day 1

PHNOM PENH

Welcome to Cambodia! Our adventure begins with a welcome meeting tonight at 18:00. If you have some free time in the afternoon, perhaps take a stroll through the streets of Phnom Penh and explore the city, admiring the interesting French colonial architecture. Phnom Penh is located at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, and life is centered around the bustling riverside area. This evening you might join the locals as they come out for some fresh air, grab a snack from a street vendor and enjoy some impromptu entertainment by the waterfront, or head to the rooftop bar of the Foreign Correspondent Club for a drink and some river views.

There are no meals included on this day. It is very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are delayed, please notify the travel agent or the hotel reception. Ask the reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. If you wish to spend more time in Phnom Penh, we would be happy to arrange additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).

day 2

PHNOM PENH

We begin our mountain biking adventure by crossing the river with a local boat and then cycling through the villages on an island in the Mekong River. The island is renowned for silk weaving, agriculture, and aquaculture. Stop to watch the local people at work in the village and enjoy riding on quiet roads through orchards and rice fields. Later, return to Phnom Penh for a free afternoon at your leisure. The tour leader can help you organize many optional activities or you are free to explore at your own pace. Phnom Penh remains a living relic of the country's past struggles, with the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek narrating the story of the bloody legacy of the Khmer Rouge. Alternatively, you might visit Wat Phnom – the temple that led to the city's founding in the 15th century.

Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner not included. Included activities: Phnom Penh - Mekong Island by bicycle. Optional activities not included. The total cycling distance today is about 25 kilometers (15 miles). Helmets are provided for today's cycling activities.

day 3

KRATIE – KOH TRONG

This morning we leave early for Kratie (about 6 hours). Along the way, we pass through Skuon, a small town known for its unusual delicacy of tasty spiders. Continuing to the town of Kratie on the banks of the Mekong. Board a local boat from Kratie's waterfront to Koh Trong for your homestay: about 280 families call this 6-kilometer island home. The island is renowned for growing citrus pomelos, among the best in Cambodia, as well as rice and other agricultural products. Your host family provides a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in everyday Cambodian life, and tonight you will enjoy a traditional Khmer dinner. With hammocks hanging beneath the house, this is the perfect place to relax. Take a pleasant bike ride around the island's perimeter through traditional Khmer villages.

Breakfast and dinner included. Lunch is on your own. Transfers included. Activities included: Koh Trong - Cycling. Depending on the season and the river level, it may be necessary to walk a stretch of beach and take a local bicycle to reach the destination. The total cycling distance today is 9 kilometers (6 miles). Helmets are not provided for today's cycling activities. In your homestay tonight, the facilities are basic and shared with mattresses, bedding, and mosquito nets provided.

day 4

STUNG TRENG

After breakfast, we'll take a guided 1-hour walk, where we'll have the chance to see how the locals live and learn more about the local culture in this part of Cambodia. During the days of the Khmer Rouge, much of the island's forest interior was cut down. The village inhabitants started a plantation project at Wat Ty Pram Kbal Koh Trong in response. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to the project by helping to plant a tree on the pagoda grounds. Afterwards, bid farewell to the island's hosts and return to the mainland. There's time to stroll along the river boulevard and explore the local market of Kratie before traveling for 2.5 hours to Stung Treng. Stop at Wat Phnom Sambok, an 18th-century Buddhist monastery, along the way. Perched on top of a hill, climb to the top to admire the surrounding lush forests. Also enjoy an optional lunch at Kampi Creek.

Breakfast included. Lunch and dinner on your own. Included activities: Koh Trong - Village walk, Kratie - Wat Phnom Sambok Temple, Kampi - Boat trip with dolphins. Optional activities not included.

day 5

STUNG TRENG

Our journey continues in a private minibus to the village of Voeun Kham (about 2 hours). From there, we take a local boat to sail on the Mekong River to the fierce Sopheakmit waterfall. Located on the border between Cambodia and Laos, the thunderous waterfalls crashing over limestone rocks and boulders are nothing short of spectacular. We dock the boat at a local family's home and take a hike through the jungle to a refreshment spot overlooking the waterfalls. The hike will last about 2 hours. We return to the boat and continue through a beautiful stretch of the Mekong River, which is home to many bird species and the village of Osvay (about 1 hour of navigation). We cross the Anlong Cheuteal Irrawaddy dolphin pool, where on rare occasions it is possible to spot freshwater dolphins. Next, it's kayaking to paddle through this spectacular scenery of flooded forests to the village of Vuen Sien (about 2 hours). After a full day exploring this glorious stretch of nature, we return to Stung Treng by private minibus for the night (about 1 hour).

