Saigon to Angkor Cycle

A great way to discover these two amazing countries is by bike. We start out from Saigon where we mount our bikes and head to out to the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels. We enjoy the hospitality of our host family in the Mekong Delta before crossing into Cambodia and visiting the amazing splendours this country has to offer including the incredible Angkor Wat temple complex. This is neither an endurance test nor a marathon survival race from one point to another, and we try to avoid the busy, major highways. We ride instead on the back roads and, supported by a back-up vehicle, experience the best that Vietnam and Cambodia have to offer in a most interesting way! There are some days where there is no cycling involved. On the cycling days, we tend to ride anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, however the support vehicle and bus are always on hand if you decide that you would like to rest instead of cycle.

Please note that this itinerary may vary slightly, depending on the cycling capabilities of your group.

      The cycling is relatively easy, as the terrain is very flat, but will certainly be more enjoyable for those who do some training or recreational cycling leading up to the trip.  Take a good poncho!

      Do not expect that a few cycles on the weekends leading up to the trip will be enough. Do some training
