Cambodia holiday for under 30s
Highlights
Bangkok | Siem Reap | Angkor Wat | Kampong Cham | Chambok homestay | Phnom Penh | Ho Chi Minh CityDescription of Cambodia holiday for under 30s
This Cambodia holiday for under 30s will have you chilling on beaches, exploring temples, living it up in the big smoke and eating cheap and tasty food galore. And even better, you’ll do it along with a bunch of like minded young travellers, and you’ll have a group leader to show you what’s what.Kicking off your tour in Bangkok, you’ll have time to explore the Thai capital at night before heading for the Cambodian border and your next destination - Siem Reap and the legendary temples of Angkor Wat. Next stop? The laid back town of Kampong Cham, where you can get around by bike. Then you’ll make for the little rural village of Chambok. This’ll be your chance to really get to know the locals, as you’ll be bedding down in a homestay and enjoying traditional Khmer food courtesy of your hosts.
The bright city lights of Phnom Penh provide stark contrast to your rural idyll, and you’ll get the chance to learn more about the dark history of the Khmer Rouge as well as explore some of the city’s fine architecture. Moving on you’ll spend your final days in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a fun and frenetic city that offers plentiful foodie and cultural adventures.

Small group adventure
What is a small group adventure?It's a great way to travel! Whether you are travelling on your own, with a partner or with friends, a small group trip is a fantastic way to see the world. You'll travel on a fixed itinerary that has been designed to help you discover the best of region. From the known highlights, the hidden gems that you won't find in the guidebooks.
Itineraries run on set departure dates, accompanied every step of the way by an English speaking local group leader. You chose the itinerary and the date that suits you best and you book on.
Why travel on a small group adventure?
Small groups allow us to explore where larger tour groups can't. Our maximum group size of 16 travellers allows us to use local transport to get from A to B, to visit rural villages, spend time with the locals and even stay at a local home overnight, and it allows us to give our travellers genuine, real life experiences of the countries we are visiting; what you'll be doing and how you'll travel depends entirely on your chosen itinerary.
Is an adventure right for me?
The word adventure means something different to everyone, and our range of trips reflects that. Whether you want to explore local markets, visit out of the way temples and meet local people or go on an early morning safari drive searching for the 'big five', we'll have a trip for you. If you are looking for a physical challenge such trekking the Kokoda Track or summiting Kilimanjaro, we can help with that too.
So what can I expect on this trip?
This is one of our Basix trips, designed specifically for budget travellers who still want the security of group travel without lots of added inclusions. These trips don't have many included activities and meals are rarely included in the price, giving you the opportunity to search out local restaurants and sample regional specialities to your heart's content. The amount of free time in these itineraries means that the Basix trips often appeal to younger travellers looking to explore independently and tailor the trip to your own interests. You often won't spend too many days in any one place and you'll pack lots of different locations into your holiday.
As you might expect, accommodation on a Basix trip will be fairly basic! We'll stay in 1-2 star accommodation, often including homestays and there may be nights where the group stays somewhere multi-share / in a dormitory-style. Most accommodation however will be twin share; with solo travellers automatically roomed with a fellow group member of the same sex, this means that there are no single supplements on Basix trips.
On camping trips you will be expected to help out around the camp; putting up and taking down your own tent, helping with meals and other camp duties. We often find the nights where we are without a few creature comforts are those that are most amazing; wild bush camping in Serengeti anyone?! We'll use local transport where ever possible which is a great way of seeing the country and meeting locals as we travel.
Can I book my flights with you?
Yes! We are a fully ATOL bonded tour operator meaning that we can book flights from the UK as part of your holiday package. Just ask us for a quote including flights when you make your enquiry.
Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.
In the destinations we travel to, we adopt a "take in, take back out" approach, especially when visiting fragile environments, remote areas and national parks. In an effort to reduce single-use plastics during our trips we also provide our travellers with reusable bags. The private transportation we use on this tour carries a large tank of drinking water and travellers are encouraged to bring their own re-usable water bottles in order to refill them. Therefore, reducing the number of single-use plastic bottles disposed of by our travellers.We encourage all accommodation providers on this trip to follow water-saving policies. In bathrooms at hotels there are notes advising how to place your towels if you don’t require new ones. This lowers the amount of unnecessary laundry being done and reducing the water usage of each group. These notes also include reminders to turn off running water while washing hands and brushing teeth.
The Impacts of this Trip
We employ predominantly local staff and leaders within our operational teams. We also design and operate our trips to feature local suppliers or suppliers who directly benefit the local community and economy.
This trip includes a meal at a training restaurant, where disadvantaged youths are trained to be chefs, wait staff and bartenders. They are prepared and assisted to enter the work force both in local hotels and restaurants, as well as international venues. By dining at a training restaurant, our travellers ensure the sustainability of this model of education and empowerment of local people.
Our philosophy is to act local and that means respecting the local traditions. During this trip you will learn more about the lives of real Cambodians during a homestay visit. In the peaceful village of Chambok, local hosts will share their customs and daily activities with travellers. A guided walk of the village, traditional meal, dancing and overnight stay in a stilt house allow travellers to gain greater respect for the Cambodian way of life.
