After finishing the Vietnam photo tour, five tour guests left Hanoi with me to participate in the optional Cambodia extension. The weather was really heating up in Cambodia, as it always does in April, but the high temperatures didn’t put a damper on the group’s enthusiasm. We explored all the major Angkor era sites as well as some off the beaten track temples and witnessed ceremonial baths given by a famous Buddhist monk, in the days proceeding this year’s Khmer New Year celebration. Additionally, we visited the Tonle Sap village of Kompong Kleang, where the water level was at an incredibly low level. This unusually low water level revealed the amazing height of the stilted houses, which during the rainy season, have water lapping at the front porches! I hope you’ll enjoy these 38 photos from Cambodia.<\/p>\n