Breakfast and dinner not included. Lunch included. Transfers included. Activities included: Stung Treng - Kayaking, Steung Treng - Sopheakmit Waterfall, Stung Treng - Mekong River cruise and excursion.

day 6

SIEM REAP

This morning, we will depart for our journey to Siem Reap, traveling by private minibus through the countryside and small towns of Cambodia. We will arrive at the gates of the famous Angkor complex: with its cafes, bars, restaurants, food stalls, and drinks, Siem Reap caters to all tastes. A visit to the old market is a must, even if we're not looking for souvenirs. Wandering among the stalls and surrounding shops, we'll find silks, cotton, sarongs, silver, and statues that create a kaleidoscope of colors. After checking in at the hotel, we will be picked up by a tuk-tuk and then our leader will take us on an orientation walk to help us get to know this vibrant city.

There are no meals included on this day. Transfers included. Excursions included. The travel time today will be around 5-6 hours.

day 7

SIEM REAP – ANGKOR WAT

We will mount our bicycles and visit the temple with our local guide today for a full-day bike tour to make the most of our visit to the famous Angkor complex, built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer empire had a predominant influence in Southeast Asia. These ruins include Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm shrouded by the jungle. After finishing the temple, we will return to Siem Reap for a free evening. We might enjoy checking out Phare, the Cambodian circus. Coming from disadvantaged families, the artists have gained international recognition through their art. Like a Cambodian Cirque Du Soleil, modern Khmer tales blend theater, music, dance, acrobatics, juggling, aerial acts, and contortions.

Breakfast included. Lunch and dinner on your own. Transfers included. Excursions included. The total cycling distance today is about 30-40 km (18 to 25 miles). Helmets for cycling activities are provided today.

day 8

SIEM REAP

Since there are no activities planned for today, we can leave our accommodation at any time. If we have more time, we could schedule a zip-line adventure and a canopy walk at Angkor, a tasty Khmer cooking class, or simply relax by the pool. If we wish to spend more time in Siem Reap, please contact us.

Breakfast included. Optional activities not included. Transfers not included.

Important things to know

Trip features

Journey open to travelers with no age restrictions.

You will travel with travelers from other agencies: the larger the group, the more fun it is!

General trip information

Remember to bring a valid passport with an expiration date not less than 6 months at the time of entry into the country.

We ask you to report any food allergies and/or intolerances immediately after booking.

The itinerary may be subject to some changes before and/or during the trip.

This is an active and varied tour with a range of sports and adrenaline activities. Although no specific prior training is required, some travelers have found parts of the itinerary to be quite challenging, and a reasonably high level of physical fitness is necessary to get the most out of the experience.

You will spend a night with a local family on this trip. Although the accommodation is shared and basic, this is a great opportunity to connect with the local people (and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals!).

This journey involves some long days of driving, so a little patience will greatly contribute to your enjoyment!

Sometimes our accommodation may not have continuous hot water. Most travelers do not find this to be a problem and often wish to cool off from the heat with a refreshing cold shower!

Cambodia can get very hot, especially when traveling by bicycle. It is advisable to carry suitable clothing, sunscreen, and to always have plenty of water with you.

This journey is about respecting local cultures and sensitivities. By doing so, you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. You will visit a number of temples on this trip. Make sure to bring clothes that cover your arms and pants or skirts that go below the knees. A light scarf is a good idea to cover your shoulders and arms when it's hot.

A single supplement is available if you prefer not to share a room during this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 3 (Homestay) where you will stay in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. Please speak with your booking agent for more information.

Helmets are provided for the longer cycling activities on days 2 and 8, but not for the short bike ride around Koh Trong village on day 3.
