missing from this tour, we had glimpses on the day near Kampot and on Silk island but a visit to a National Park would have provided another level of contrast to those already on the tour. It would be good to provide an extension in Siem Riep to include a third day at the temples, the Landmine Museum, the floating villages and the Phnom Kulen mountains.
