Get off the beaten track and discover Cambodia’s countryside on this adventurous 2-day cycle tour from Phnom Penh. We cycle on small trails and back roads past limestone kasts on our way towards the coast.
This morning you spin away from the early morning hustle and bustle of Phnom Penh to Cheoung Ek, more commonly known as the ‘Killing Fields’. This is where Khmer Rouge prisoners were forcibly marched and then executed; it is now a memorial site located in a beautiful tranquil setting.
After some contemplation you continue pedaling south and after a short route along almost traffic-free dirt roads and some lightly trafficked tarmac roads you will arrive at Tonle Bati, a riverside location where we will have time to explore the small yet picturesque Angkorian temples of Ta Prohm and Yeay Peau.
Continue to cycle south towards Takeo, en-route visit Chiso Mountain, where you can climb a 180-step to the top of the mountain to explore the well-preserved ruins of a 10th century Angkorian temple. Enjoy an amazing view over the typical Cambodian countryside.
After lunch, we continue riding towards a sleepy Takeo and passing some amazing lake scenery surrounded with paddy fields. Upon arrival you will check in homestay.

After a good breakfast we take a short transfer into the countryside to the starting point. We then start riding the back roads pass villages and rice fields. The topography that will be forever etched in your mind is that of a sprawling countryside of fields and palm trees. We ride slowly, taking pictures along the way and taking in the stunning vistas.
Kep was a popular seaside resort with Cambodia’s elite in the 1940s-60s, but it was abandoned during the Khmer Rouge period. Today it is experiencing a revival with many of the empty, decaying villas being restored into delightful hotels. Kep is also famous for its seafood, which you can taste at the numerous beach-side restaurants.
