    Cambodia + Laos in 10 Days

    10 days
    Cambodia
    Laos

    Two of mainland Southeast Asia's most gentle and spiritual countries connected by the mighty Mekong. This route pairs Cambodia's temples with Laos' laid-back river culture and French-colonial charm.

    What's the best 10 days route?

    Siem Reap/Angkor (3 days) → Phnom Penh (2 days) → fly to Luang Prabang (3 days) → Vang Vieng or 4000 Islands (2 days). Both countries are relaxed, affordable, and deeply Buddhist.
