Siem Reap and Angkor

Siem Reap is slowly regenerating its 1960’s popularity and is increasingly becoming the epicentre of the newly reborn Cambodia.

The main excitement for travellers visiting Siem Reap is its close proximity to the temples of Angkor Wat, although it does have other key areas of interest from the rice-paddy countryside to the main small, quaint fishing villages.

For ornithologists, there is a bird sanctuary near the impressive Tonle Sap Lake.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap is a charming yet exciting city, teeming with stunning landscapes, historical treasures and vibrant cultures. It is easily worthy of a few days on any Cambodian or South-East Asian holiday.

The Temples of Angkor are an influential spiritual source reflecting the bygone era of Cambodia. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was once the spiritual and political backbone of the once vast Khmer empire.

Paul Craven

Paul is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Central Asia and the Silk Route.

I first travelled to Vietnam in 1988, when tourism was barely a concept, and have been visiting Central Asia since it was still behind the Iron Curtain. Such first-hand experience makes all the difference when talking to clients. I know the importance of asking questions, not taking the first answer as gospel, and matching the right destination to the right person.

Clare Wiggins

My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
