ancient trees, the graceful shapes of Apsaras and
some temples buried in the jungle, hill tribes
settled in the remote areas, colorful pagodas,
strings of pristine islands and the century beach,
as part of cultural tour that Cambodia is proud of
her presentation, but also the splendor of the Khmer
civilization and its people who have shown their
friendliness everywhere you move in the country.
For most, Cambodia first conjures up the legendary
Angkor (the magnificent Empire erected by Kings
between the 9th and 13th centuries) that continues
to admiration from Khmers and foreigners alike. The
humanity and disaster of the nature have failed to
compromise the awe of Angkor. The temples remain
with an enigmatic grandeur, as a testimony to the
Empire that symbolized the country at the present
day.
They are the silent witnesses to the perennial
cycles of life, which occur with each rainy season.
The Kingdom emerges from its lethargy and springs
back to life. Clouds, swollen with moisture, burst
their monsoon rains to fill in the Tonle Sap (Great
Lake ) that bring over thousands tones of fresh
water fishes.
Every year, the country is transformed in a nature
cycle, which is unique to Cambodia. The flow of the
mighty Mekong River swells until it forces the Tonle
Sap to reverse its course, pushing up stream from
the ancient capital. Every year, the reversal of the
river is celebrated with the country's most
spectacular Water Festival in November.
