From $2,150 per person twin share | 8 Days
Learn about Cambodia’s culture and history from the local women’s perspective
Discover the lives of Cambodian women from the 7th century to the 1970s under the Khmer Rouge on an eight-day expedition. With an all-women group and female leader by your side, you’ll roll around the street food markets of Siem Reap and the temple ruins of Angkor on the back of a tuk-tuk with a female driver. Have a home-cooked dinner with a local family at an off-the-beaten-track homestay, go on a private boat trip on Tonle Sap and try your hand at hyacinth weaving at the Rokhak Women Handicraft Centre. Then, toast to your adventure over dinner at a social enterprise empowering local youth with training and employment.
