Cambodia Cycling Adventure

Starting at a very sleepy Thai border that skirts the foothills of the Cardamon mountains we ride deep into the Khmer heartland to explore rural Cambodia. Discover the fading colonial outpost of Battambang and journey by boat across the Tonle Sap (Great Lake), which is the beating heart of agricultural Cambodia.

The highlight is, of course, riding amongst a thousand years of history at Angkor and we take three days to explore the extraordinary temple complexes before taking another boat south.

Enjoy the French colonial charms of Phnom Penh, before riding back into the countryside where we discover a people as beautiful and extraordinary as their land. Riding the quiet back roads south, we take time to stop and take in the great views that abound on the way to the old French Colonial retreat of Kep. We have time to relax today, as we spend the morning on Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island), a wonderful tropical island just a short distance offshore. After a picnic lunch on the beach we head back to the mainland and continuing to Kampot. We also have a day to relax at the beach in Sihanoukville before a final day cycling in the Kirirom national park. We then fly back to Bangkok to end a truly memorable trip

TRIP PROFILE:-
We ride just under 600 km mostly on a mixture of tarmac roads in reasonable repair and red vehicle width dirt trails. Most of the rides are on flat terrain, except day 1 and 2 where the road does undulate but nothing too difficult, through some very pretty and interesting countryside.

Outside of Phnom Penh traffic is light and we often share the roads with ox carts and other cyclists. The trip is point-to-point and fully supported by air-con minibus (no of vehicles depend on size of group) and will shadow us for the entire journey.

This ride is mainly on quiet back roads and we try to avoid the highways where possible. Getting out of Phnom Penh will require caution and this section can be transferred for anyone who does not feel comfortable.
