Overview

Born out of the Khmer Empire, which dominated much of the region 1000 years ago, the Kingdom of Cambodia is one of the most exciting of South-East Asian destinations. This leisurely cycle tour is simply the best way to explore the highlights of a country whose chief means of transport often seems to be the bike. Starting out in Siem Reap, we are provided with our bikes and set off to explore on backroads and village trails amongst the breathtaking temples of Angkor Wat.


We also have 2 days exploring the plateau and national park of Phnom Kulen, where we can cycle on a purpose-built trail and camp out at the high point of the reserve with far-reaching views. A boat trip on the great waterway of Tonle Sap then takes us to Battambang, set in a landscape of rice fields, palm trees and pretty riverside villages. Moving on to the coastal town of Kampot, there is time for some R&R, including a boat trip to an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Then, we take another a boat ride, this time on a river, to Chi Phat on the edge of the Cardamom Mountains, where we ride on jungle trails to the waterfalls of O'Malu and to the tribal village of O'Kay. A final city tour of Phnom Penh and a sunset cruise on the Mekong River is a great way to sign off on this unforgettable adventure. A leisurely mountain biking holiday, offering the chance to experience the very best of Cambodia.

ADVENTURE CYCLING. Leisurely cycling on backroads and dirt trails between the temples and villages that we visit, this is our easiest biking holiday. We ride for an average of just 25 kilometres each day, with the emphasis on sightseeing. The more challenging days are at Phnom Kulen and in the foothills of the Cardamom Mountains, where we will encounter some slightly more rolling terrain and easy forest tracks. Clients finding any day to be difficult can take advantage of the support vehicle. Anyone who rides a bike occasionally will manage this holiday. Vehicle support is available for most of the route. Bikes (Trek 3700 with front suspension, V-brakes and Shimano components) are provided locally within the cost of the holiday.
