18 days
Tripcode: AOC
Journey down the Mekong and through two of Asia's most fascinating
countries
Charming, tranquil, laid back Laos is many people's favourite Asian
destination. We adapt to the pace of life by cruising slowly down
the Mekong, exploring river caves and admiring the temples in dreamy,
monastic Luang Prabang. Away to the south is Cambodia, a country
shaped by tragedy, where everyone we meet will have a story to tell.
From Phnom Penh's wide boulevards we head north to Siem Reap with
two full days to discover the magnificent Khmer ruins of Angkor.
