Angkor Wat without the crowds
 |
Their way... |
|
Angkor Wat and the main temples attract over a million tourists each year bringing problems of overcrowding to many sites. The mysterious and tranquil atmosphere can be overshadowed by bus-loads of tourists and the chatter of tour guides if you don't time your visit right.
Many young guides qualify each year but are still taught identical tourist routes and timings. Without the skill of an expert guide you feel more like being channeled through the corridors of the Vatican, rather than exploring the vast 200 square kilometers of temple-studded forest. Typical tour companies will take you to Phnom Bakheng packed with tour groups for sunset, touristic floating villages and souvenir shops paying commissions to bring tourist parties. But not all Angkor tours are the same… |

Our Way |
|
Timing is everything. Experience South East Asia's most amazing and incredible places following our extensively researched and thoughtfully crafted crowd avoidance routes. ABOUTAsia conducts scientific footfall surveys at key temples such as Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon, so unlike other tour operators we know exactly when they are at their quietest. Take in the 'must see' sites, but at uncommon times of day. Our Guiding Research Centre also seeks out special places away from the crowds. Our hand selected guides know the back entrances, when the light is at its best for photography and secret secluded temples that even many guides aren't aware of! ABOUTAsia employs this careful service to all journeys throughout all places of Cambodia. |
