3 Days Kep Escape

Evoke the spirit of “Indochine” on this leisurely-paced tour of Cambodia which takes in the south coast gems of Kampot and Kep in addition to the main highlights. Head south to the atmospheric riverside town of Kampot, and take a tour of the colonial hill station perched on Bokor Mountain which overlooks the south coast. Continue to nearby "Kep-sur-Mer", a firm favourite of the French in the mid-20th century, where crumbling villas from the golden era lie dormant waiting for redevelopment.

All our tours are exclusive private tours, so you will not be put together with other guests.

We stop to visit the interesting cave temple of Wat Kirisan, built into the base of Phnom Sor. We travel through a small cave to a hidden chamber open to the elements, the sheer walls dripping with foliage. There are several hidden shrines here, as well as the Cave of a Thousand Rice fields, where locals claim the limestone looks like terraces. Continue to the coastal village of Kep.
