What's It All About
Get off the beaten track in Cambodia as we blaze a trail from the glories of Angkor to some of the less known and visted Khmer sites,pedal by the side of the Mekong to the capital city then sweep southwards through rural provinces to finish by the tropical beaches of Sihanoukville.
This is a real journey of discovery pedalling along quiet back roads and passing through sleepy villages you'll see the beauty of rural Cambodia up close and experience a the pace of life that has not changed much since the time of the Khmers.
See some of the best Khmer ruins, far from the madding crowds that now dominate Angkor and experience a real thrill as you explore off the beaten track. Our cycling route is varied and fascinating whether it's on jungle tracks up a pilgrimage mountain, cycling by the Mekong river or along the beaches of the tropical southern coastline you will experience a side of Cambodia seen by few others.Coupled with time spent relaxing in Siem reap, Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville this is a superb way to experience one of Asia's most captivating countries.

On the Bikes
There will be early starts on cycling days. We operate a sweep system whereby the truck that carries the equipment, water and snacks will be out front as the lead vehicle. One of the guides will be the front marker – no one can go in front of this guide. We also have a back marker with the private bus in the rear.
It is not a race and every 20Km or so we will pull up off the road to allow the back of the group to catch up, refill our water bottles and eat some snacks before setting off again. Lunch will invariably be a picnic at the side of the road and we expect to reach our night destination late afternoon. Every evening there will be a briefing as to the next day’s logistics’ and timings.
