12 Beautiful Pictures of the Cambodian Countryside

Millions of tourists flock in Siem Reap every  year to visit  the famous UNESCO World Heritage temples of Angkor. While these temples are the highlight of every tourist visiting  Cambodia, the countryside of Siem Reap tends to be overlooked and only a few chooses to explore off the beaten track and get to experience the beauty of Cambodia’s authentic rural lifestyle.
About  five kilometers away from the  busy Siem Reap downtown area, one can find picturesque and tranquil scenary of villages with small traditional  houses scattered throughout the expanse of the countryside. People are warm and they are almost all the time happy to pose for photographs. Main photography themes would be landscape photography of the  green paddy and lotus flower fields, farmers working in the plains, amazing sunsets, and portrait opportunities of kids from the village.
Angkor Photography Tours offers photography tours in Siem Reap to photography enthusiasts who wants to see and capture rural living.
These photographs were taken during our  tours and will hopefully entice you to take a day or two of your visit in Siem Reap to explore the lovely Cambodian countryside.
