ГлавнаяCambodia is a developing country, but when it comes to tourism...let's just say that we like it as it is. Of course, big cities such as the capital may not seem appealing, but did you know that Cambodia is one of the countries with most waterfalls? If you are a nature enthusiast, you are going to love Cambodia. Below you will find a few of the most popular attractions.
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
Most people who go to Cambodia land in Seam Reap, so Angkor Wat is the best place to start your tour. It is an ancient temple that actually looks ancient. The area has not been restored, so you can see how nature is taking over the towers and the courtyards. The site is well kept, and at times it may be overcrowded, but you cannot visit Cambodia without seeing Angkor Wat. It is like going to India and not see the Taj Mahal. It is an iconic place where you can create lovely memories.
The beaches
South-western Cambodia is bordered by the Gulf of Thailand. Yes, tropical paradises are not rare, but you need to check them out. The sand is white, and the water is turquoise, just like you see in a travel magazine. The beaches are well kept, and you get to just lay in the sand with a cold beverage in your hand. Moreover, if you are lucky, you can see bioluminescent plankton. It is one of the best things you will see in your life. If you have ever traveled to the Maldives, then you may have noticed the phenomenon before, but if not, you will experience magic.
Quick tip: make sure that you protect yourself against sand fleas. They are the worst and quite common on Cambodian beaches. Repellent solutions work, so pack that in your bag before you leave.
Nature
Cambodia is full of natural parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Virachey National Park, for example, will provide one of the best experiences in your life. You can go trekking into the wild. You go in so deep into the forest that you will not even have cell phone reception. You can go kayaking there, and you can stay with the indigenous population. Kulen Prum Wildlife Sanctuary is another location that you will love. You can volunteer to take care of elephants and dogs. The thing is that the two places do not even begin to cover the beauty of nature in Cambodia.
Cambodia will leave a mark. Moreover, it is easy to get across the border. You can apply for a Cambodia evisa online and have your visa in as little as 24 hours. You need a passport and a few other things, but you should have an easy time applying. Just so you know, even the passport photos can be acquired online, so you will have an easy time getting the proper documentation. Other than that, have fun exploring Cambodia.
