At Asia Backroad, our cycling tours offer more than just adventure, they’re often life-changing. Whether you’re seeking a fresh perspective, meaningful cultural connection, or a break from routine, our fully supported trips let you focus on the experience, not the logistics. We work with local guides for authentic insights and ensure fair treatment and pay for all local staff. Our tours are designed to inspire, challenge, and reconnect you with the world on two wheels.

At Asia Backroad, our focus on authentic, off-the-beaten-path travel keeps costs low without compromising the experience. We prioritize local stays and cultural experiences over luxury extras. Key highlights are included in your tour price—many of which other companies charge extra for while optional activities give you flexibility and control over your budget. We pass these savings directly to you, offering great value and unforgettable adventures.

Our prices are highly competitive and packed with value. Unlike many other tour companies, Asia Backroad includes accommodation, transport, and expert local guides in one affordable package. Each tour clearly outlines what’s included, so you know exactly what you’re getting, no hidden costs, just authentic experiences.

At Asia Backroad, we’re committed to responsible tourism that benefits local communities and protects the environment. We support local businesses, use eco-friendly practices, and promote cultural understanding through meaningful, respectful travel experiences.

Our prices reflect the high quality and personal experience we offer. While comparable to other companies’ ‘Comfort’ tours, Asia Backroad provides better value with smaller group sizes, more attention to detail, and a more authentic, immersive travel experience. You’re not just paying for a tour, you’re investing in a truly meaningful adventure.

You can pay for your Asia Backroad tour using Visa, MasterCard, or bank transfer. If you encounter any issues during payment, feel free to contact us by phone or email, we’re happy to help!
