Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia: Trails of Indochina

Highlights

• With your knowledgeable guides, explore the royal city of Angkor Thom, a complex of towering temples and intricately carved terraces created by the “god-king” Jayavarman around AD 800.
• Delight in the humorous, musical, and magical performance of the Thang Long Water Puppets, an art whose origins date back to the 11th century.
• Participate in a joyful Lao Baci ceremony, a transcendent ritual meant to “call the soul” and used to mark important occasions in a person’s life.

What's this trip about?

Discover rich diversity as you trek through the heart of Southeast Asia. You’ll find it in the people, with their distinct indigenous cultures. You’ll see it in the architectural mix: traditional Khmer, French-colonial and Chinese style. You’ll savor it in local cuisines, which present a succulent balance of delicate and intense flavors at every meal. Fill your senses with exotic sights: Angkor Wat at sunrise, open-air markets brimming with colorful goods, jungle paths that open to cascading waterfalls. All around you are ancient temples, lost cities, and saffron-robed monks. Visit tribal villages steeped in ancient custom; meet local weavers and craftspeople; watch a magical water-puppet performance. One moment you’re in a cavernous coastal grotto, the next you’re walking through rice paddies en route to visit a rural school. From the joyful Lao Baci welcoming ceremony to the farewell celebration featuring Cambodian musicians, it’s a deeply rich lifetime experience.
