Cambodia Itinerary

Siem Reap is renowned for its incredible social impact projects, and through our local partners, we’re fortunate to gain unique access to many transformative initiatives - the first one you’ll experience is the "Water for Cambodia" project.

Over the next two days, you’ll play a hands-on role in addressing one of the region’s biggest challenges - access to clean drinking water.

You’ll begin by learning about the innovative Bio Sand Filters, a simple yet life-changing solution that turns contaminated water into safe, drinkable water. Working alongside the team, you’ll help assemble these filters, gaining insight into the impact of this vital work.

The experience culminates with the delivery and installation of the filters directly into local communities. Witnessing families receive clean water for the first time will be unforgettable moment, underscoring the importance of Siem Reap’s social enterprises and the privilege of being part of their inspiring mission.

Here you will spend the day with JWOC, a project championed by our local partners, dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between visitors and local students. This cultural exchange programme is all about sharing ideas, values, language, and history in a fun and interactive way.

Through engaging activities like storytelling, games, and collaborative projects, you’ll connect on a personal level with students, learning about their lives and culture while sharing your own experiences. It’s a unique opportunity to engage with Cambodia’s younger generation in a way that’s both impactful and rewarding.

On Sunday mornings, you'll take part in an inspiring project with ReadClub Cambodia, dedicated to nurturing a love for reading among local children.

Our main guide, Sunak, plays a crucial role in this project, ensuring everything runs smoothly. During the morning session, you’ll help students practice reading and engage in lively discussions about their favourite books, offering a meaningful opportunity to encourage learning and connect with the next generation.

In the afternoon, you can choose to unwind or amp up the excitement with a visit to the Wake Park Water Park (optional, with a small additional cost).

Whether you're wakeboarding across the water or simply soaking up the fun atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to add some adventure to your day.

You spend one more day reconnecting with JWOC (Journeys Within Our Community) for another meaningful cultural exchange session. Building on your earlier visit, you’ll dive back into engaging activities with local students, sharing ideas, stories, and perspectives.

This return session allows you to deepen the connections you’ve made and further explore the values, language, and history that make Cambodia so unique. It’s a chance to reflect on the bonds formed and the mutual learning that makes this adventure so special. By the end of the day, you’ll leave inspired by the resilience and warmth of the community and the impact of the work you’ve been a part of.

Spend your final Sunday morning back with Read Club Cambodia, helping local children practice reading and share their love for books - a meaningful way to wrap up your time giving back.

In the afternoon, relax and enjoy Siem Reap one last time, whether exploring, grabbing a coffee, or haggling in the markets.

Next up, you'll venture further into the heart of Cambodia to Sen Monorom. As you travel through ever-changing scenery - forests, plantations, grasslands, mountains, and lush jungle - you’ll reach Mondulkiri, known as "where the mountains meet" and home to traditional Phnong villages. Once in Sen Monorom, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local coffee and pepper plantation, and explore the buzzing local market filled with fresh produce and unique handicrafts.

Your jungle adventure then continues as you visit a Phnong minority village. You'll meet your Cambodian elephant and local guide (a Mahout) early in the morning and embark on a trek through the jungle. Crossing rivers, passing local farms, and ending up at the Trok River for lunch. Here, you'll help your Mahout wash and cool off the elephants, followed by a cultural evening in the village with a BBQ dinner.

The following day, you'll hike through the jungle, marvelling at the spectacular views, discovering hidden waterfalls and caves, and take a refreshing swim at Leng Oung waterfall while a traditional bamboo soup and BBQ is prepared for you all. After lunch, you'll continue your trek to the picturesque Leng Ken before heading back to Pou Tang Village, spend some time relaxing and having fun with your guide's family before returning to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

Your final phase will be in Kampot, to soak up the laid-back charm of this riverside town, where life flows as gently as the river itself. Your base is perfectly situated to enjoy the tranquil scenery, with lush greenery, colonial-era architecture, and a vibrant local culture creating a picturesque backdrop. Interwoven into these days will be a full-day tour of Kep, a charming coastal town. Visit the bustling Crab Market, famous for its fresh seafood delicacies, before taking a short boat ride to Rabbit Island, for an afternoon lounging on its pristine beaches, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the island’s relaxed vibe.

Back in Kampot, you’ll embrace the town’s natural beauty with a paddleboarding adventure along the river. As you glide through the calm waters, you’ll pass dense forests, mangroves, and traditional fishing villages, gaining a unique perspective on the local way of life. Evenings are a chance to unwind by the river, enjoying the golden glow of the sunset reflecting on the water.

For a touch of excitement, you’ll be able to spend a day at the waterpark, a lively escape perfect for letting loose. Rounding off the day with a BBQ boat trip, where you’ll feast on delicious local flavours while floating along the serene waterways, making it a truly memorable experience.

On your final day, you’ll bid farewell to Kampot and head to Phnom Penh, where vibrant markets and a special farewell dinner will close this unforgettable chapter of your adventure.
