Cambodia is a country just brimming with colourful culture and breathtaking sites all steeped within a rich and often dark history.
Learn more about the devastating Khmer Rouge regime, who turned the country into a graveyard for nearly two million people, including their own members and even some senior leaders. The almost mythological temple of Angkor Wat is unrivalled in its breath-taking beauty and architectural magnificence. Breathe in the history as your students explore what was the centre of the Khmer Kingdom for several centuries.
