Overview
Experience an incredible cultural journey as you pedal 450kms through remote villages, bustling markets, narrow lanes alive with activity and lush rural landscapes. Travel off the beaten track to immerse yourself first-hand in the rawness and way of life of the people of Vietnam and Cambodia.
With time to explore the timeless alleys and chic streets through the metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, you’ll start your epic cycling adventure igniting all your senses with the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the beautiful South East Asia.
Jumping in the saddle at the gate of the Mekong Delta your route winds into the heart of the maze of channels and intenseness of activity and work that seems unique to Vietnamese people. This water world is just one of many highlights of your journey where you can pedal to the rhythms of the mighty Mekong, as boats, houses and markets float upon the innumerable rivers, canals and streams criss-crossing the landscape. With taking the roads less travelled along the delta’s relatively flat terrain, you’ll experience the local way of life and the warmth and friendliness of the country’s rural hospitality.
Staying in locally owned hotels enroute, you’ll also have the chance at the end of each day’s ride to share stories over a delicious authentic meal in a local restaurant.
With crossing into Cambodia there’s time to visit the Killing Fields to learn about Cambodia’s turbulent past under the Khmer Rouge regime. The final stretch takes you through lush jungle landscapes to Siem Reap and arrive near the Western Gate of Angkor Wat. Watching the sun set over the sugar palm trees marks a memorable finish to an incredible journey on two wheels.

Today’s journey is spilt into two sections and is a contrast to the previous day’s ride. After a very early breakfast, you’ll cycle along a narrow paved road via Cai Rang floating market, the largest floating market of the Mekong Delta. Being a wholesale market, you’ll witness the bustling hub of locals trading with much produce grown locally.
Weaving through morning bustle along the banks of the river, take the time to absorb the sights of endless colourful stalls, cottage industries, timber merchants, coconut shredders, small docks loading and unloading rice. After visiting An Binh market, continue cycling to Phong Dien Village. Here the floating market sells not just agricultural products, but also household and working tools such as canoes, boats, hoes, fishing nets and locally made weaving products.

After a short early morning transfer (approx. 30 mins) to Tri Ton to avoid the traffic, your route starts to gently undulate and mountains begin to loom as you ride closer to Chau Doc. The presence of Thot Not trees indicates the growing proximity to Cambodia and the local people speak Vietnamese as their second language. Cycling via the Killing Fields of Vietnam at Ba Chuc, where Pol Pot’s regime massacred over 3,000 Vietnamese in 1978, is a real insight into the country’s harrowing past. Continuing along incredible country roads to arrive in Chau Doc, a small town on the banks of the Hau Giang River (Bassac River).

Phnom Penh. Arriving in time for lunch near the riverfront, there’s time to immerse yourself in the town’s colonial atmosphere and buzzing local life. In the afternoon, visit the Killing Fields to learn about Cambodia’s turbulent past under the Khmer Rouge regime. Although a harrowing past, a visit here is eye opening and will instil a new level of respect to those Cambodians you encounter who are over the age of 40 given that they have lived through the oppressive regime and yet remain as resolute and beautiful as ever.
Tonight, you will be treated to a delicious Khmer welcome dinner on out hotel rooftop with fantastic views over the city of Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh – Kampong Thom (cycle 70kms)
This morning sees an early start with a transfer (approx. 77 km) north taking you past an ancient Japanese bridge to arrive at the village of Skuon, known for its fried spider trade. Whist it’s completely your choice if you wish to sample this ‘delicacy’, we don’t encourage it given that the sustainability of this trade is uncertain as the spiders are caught in the wild. Over-hunting coupled with widespread deforestation is putting pressure on the tarantula population and the industry is entirely unregulated.
From Skuon you’ll continue on to Thnong village where the team are ready for you to start the next leg of your two-wheeled journey. Cycling through tropical countryside of rich forests and rice fields creates a sea of green stretching as far as the eye can see. This fertile region is also the home of many of the old Royal Palaces. Arriving Kampong Thmor, a picturesque town on the banks of the Stung Saen River and the famous Tonle Sap Lake, this region is one of the best areas in Cambodia for rice cultivation and fishing to support the needs of the province.

It’s then a final 31km transfer to Domdek village where the team and the bikes are ready for your next cycling leg.
It’s then time to jump back in the saddle for your 66km journey connecting the provinces of Kampong Thom and Angkor Wat travelling deep in the countryside of Cambodia. Stopping for lunch in Rolous Pagoda, one of the oldest and most famous Buddhist monasteries in the area, the road then continues through beautiful landscapes and villages heading towards Siem Reap. This area is unspoilt and traditional as you journey in to the heritage site lined with temples and creatures, a fitting entrance to this unique and spiritual city and one to savour for many years to come. On reaching the finish line, located a short distance from the Western Gate of Angkor Wat in the open field its time to celebrate and reflect on your incredible journey as you watch the sun set over the sugar palm trees.

After breakfast at your hotel, you’ll be transfer to the famous temple is Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat itself is just one of the many temples in the region but is one of the best preserved and most impressive. It is worth climbing the remarkably steep and narrow steps of the central spire for the view over the whole temple surrounded by jungle. Continue to Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII. The city is surrounded by an 8m high wall; each side of the city is 4km long. It draws a perfect square on the map and you can access the town through five gates; four of gates used for exiting the dead out of the city.
After passing through the south gate, you will go down along this shady road to the Bayon temple. This temple lies exactly in the centre of the city. The particularity of this monument is the 54 towers representing the 54 provinces of the ancient Great Khmer Empire. Each tower has 4 Bayon faces. This is the only temple in Cambodia depicting scenes of everyday life at the time of the empire. Also not to be missed is the temple of Ta Prohm, which has been left to be reclaimed by nature and features incredible tree roots breaking through the stone carvings and walls, a fascinating tribute to the power of nature and an experience reminiscent of ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Tomb Raider.’
Early evening transfer to Siem Reap International Airport for your return flight to the UK.

I’ve done two major long haul activity trips with Adventurous Ewe (Costa Rica and Vietnam/Cambodia) and they are excellent! Meticuluous planning, detailed communications and quick response to any questions make them a standout. They also personally try the trips they sell and ensure they use the highest quality in country support/operations. I can’t recommend them enough.

What a great travel experience this was!! From the very first moment of booking, Adventurous Ewe were friendly, approachable and had great communication. The trip itself was just perfect with a great balance of cycling and learning about the local culture in both countries by stopping at various places to watch how people make a living from different crafts. The local guides in both countries were fantastic! We were really looked after during the days with ample drinks and snacks and a tasty lunch provided at a local restaurant. Anyone with food allergies or preferences was always catered for. All of the hotels were a good standard and group evening meals gave us a chance to chat and make friendships that are likely to last beyond this trip. I would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in learning about the culture in Vietnam and Cambodia. Days were long but the cycling not difficult- it’s a great way to get away from tourist hotspots. And Adventurous Ewe made the trip extra special with the amount of organisation and personal feel they brought. I will definitely be booking a trip with them again in the future!
