Angkor to Saigon

Two countries on two wheels. The ancient culture and hidden countryside of Vietnam and Cambodia - by bike.

Fifteen fantastic days of cycling and discovery await anyone who likes to pack in as much adventure as possible as we bike through Vietnam and Cambodia. From the day we start out at the ancient temple city of Cambodia's Angkor Wat, to the day we dismount in Vietnam's magnificent Mekong Delta, your senses will be working overtime digesting the history, culture and countryside of these two intriguing countries.

You'll see all the tourist treats Vietnam and Cambodia have to offer and, thanks to the beauty of bikes, much, much more. Both nations have enchanting, ancient histories and chilling, more recent pasts. There are some unique contrasts in cultures, customs and communities - and you'll get to experience them all.

We begin at the huge ancient city of Angkor Wat, a well travelled attraction in Cambodia, where we've planned the riding to make sure you see each of the main temples at the right time of day, where the sunlight is at its most magical and the crowds are at their smallest. Then we'll discover some of the hidden charms of the capital, Phnom Penh, with its fading colonial legacy and scenic river scape, before continuing into the country. The ancient ruins, mighty rivers, beautiful beaches, rice paddies, mountainous national parks and abandoned French hill stations are all on our route - and the excited welcome from village locals will be an experience you'll never forget.

Onto Vietnam and the backlanes of the vibrant Mekong Delta, exploring the floating markets, sleepy villages, temples, pagodas, old houses and villas from French colonial times - all the while surrounded by the Delta's flat, lush flood plains and emerald green paddy fields bordered by tropical fruit gardens, mangroves and palms. This is a real journey of discovery in a perfect environment for cycle touring - the beauty of SE Asia up close and personal.

The terrain makes for easy cycling but this trip is still fully supported by air-conditioned vehicle, so you can ride as much or as little as you want. When you rest each evening, you'll enjoy excellent local food and the very best accommodation available.
