I spent six days on my own in Siem Reap, working my way through the temples of Angkor and the countryside around them, then boarded a small ship, the Jahan, for eight days down the Mekong, across the Cambodian border, and into Vietnam, finishing in Saigon. Here's how the whole trip went, day by day.

It was a very quick trip as we packed what should take 10 days into 7, but well worth it! We even flew out of Mumbai and were able to see that city for a few hours.

We have had excellent results when working with Adventure Life. We've just set up out third trip with them because the first two were great! Adventure Life has always listened, worked with us, and set up trips the way we've wanted. They've also found experiences we wouldn't have known about otherwise, that have been some of the highlights of the entire trip.
