Trek through the Cardamom Mountains, cross the Mekong River in a traditional wooden canoe or swim in Tonle Sap! Whatever your choice, the landscape of Cambodia will live with you forever. People Cambodia is the home of the Khmer people. The Khmer have a vibrant culture and are famous for the warm hospitality they show to their guests.
