Cambodia Bike Ride
3 - 12 November 2012
Register now!
This exciting bike ride will take us from Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh
City (Saigon) to the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia
which is justifiably regarded as one of the wonders of the
world.
En route, we’ll experience some of the most breathtaking scenery
in South East Asia, timeless traditions, ancient temples and the
warmth of the local people.
On the day of arrival in Saigon, we have time to
explore this fascinating city - the heart and soul of Vietnam.
Well worth all the hard work. The scenery was beautiful and the feeling when we finished the ride was incredible
The following day we begin the ride by heading out of the
city towards the Cu Chi Tunnels - an incredible underground network
used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.
The route then takes us through rural villages and past emerald
green paddy fields towards the Vietnam / Cambodia border at Moc
Bai. En route we also have the opportunity to visit the Caodai
Great Temple - one of the most striking structures in the whole of
South East Asia.
Once into Cambodia, we cycle through arid countryside on flat
terrain through sleepy back waters reaching the Mekong River
at Neak Loung.
The final days of the ride see us cycling though endless paddy
fields and rubber plantations dotted with palm trees ending up in
Kompong Thom - a former French trading post on the Mekong and
the third largest city in Cambodia. Here we finish and
celebrate the end of this truly memorable ride.
