Northwestern Cambodia

The temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia is a cultural gem of exceptional beauty, and one of the most significant religious monuments in the world. It is also the largest in the world.  

Battambang, fertile and verdant, the northwest province of Cambodia, known as the "rice bowl of Cambodia," is an enchanting place where rice fields, jungle, and mountains offer landscapes worthy of a postcard.  

Koh Ker, the former capital of the Khmer empire (928-944), is a major archaeological site in northern Cambodia. Its isolation, in the heart of dense jungle, gives it a magical atmosphere.  

Preah Vihear, a Cambodian province bordering Thailand, takes its name from the famous temple Prasat Preah Vihear, or "sacred sanctuary." This place is dedicated to this ancient Hindu temple, which is its spiritual heart.  

In the northwest of Cambodia, Siem Reap, a city and province, opens the doors to Angkor, an ancient city where the stones still whisper the grandeur of the Khmer kingdom.
