Welcome to Cambodia! Upon arrival at Phnom Penh International Airport, you’ll be greeted by your friendly local guide and driver, who will transfer you to your comfortable hotel in the heart of the capital. Take the rest of the day to relax and explore at your own pace, get a taste of Phnom Penh’s vibrant culture and prepare for the unforgettable cycling journey from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Your Cambodia cycling tour begins here!
Today is dedicated to exploring the rich cultural and historical layers of Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s vibrant capital. This guided city tour offers a powerful contrast between the grandeur of Cambodia’s royal heritage and the sobering legacy of its recent past.
Your morning begins at the magnificent Royal Palace, one of Phnom Penh’s most iconic landmarks, majestically situated at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap Rivers. Built in 1866 by King Norodom, the complex still serves as the official residence of the King. Explore the ornate Coronation Hall, the Royal Dance Pavilion, and the Silver Pagoda, famed for its gleaming floor covered with over 5,000 pure silver tiles, each weighing one kilogram.
In the afternoon, your focus shifts to Cambodia’s turbulent 20th-century history. Begin at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), a former high school turned into a secret prison and torture center during the Khmer Rouge regime. The haunting photographs and testimonies presented here serve as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed under Pol Pot’s rule. Please be advised: the content is emotionally intense and may be distressing.
Next, a short drive brings you to Choeung Ek, also known as the Killing Fields, where more than 17,000 Cambodians were executed and buried in mass graves during the Khmer Rouge era. Though the pits have faded, a towering stupa filled with over 8,000 human skulls stands as a solemn and moving memorial to the victims.
Return to your hotel for a reflective evening and overnight stay in Phnom Penh.
Your Cambodia adventure tour continues today with an unforgettable cycling journey from Phnom Penh to Kampong Cham. At 7:00 AM, your expert cycling guide and support vehicle will meet you at your hotel to ensure a proper bike fit and brief you on the day ahead.
Begin the ride by navigating through the vibrant, early-morning energy of Phnom Penh’s streets. You’ll then cross the Mekong River by local ferry, offering a scenic and authentic way to experience life on the water and glimpse a different side of the city.
Once across, you’ll cycle along quiet rural backroads, passing through peaceful countryside, traditional stilt houses, rice fields, and small villages. The ride offers genuine cultural encounters, expect friendly greetings from locals and curious children waving as you go by.
Around midday, enjoy a locally prepared lunch hosted by a Cambodian family or at a peaceful pagoda, giving you a taste of local flavors and traditions in a warm, welcoming setting.
After arriving in Kampong Cham, a charming town on the banks of the Mekong River, check into your hotel and freshen up. In the evening, enjoy dinner at a local beer garden, where you can relax and sample regional cuisine in a laid-back setting. The rest of the night is free for you to explore or unwind at your leisure.
Today’s leg of your Cambodia cycling adventure takes you deep into the heart of the countryside as we ride from Kampong Cham to Kampong Thom, following a less-traveled route filled with natural beauty and cultural significance.
We begin early, leaving the main highway behind to follow a quieter road that winds through lush rubber plantations. The ride offers a mix of dirt and paved surfaces, creating an engaging and scenic route along the mighty Mekong River. Along the way, take in views of peaceful farmland, small villages, and traditional Cambodian life in motion.
Our destination is Kampong Thom, a charming riverside town located along the Stung Saen River. The area is known for its proximity to Sambor Prei Kuk, an impressive pre-Angkorian Khmer temple complex, showcasing Cambodia’s rich archaeological heritage.
After this rewarding ride, we return to the hotel, where you’ll have time to rest and freshen up before dinner is served at a designated time. The evening is yours to enjoy, relax, explore the local town, or reflect on the cultural wonders and landscapes experienced throughout the day.
After breakfast, your Cambodia Adventure Tour continues with a road transfer of approximately 90km to Kampong Kdei in Siem Reap Province, where we begin another inspiring day of cycling. From here, we set off on a peaceful, tree-lined red dirt road, far from the crowds and surrounded by authentic Cambodian rural life.
This lesser-known route offers a more personal and immersive cycling experience. As we pedal through beautiful traditional villages, you’ll see locals going about their daily routines and experience the warmth and simplicity of Cambodian hospitality.
Our first rest stop is at the historically significant Makak Water Reservoir, a somber site built during the Khmer Rouge regime under Pol Pot. Today, it serves as a place of reflection for survivors and a reminder of the resilience of the Cambodian people. It’s a moving and meaningful stop that adds emotional depth to your journey through the country.
Though just 60km from Siem Reap Town, this route is rarely traveled by tourists, making it a unique and off-the-beaten-path highlight of your Cambodia cycling tour.
We continue riding toward Siem Reap, gateway to the majestic temples of Angkor, where you’ll check into your hotel and have the evening free to rest or explore the lively town.
You’ll begin pedaling toward the Angkor Archaeological Park via the Angkor Pass checkpoint, your gateway to one of the world’s greatest cultural treasures.
As you cycle along scenic, shaded backroads (with occasional gentle bumps), the adventure unfolds with visits to a series of remarkable temples: Prasat Kravan, Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm. From here, continue cycling to the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire Angkor Thom. Enter through the South Gate, a monumental stone arch carved with elephant motifs and four giant serene faces include Bayon Temple, Terrace of the Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King.
After your morning ride through the spiritual and architectural wonders of the Khmer empire, enjoy a traditional Cambodian lunch at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, the journey continues with an in-depth visit to the magnificent Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and a symbol of Cambodia. Take time to explore its grand galleries, towers, and intricate bas-reliefs that depict scenes from Hindu epics and Khmer history.
As the day winds down, cycle back and return to your hotel, filled with unforgettable memories from one of the most iconic days.
Today’s cycling adventure takes you beyond the temples and into the heart of Cambodia’s countryside. Pedal through scenic rural landscapes on quiet backroads as you make your way from Siem Reap to Kampong Phluk, a traditional fishing village on the edge of Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake.
Along the ride, you’ll pass the Rolous Group temples, some of the earliest permanent structures built during the Angkor period, dating back to the 9th century. These lesser-visited ruins were once part of Hariharalaya, one of the first Khmer capitals.
Your destination, Kampong Phluk, offers a rare glimpse into authentic Cambodian life. Here, entire communities live in stilted homes and floating villages, adapting ingeniously to the rhythm of the lake’s rising and falling waters. A boat trip on Tonle Sap takes you through mangrove forests and local waterways, providing an intimate look at traditional fishing techniques, floating schools, and how locals sustain their livelihoods.
After your exploration, return to Siem Reap by private vehicle, closing another memorable day on your cycling journey through Cambodia.
Enjoy your final morning in Cambodia with a relaxed and enriching half-day countryside cycling tour from Siem Reap. After breakfast, you’ll set out from your hotel and ride northwest along peaceful dirt paths that wind through the heart of rural Cambodia.
This ride offers a truly authentic look at local life. As part of your journey, today is all about slowing down and connecting with the people, landscapes, and traditions that make this region so special.

After your ride, return to your hotel in Siem Reap. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure, perhaps visit a local market, get a massage, or simply relax by the pool.
