Day 1 - Siem Reap ( D )
We meet in the regional town of Siem Reap. People will be arriving at different times throughout the day so please meet in the hotel restaurant at 6pm for the tour briefing before heading out for our first dinner together.
Day 2 - Siem Reap (cycling 40 km) ( B , L , D )
On our first full day in Siem Reap we will spend the day exploring some of the other temples cycling around the 40km 'mini circuit' including a detailed tour of the magnificent Angkor Wat. There are over 100 temples in the area so we will visit some of the most important and learn something of the history and importance of these temples.
Day 3 - Siem Reap (cycling 70 km) ( B , L )
Rising early to watch the sunrise on Angkor Wat, continue on to the outlying temple Banteay Srei. The ride is beautiful, passing verdant green fields and lively villages. Banteay Srei is a small Hindu temple built more than 1000 years ago. Many of the carving are still perfectly preserved in the unique pink stone.
Day 4 - Siem Reap ( B , L )
Today will be a free day for you to return to the temples, explore some of Siem Reap's other sites, shop, or just relax by the pool.
Day 5 - Siem Reap to Kompong Cham (cycling 45 km) ( B , D )
Leaving Siem Reap by bus, we drive for a few hours as we head around the north side of Tonle Sap on our way to Kompong Cham, an important trade centre. Rather than drive the whole way we'll break out the bikes for the last 45km hitting a quiet back road that takes us into this peaceful town. Our hotel in Kompong Cham looks out over the Mekong River - what better place to enjoy a drink on the banks of this mighty river.
Day 6 - Kompong to Phnom Penh (cycling 63 km) ( B , L , D )
Definitely a highlight day, we ride 63km on a quiet, mostly unpaved road that follows the Mekong River on its path towards Phnom Penh. Foreigners are extremely rare through these parts so expect a few surprised faces as you ride by. Our picnic lunch is a site in itself. Relax under the shade of a huge mango tree and enjoy your view of the Mekong. The final section of this day will be travelled in our support vehicle.
Day 7 - Phnom Penh ( B , L )
A free day in Cambodia’s capital to relax from the bike and explore the city's sights. You can visit Tuol Sleng, originally a school and then a jail of the Khmer Rouge, it is now a museum documenting the atrocities committed here during the short reign of Pol Pot. There are also the many markets and temples of Phnom Penh or relax in a riverside cafe.
Day 8 - Phnom Penh to Takeo (cycling 83 km) ( B , L )
Leaving Phnom Penh we stay off the highway and take a back road to the infamous Choeung Ek Killing Fields where thousands of people were murdered by the Khmer Rouge. No family in Cambodia was untouched by terror of the Khmer Rouge and places such as Choeung Ek are monuments to those lost during this time. Back on the bikes we continue along a mixture of dirt road and highway to the quiet regional town of Takeo.
Day 9 - Takeo to Kampot (cycling 85 km) ( B , D )
Today we finally leave the flat plains of Cambodia and head towards coastal mountains - but don't worry the road passes between the hills and it's flat riding all the way. After 85km we reach Kampot, another quiet provincial town but some well preserved French colonial architecture.
Day 10 - Kampot to Sihanoukville (cycling 104 km) ( B , L )
It's the last and longest day of riding on the trip as we cycle 104km to the beach side town of Sihanoukville. Along the way we pass picturesque fishing villages, their river inlets full of colourful fishing boats. As we approach Sihanoukville there are a few challenging hills to get over before we finally reach the beautiful beach for a well deserved swim.
Day 11 - Sihanoukville ( B )
The day is yours to enjoy. Sick back on the beach or take a day trip out to the surrounding islands showing off your fantastic cyclist tan.
Day 12 - Sihanoukville / Phnom Penh ( B , L )
It's a travelling day today as we travel back to Phnom Penh in our support vehicle (4-5 hours) for our final night celebration dinner.

Today is departure day. You are free to leave at any time.
