Cambodia Real Food Adventure – 8 Days
Street food, Kampot pepper, Kep crab and Angkor in a group of up to twelve.
Tour overview
This 8-day adventure explores Cambodia through its food, from street stalls and markets to family kitchens and pepper farms. A local leader travels with the group, which numbers no more than twelve. You stay seven nights in hotels, with six breakfasts, three lunches and three dinners, many at social enterprises.
After a welcome dinner in Phnom Penh, you explore the city’s history and take an evening tuk-tuk street-food tour. Travelling south to Kampot, you visit the crab market at Kep for lunch, breakfast at a social enterprise café and join a cooking class at a pepper plantation using the region’s famous Kampot pepper.

Heading north via Kampong Chhnang, you reach Battambang, then Siem Reap. In the village of Preah Dak you join a family for a traditional breakfast of num banh chok rice noodles, explore the temples of Angkor and finish with a plant-based farewell dinner.
The physical rating is low. This trip suits food lovers who want to discover Cambodian cuisine with local people.
