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, leave 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. Then continue pedalling south and after a short ride along almost traffic-free dirt roads and some lightly trafficked tarmac roads you will arrive at Tonle Bati. This pleasant riverside spot is where you will have lunch, before exploring the small yet picturesque Angkorian temples of Ta Prohm and Yeay Peau.
After lunch continue cycling south towards Takeo and experience Cambodian local life by spending the night at Meas Family Homestay, located in the outskirts of a small village in Takeo. Staying with the Meas family is a unique way to experience authentic village life in Cambodia.
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.
