Cambodia

The Cambodian journey with 700,000 Heures was an extraordinary experience that blended cultural immersion, history, and natural beauty. Upon arrival in Siem Reap, a personal butler greeted guests and remained by their side throughout the stay, starting with a welcome snack at a beautifully curated house. Guests then met a renowned archaeologist who introduced them to the history of Angkor before they explored the temples, including private access to the Angkor Conservation. A surprise dinner by a talented young chef followed, and the next day began with an early start to witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat. The journey continued with exclusive visits to secret temples, a serene stay in a private house within the temple walls, and cultural encounters with local artists and craftsmen. Evenings were filled with candlelit dinners, historical film screenings, and starry skies. The adventure extended to Tonle Sap Lake, where floating houses offered a tranquil retreat surrounded by nature. Activities included traditional boat rides, crafting with local materials, and a sunset experience on a secluded platform. The journey concluded with visits to rural villages, a traditional ox cart ride, and a night spent at the Phare Circus school in Battambang. Each day was thoughtfully curated to offer a deep connection with Cambodia’s culture, history, and people, making the seven-day journey an unforgettable experience filled with discovery, luxury, and joy.
