A Culinary Adventure

On this trip you will be guided by an English speaking chef who knows all about the local ingredients, the local specialties and the most appealing food combinations the region has to offer.

The tour starts in Luang Prabang where you visit, next to the highlights of the area, organic farms and a buffalo farm. You help out and prepare your own meals, enjoy picnic lunches near temples and on boats and meet the local people at their homes to “steal” their recipes they guard for generations.

You continue your flight to Cambodia and walk through Phnom Penh, see the local markets and learn all about the spices. Help out in the paddy fields in Kampong Chhnang and cycle the backroads of Siem Reap in search of great picnic spots and cook with the locals your lunch and dinner.

Imagine enjoying a conversation with a monk about Buddhism or having a home-cooked meal on the grounds of an ancient temple. It may all seem small compared to the grand attractions with their thousands of visitors, but these activities open up more than just the eye. A world of understanding evolves after, which makes your trip more meaningful and more beautiful.

Our travel experts have seen and done it all. This is how we live our lives and this is how our travel experts want you to experience our destinations, which we proudly call our homes.

Length of Tour: 14 days

The tour can be extended with a visit to the Mekong Delta for example where we can learn more about the Vietnamese kitchen. Of course we could end at the beach in front of Cambodia’s coast for a few days relaxation.

What does our expert say about this tour?

“This tour makes me smile. When I read this program I know how much fun there will be along the way when this program is traveled. Everywhere there are hidden surprises. I already imagine myself after a day in the field with the chef and some local people we met that day, sitting at a local restaurant and cheering with a local beer. The shrimps, the soup, the fresh vegetables being served and we eat and laugh till late at night. That is what this kind of tour brings along; friendship, knowledge and fun. A tour like this is nowhere near the experience people would have when they have a general tour around any country. These activities and visits go very deep and really connect you with local life. The mutual respect between guest and host will be tremendous and on top of that you take something home that no one can ever take from you: knowledge to pleasantly surprise your friends and family at the dinner table!”
