The route takes you through narrow roads and lanes, past banana plantations, fields of sugar cane, through the lush green landscape of the delta, crossing rivers and canals by numerous, ubiquitous, fascinating ferries. A section of biking cuts off road onto gravel and dirt lanes, and weaves around hamlets, across water channels, and through quiet dense vegetation, a pretty tree lined town with a large population of ethnic Khmer. Overnight in hotel in Travinh.
Day 3: Travinh – Cantho
After breakfast at your hotel, the last short boat trip will be reached Vinhlong, one of the famous fruits town in Mekong. You bike along narrow country lanes, easy dirt tracks and trails. This is biking at its most glorious-through tiny orchards, witness colorful life along the riverside, pedal pass picturesque delta homes, pause to chat with welcoming villagers, clack across innumerable wooden bridges. Ride final few km to the very pretty Khmer town of Travinh. There will be plenty of time to explore side tracks and trails as the cycling distance today is not far. This gives a great first impression of the “heart of Mekong”. Overnight in local hotel in Can Tho.
Day 4: Cantho – Chao Doc
Today is a long day from Can Tho to Chau Doc border town.

After around 20km transfer by bus we reach to the Vietnam and Cambodia land border and you will welcome by our Cambodian team who will be waiting for us. We then head off through the lovely rural landscapes of Cambodia. At the small town of Takeo we load up into the buses, which take us the remaining distance to Phnom Penh, stopping en route to visit the infamous Killing Fields.

After breakfast at hotel, we will start our ride to Battambang. Battambang is Cambodia’s second largest city and like the remainder of this beautiful gentle country, Battambang has recently re- opened to the outside world. One fortuitous result of its isolation and lack of development is that Battambang has some of the most well preserved colonial French buildings in the country. We will find local people here to be extremely friendly, they have not been exposed to many foreign visitors and they will be as interested in us as we are in them!
Day 8: Battambang to Siem Reap by Boat & Cycling

This area is unspoilt and very traditional and it’s a lovely quiet ride to savour before reaching to our hotel.
