Back in the 1960’s Phnom Penh was bulging at the seams as peasants from the countryside and refugees from across the border sought refuge from the overspill from the war between the US and Vietnam. By the middle the 1970’s its population had reached two million. Four years later, it was a few thousand!
In April, 1975, the Khmer Rouge, in its insane determination to create a peasant nation of uneducated peasants working the land, ordered the entire population of Phnom Penh to leave the city within 48 hours, and then attempted to raze it to the ground.

This land-locked mountainous country is gaining a reputation as an ecotourist destination. Its many rivers criss-crossing the country and unspoilt national parks are ideal for activities such as trekking, kayaking and caving. The capital, Vientiane, and the other major towns have been spared major modern developments with traditional and colonial architecture still dominant. |

Captivating Cambodia is a land of beautiful temples, wild jungle and unspoilt countryside, yet still bears the scars of years of conflict. For so long off limits to the tourist trail, Cambodia began to open up to visitors again in the late 1980s. Travelers poured into the gritty capital Phnom Penh and marvelled at the jungle temples of Angkor as the Khmer Rouge militia dissipated.
