Cycling tours in Cambodia

Get to know Cambodia on a cycling tour

Typical regions and cities for a cycling tour through Cambodia

The kingdom, populated by around 15 million Cambodians, offers vacationers a diverse landscape, wild mountain and coastal regions, and vibrant cities. A cycling tour in Cambodia usually takes you away from the busy roads on narrow paths through green rice fields, remote villages, densely forested areas, and past unique rocky coasts or sandy beaches. Starting points or destinations for cycling tours through the Kingdom of Cambodia include:

• Siem Reap in the west
• the centrally located capital Phnom Penh
• Kampot and Kep on the coast in the south of the country
• the islands in the Mekong River and rural areas on the border with Vietnam

A competently guided cycling tour through Cambodia shows you highlights that remain hidden on independent tours. Language barriers are overcome thanks to Cambodian-speaking guides. Experience the unique fascination of a rapidly changing capital city and its overwhelming array of historical and modern sights. A few days later, learn how Cambodian families go about their daily lives and visit the excitingly beautiful temple complexes in the Siem Reap region. Cycle through the coastal landscapes of southern Cambodia, past the home of the world-famous Kampot pepper to less frequented beaches with fine sand and crystal-clear water. Discover the mother of all Southeast Asian rivers, the mighty Mekong, and visit its picturesque islands within sight of the Vietnamese border.

Sights, culinary highlights, and a great atmosphere

Join us on one of our most beautiful bike tours! On this guided tour in Cambodia, you will meet warm-hearted, friendly, and helpful people. An important difference to Thailand: a Cambodian smile is sincere and not just a polite gesture without meaning. It is only natural that people will invite you to eat and drink with them on a bike tour through rural regions. English is widely spoken as a second language, and older Cambodians also speak French. If communication difficulties do arise, they will be resolved by the multilingual tour guide.

Cambodian food is exotic, varied, often spicy, and always freshly prepared. The national dish of the kingdom is called amok, a delicious curry dish made with fresh coconut milk and a choice of seafood, fish, or meat. Lok Lak is also widely available, consisting of seared beef, spicy sauce, embedded in salad leaves and garnished with onions. Cambodians eat soups in a wide variety of variations in the morning, but also between meals, often in combination with rice. They eat with a spoon and fork, chopsticks or simply with their hands. When eating in restaurants, tips are customary and welcome.

A cycling tour through Cambodia will introduce you to many sights. In the Siem Reap region, the more than 1,000-year-old Angkor Wat temple complex is of course on the itinerary. Another highlight is a visit to Banteay Srei, a remote and very well-preserved temple made of pink sandstone. Listing all the sights would be too extensive, so for Phnom Penh, we will only mention Wat Phnom, the Silver Pagoda, and the Royal Palace. On the way from the capital to Kep, the Tonle Bati Pagoda is well worth a visit.
