delightful. (more)Lynn Lovelock

Memorable parts?
There were so many! The walks through food stalls, the cooking lessons, the impromptu stops of the bus to get more street food and going to a BBQ with locals at Siem Reap.
Tips?
Its a jam packed itinerary so if you need lots of downtime, it's probably not for you.
Local benefits?
Yes

It was really great. The only recommendation I'd have is to add in an Angkor beer tour in PP. (more)Lauren Supplee

Memorable parts?
Visiting the desert, the wonderful Adobe accommodation nearby, the fantastic locations for sketching and the visit by camel riding off into the sunset in the sand dunes and staying overnight in a Nomad's Tent to watch sunrise.
Tips?
Please dress warmly if booking for March, as even though the sun shines, it can be quite cold. Take lots of photos - locations for sketching are very inspiring. Absorb the atmosphere.

The minority villages as not many westerners get to see this part of China. They welcome you into their houses and although they have very little they gave us some oranges.

You will have a wonderful time. You have to be prepared to rough it a bit but its well worth it.
A fascinating journey.
