CAMBODIA – Wonder of Ancient World
Cambodia is one of Indochina's most fascinating destinations. The country’s unique Khmer culture, which thrived between the 9th and 14th centuries, has remained very much in tact. The magnificent temples, forests with giant tree roots draped over sandstone Buddha faces, banyan trees and lines of celestial nymphs, which appear on 100-meter friezes, have won the Angkor region the top archeological site in South East Asia and one of “the Wonders of Ancient World”. The capital, Phnom Penh, with traces of its former splendors still visible at the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, continues to amaze tourists with its contrasting architecture of ancient Khmer temple structures and classic French colonial buildings.

LAOS – Land of a Million Elephants
Laos remains a stronghold of tradition and is one of the secrets in South East Asia. This country offers great natural beauty with unspoiled mountain, plateau and river regions. The capital Vientiane and Luang Prabang, the former royal capital, are two of the many highlights in Laos. Visitors can jungle-trek, ride elephants in the Bolovens Plateau area or kayak on a 12-kilometer stretch of the Nam Song River. For more laid-back lifestyle activities, choose a day trip to the dazzling Pak Ou Caves on the Mekong or a city tour of the old capital Luang Prabang, one of the best-preserved traditional cities in South East Asia.
THE RICHES OF THE MEKONG RIVER
Mekong River is the 12th largest river in the world, but in terms of historic, cultural and ecological richness-the Mekong has no equal. It runs through China's Yunan province, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The Mekong River is a lifeline to many people and cultures and was once the center of trade routes and fishing villages. The temples and fishing villages remain untouched through several centuries and the most distinct area of the Mekong is shared between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Now is time to go to Indochina. It is an alluring, peaceful and safe destination with its fascinating history, cultural and artistic treasures, exotic and fabulous food, and friendly people.
So go! Join us in this exciting journey to discover the home of great diversity from glorious cities to archeological ancient sites, the fascinating floating world of the Mekong to the breathtaking, enchanting landscapes of the central highlands and mountains, and more than anything else to meet warm and friendly, as well as reserved and dignified, people who make Indochina a real and welcoming experience
