Travora
/ Cambodia
The temples of Angkor, dream beaches and a Khmer welcome.
Cambodia is first the magic of Angkor at sunrise, but also a moving history in Phnom Penh, paradise islands with white sand and a fragrant Khmer cuisine. Simple visa, US dollars accepted everywhere and a light budget: a surprisingly accessible Asian destination for a first big trip from Cameroon.
