route & tour description

Nik likes relaxed travels, and visiting places off the beaten path. We planned a 17 day trip for him keeping these in mind, taking him through Cambodia and South Vietnam.

Cambodia’s stops were all interesting, as the modernity of Phnom Penh contrasted well with the small town of Battambang and chic Siem Reap. In South Vietnam he stayed in Ho Chi Minh City, venturing into the Mekong Delta from there, and finally catching some sun at the beach town of Mui Me to relax for some days. All along, Asia Someday ensured he had a hassle-free, memorable trip.

Phnom Penh

Once called the Pearl of Asia, Phnom Penh was marred by the impact left behind by war and revolution. Yet, like a phoenix, it has risen from the ashes to become the hip and happening capital of Cambodia. It is known for its impressive culture and architecture, religious significance, pre and post colonial history, royal heritage and its nightlife! And whenever you had enough of the city life, you can simply hop on a ferry across the Mekong to experience simpler country life and nature.
