HEALING HOLIDAYS-cambodia private tours

Don’t hate on me just yet! I’ve got good reason. See, there’s a company called Giant Ibis that, alongside their day buses, has night cambodia private tours  buses running in three slots in the evening. They have reinforced safety precautions, which include having two drivers ever-present, as well as forcing drivers to drive slower at night. Not to mention, these buses come along with Wi-Fi and power sockets for you to charge your devices as well. See, you can be sure to rest easy on this one.

If you’re in a group and not prone to motion sickness, you can always try taking the taxis as well. I say that because they aren’t afraid to hit the gas, so while you’re going to get there in top time, you might just be feeling a little sick. You’ve been warned, fair traveller.

HEALING HOLIDAYS can arrange a 7-night Body Cleanse Detox Programme stay at Villa Stephanie, Brenner's Hotel and Spa from £4367 per person. Price includes flights, airport transfers, and accommodation in Stephanie Classic Double Room with Full Board meals.

Independent travellers should rock up at Rabbit Island, which is super-lo-fi and laidback, with rustic wooden beach huts and cobbled-together beach restaurants where you eat fried crab with your toes in the sand. Angkor Wat travel package

It's time to rethink Paphos. Cyprus's seaside city is set to remind us how it was once a star of the Mediterranean, before it became overrun with package-holiday crowds - it is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage City, with a rich history and humbling Roman remains. Right now it is gearing up for a year of more considered diversions as it becomes one of Europe's Capitals of Culture in 2017. The idea is to transform the city into the Open Air Factory - a living museum of vibrant, dynamic art, with dance recitals on street corners, independent film screenings on the golden-sand beaches, makeshift contemporary art exhibitions popping up among the quite extraordinary mosaics.

Much of the topography of the country is flat and consists of rolling plains with a lot of the land given to rice production. The area had been one of the most forested in the region, but that is beginning to change rapidly. The Mekong River extends from the north to the south of the country and is significant because it is navigable for most of the way. The largest lake in the country is Tonle Sap which lies in the northwest; its size swells during the monsoon season because it is connected to the Mekong River and when the Mekong rises, it feeds into the Tonle Sap River and then into the lake which subsequently swells according to how much the river has overflowed its banks.

Our tips: Go out of season to avoid the holiday crowds and get a dose of culture in Paphos (stay at The Almyra, a fabulous Design Hotel on the seafront which is hosting archaeology workshops and art happenings throughout the year), then head off and explore Cyprus - to the beaches or the hills. Cyprus has just about the sunniest climate in Europe, warm even in winter; and it's super-good value, too.

Of course, that’s not the only temple you day tours in Siem Riep Cambodia  should see. Other incredible temples include Angkor Tham, Bayon Temple, Banteay Srei, and Ta Prohm, which, if you didn’t know, is the filming location of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider! Don’t miss this chance to wander around in the midst of Angelina Jolie’s ethereal, lingering presence. I know I did.
