3 Cheap Ways to Backpack Across Israel
If you are looking for an inexpensive but satisfying backpacking adventure, you should look no further than the land of milk and honey. Israel is a backpackers dream. Not only is there so much to see without having to travel a far distance, you can do it quite cheaply in ways unique to this glorious country.
Throughout the course of my life, Israel has been a place I’ve come back to a number of times. The saying, “when there’s a will there’s a way” can actually be realized here. It always amazes me that such a small country, one that you can drive across in less than 12 hours, attracts so many visitors all year round.
For backpackers, Israel offers many ways to see the sites and experience the environment. You can always stay in one of Israel’s amazing hostels, donate your time or do something unique to Israel by volunteering on a kibbutz. The options truly are endless.
Hostel It!
Hostels and backpacking go hand-in-hand but I bring this up because I’ve stayed at some of the nicest and most unique hostels in this great land. On one of my first trips to Israel, I have fond memories of touring around the country and hopping from hostel to hostel. No dingy and uncomfortable accommodation for me here – it was sea views and great Israeli breakfasts.
For the backpacker, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to hostels in this country and all are safe and you’re welcomed with great hospitality.

Cambodia: Does this plan look ok 3
How does that look, Is it do able in 3 weeks and is it best to take buses through the main stretch from large town to large town.
In the Lonely planet book It says I can get a seat in a shared taxi from Kompong Cham to P.P for 10,000 riels (£1.50gbp) does that sound right. Posted

Your plan sounds good, but I'd opt for a bus as those shared taxis can get really packed full of people (like 4 inthe back seat). The bus takes 3-4 hours and costs around $4. When you are in the towns you can hire a moto guy to take you around to see the sites. It would be wise to ask him to provide you with a helmet.

I'd also opt traveling everywhere by bus, fastest and cheapest. If you want more fresh air travel on top of mini vans.
If you want a boat ride either charter a boat in Phnom Penh by the hour or for half a day or take the boat between BTT and Siem Reap, I think it's between 5 and 7 hours.
Some other remote temples:
Preah Vihear, from Siem Reap
Banteay Chhmar, from BTT via Sisophon, return to SR from there
Sambor Prey Kuk, from Kampong Thom
Preah Khan Kampong Svay, from Kampong Thom, near impossible in rainy season
