About

A narrow focus, done carefully

Cambodia Path plans trips to the wild parts of Cambodia beyond Angkor: Mondulkiri and Keo Seima, Kratie, the Cardamom Mountains and Ratanakiri. That focus lets us go deep on what makes those trips work.

Why this part of Cambodia

Most visitors to Cambodia see Angkor, Phnom Penh and the coast. Fewer reach the hills of Mondulkiri, where Bunong guides track wild gibbons at dawn, or the rainforest rivers of the Cardamoms. The reasons are practical: long roads, no airports, providers that each run on their own days, and confusing claims about which wildlife experiences are genuinely ethical.

Those are planning problems, and planning is what we do.

Who we are, plainly

Cambodia Path is a small, new planning service run from Europe. We are not a Cambodian tour operator, we have no office in Cambodia, and we do not employ guides or drivers. The sanctuaries, wildlife projects, community enterprises, lodges and drivers who host you are independent, and every proposal names them.

Our planning guides are researched from the providers’ own published information, official travel advice and measured road distances. Each page lists its sources and the date the facts were checked. Where we have not confirmed something, we say so.

How we plan

Four principles

  1. 1

    Time over tick-boxes

    Two nights in the right place beat one night in two places. The animals, the forest and the people all reward time.

  2. 2

    Distances measured, not guessed

    We measure road distances, quote travel times from named sources, and build in buffers where Cambodia needs them.

  3. 3

    Animals on their own terms

    We only propose wildlife experiences whose published rules exclude riding, bathing with visitors and feeding for show.

  4. 4

    Everything in writing

    One proposal with the route, price, who delivers each part, and the payment and cancellation terms, before you commit to anything.

Communities first, not as scenery

Much of eastern Cambodia is Indigenous land. We favour experiences where local people guide, host and decide, describe each project the way it describes itself, and never promise that a booking benefits a community unless the provider explains how.
