Mekong Delta Region

This is a fascinating ride through the labyrinthine network of waterways and accompanying tracks, trails, and paths that cover an area from Cambodia to the South China Sea, offering fine relaxed cycling and insight into lives not normally seen.

When we set out to explore the Mekong Delta Region we were looking for a cycling tour with a laid back attitude, little climbing, and comfortable accommodation. We had little idea as we left behind the teeming traffic of Saigon that we would find all of these attributes and so much more in a unique maze of inland waterways the size of Belgium. Inaccessible to those not prepared to put a little effort into their exploration this is a region that can only properly be explored by boat, by foot, or upon two wheels. If you are looking for a cycling holiday light of hills and full of the excitement of exploring a region seldom visited this could be just the adventure for you.

Highlights

• The exploration of a fascinating region of Asia that due to the need for a little effort to get around is almost untouched by tourism.
• An insight into the lives of the Mekong boat people, fishermen, and farmers.
• Finish the tour afloat as we take in the view from the river during a half day boat journey on The Mekong.
• Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), a city whose name conjures up images of a cosmopolitan colonial past, the ravages of war, and a bright economic future.
• Enjoy the local food of the Mekong Delta Region.
