Naga (Dragon)
N?ga (Sanskrit) Indonesian: naga, Javanese: nogo, Khmer: neak) is the Sanskrit and P?li word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very large snake, found in Hinduism and Buddhism. In myths, legends, scripture and folklore, the category naga comprises all kinds of serpentine beings. Under this rubric are snakes, usually of the python kind (despite the fact that naga is usually taken literally to refer to a cobra,) deities of the primal ocean and of mountain springs; also spirits of earth and the realm beneath it, and finally, dragons. In Indian mythology, Nagas are primarily serpent-beings living under the sea. However, Varuna, the Vedic god of storms, is viewed as the King of the Nagas, ie. Nagarajah. So, Naga symbolizes of water, primordial Wisdom and in psychoanalysis.

At Spirit Asia Travel, however, we believe that it is important that you have a good experience as at the end of the day who wants to cut corners and risk ruining a once in a lifetime opportunity? We ensure that your holiday is carried out with minimum impact to the environment, we pay our guides well so that they enjoy their job, they all speak very good English and we ensure all our vehicles are of a good standard. We book restaurants that are of a high quality and take time to do routine hotel inspections. Please also bear in mind that Cambodia is a popular place for tourists and many hotels, flights etc get booked up months in advance, so to avoid disappointment and the chance of spending your holiday tying to book your holiday, we recommend booking as much in advance as possible, then you can sit back and relax.?
- What if I have special needs for the adventure??
If you have special requirements – for example, if you have a large group or young children, if you are handicapped or have physical limitations, if you have special transportation needs, or if you are vegetarian or have other food allergies – please let us know, and we can work with both you to ensure that we can meet your needs.?
- What happens if something goes wrong during the trip?
We try our very best to ensure the smooth running of your trip but some things are taken out of our hands. Before your holiday we will email you out of hours emergency contact numbers so that in the unlikely event of a problem occurring you can always contact one of our staff. We also provide you with the cell phone number of your consultant so that if there is a problem you can call them and they will be able to help. All our guides are first aid trained and if there is a medical problem we will help to get you the assistance you need (providing you have adequate medical insurance). We ensure that we have your emergency contact information for someone at home so they can be contacted if necessary. For any more questions please email office@spiritasiatravel.com and someone will get back to you shortly.

Our 'Rock your life' group of nine had the privilege of experiencing Cambodia under the skilful guidance of Mr. V., Spirit Asia Travel.
Mr. V. has the ability, through knowledge and absolute passion, to bring 1000 year old monuments alive!
Beware, the love he has for his country and his people will rub off! But hey, never try, never know.
I had better start saving for my next trip!

Mr V was a superb guide both at Angkor Wat and thoughout Cambodia. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and also knows how to show you where to boogy! Touring with a "real Cambodian" added huge value to my trip.
