What to expect
Adventure is at the heart of this expedition, combining a profound journey through Cambodia’s past and present with a thrilling trek deep into the lush, untamed Cardamom Mountains.
You’ll immerse yourself in Cambodia’s fascinating culture, exploring iconic landmarks such as Angkor Wat and the Royal Palace, while uncovering the nation’s complex history - from the heights of the Khmer Empire to the resilience shown after the Khmer Rouge era.
Beyond exploration, you’ll actively contribute to local community development. Get involved in varied projects, such as assisting school teachers, creating organic gardens, and supporting traditional silk weaving initiatives that improve access to education and create economic opportunities for future generations.
Your spirit of adventure will be tested and rewarded as you trek through dense jungle, camp beneath star-filled skies, and uncover hidden waterfalls in one of Southeast Asia’s last great wildernesses - a journey of discovery, purpose, and unforgettable moments.
Why choose Cambodia for your Expedition
Cambodia offers a powerful combination of cultural discovery and off-the-beaten-path adventure. The trek through the Cardamom Mountains provides a rare chance to explore one of Southeast Asia’s last untouched rainforests - an experience that builds resilience, confidence, and a deep appreciation for nature.
At the same time, Cambodia’s history and traditions create a rich setting for learning: from ancient temples and floating villages to Buddhist blessings and community-led initiatives.
