Itinerary

Message from Sela:

I’ve curated this trip with so much love based on my favorite places and the experiences I always wished I had when I first came to Cambodia 3 and a half years ago. And now, I’m so excited I can guide you on this personalized journey!

This itinerary is just preview and evolves as we shape it to reflect each group through your input in the Interest Form!

This is a unique experience for koun Khmer as we explore the motherland together, some of us for the first time ever! There will be moments that move us, memories that surface, and stories that connect us. That’s why throughout the trip, we’ll hold reflection circles, a space to pause, share, and support one another as we navigate this journey of reconnection and healing as a community. Because this truly isn’t just a trip, it’s a life-changing homecoming.

A Journey Through Cambodia

(Past, Present, and Becoming)

We begin in Phnom Penh.

We’ll first explore the history of Cambodia’s capital, where we’ll see how the country’s past is still visibly woven throughout the city.

Learn about the historical significance of the Independence Monument and Wat Phnom pagoda.

Get a taste of home as we crawl through Phnom Penh’s local street food scene and shop at a local Market. (This is your chance to practice your Khmer!).
Learn about Buddhist rituals and take part in a traditional Khmer Buddhist offering ceremony, meditate at a local pagoda + Q&A with Monks. Watch here
Reflect on our collective history of the Khmer Rouge at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, with group reflection and support circle.

Watch the first few days in Phnom Penh from our Dec 2025 trip in our YouTube Vlogs here

Next, we head west to Battambang.

🎶 Oh, Battambang 🎶— Sinn Sisamouth

One of my favorite places in Cambodia! A city that still feels like we’re in srok Khmer “back in the day”. It has that small town vibe with deep historical roots.

Engage in the local livelihoods of everyday people in the Battambang countryside while riding with your local motorbike driver, taking in the beautiful landscapes along the way.
Ride the “Norry” bamboo train at golden hour taking in breathtaking views of rice fields and local villages (and getting waves from the cutest little kids).
Uncover the Khmer Rouge’s impact in the region from the Killing Caves to Wat Samrong Knong, one of the oldest pagodas in Battambang.
Visit the Phnom Sampov mountain known as “pearl of Battambang” and witness the natural phenomenon of the Bat Caves at sunset.

See us explore Battambang and farm rice (our guests’ favorite part of the trip) in Vlog 3 here

Then, we journey to Siem Reap.

The land of Khmer Angkor and spiritual heart of Cambodia where you’ll feel the true depth of your Khmer pride.

Witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat and explore our ancestral temples with a local guide.
Cook traditional Khmer food together in a hands-on class.
Take a boat ride through the floating village communities leading into the Tonle Sap River.
Immerse yourself in traditional Khmer Apsara dance performance
Taste the local Siem Reap flavors of the famous Preah Dak village
Rest and recharge with free time to shop for souvenirs at the local markets, get a relaxing massage, try a Khmer ceramics class, chill by the hotel pool or explore!
*Activities subject to change

Return to Phnom Penh to reflect and look ahead.

We will return back to where we started to honor what we’ve experienced, and dream forward.

Visit the city’s modern spaces and creative hubs
Final shopping for gifts & souvenirs to bring back home
Farewell dinner and final reflections
