To plan my tour, I have made a map.
While the main purpose is to see
and understand the wild nature, I do intend to see just a few of the
numerous pagodas and temples along the road. The fact that I only can
obtain a one month visa make the tour significantly shorter than
intended.
There is a list
of the fixed sights below the map. The nature will be scattered
all along the route.
I will reach Cambodia in the dry season - along with
everyone else. It is also the cooler month, but it ought to be around
comfortably 25C. Only the western highlands and the north-eastern corner
should be colder.
