Cambodia Discovery

The very best way to discover the charm of Cambodia, that captivates every visitor, is by bicycle, following minor roads and dirt trails. This exploratory mountain bike ride takes you from the capital, Phnom Penh, through rural countryside, characterized by verdant rice paddies dotted with iconic sugar palm trees, to the Gulf of Thailand coast, then across the great Tonle Sap lake to the ancient historical sites of Angkor. Along the way you will experience the warmest of close contacts with local people who live in a world that time seems to have left behind by the world, and tread the powdery white sand of the country's best beaches. You can explore the charms of French colonial-era towns that are only now unmerging into the limelight with vibrant artistic communities, and make a boat trip across the extraordinary Tonle Sap Lake, South East Asia's largest inland body of water. Finally you can explore the wondrous historic monuments of the Angkor kingdom around Siem Reap, including several of the lesser visited temples... all by mountain bike.
