9 Days Cambodia Highlights Guided Motorcycle Tour 9 Days Cambodia Highlights Guided Motorcycle Tour 2403

Dirt, rivers, temples, paddy fields, mountains; this is a short motorcycle trip that consists primarily of the most adventurous routes of our ‘classic’ Cambodia Adventures motorcycle trip.
Day 1 - Arrival - Phnom Penh
You will arrive at the airport in Phnom Penh. The hotel is around a forty-five-minute drive from the airport to the city center. The tour leader will outline the rules governing traveling by motorcycle and will go over the details of the full journey again. If you have time, you can explore the city. We will meet you again in one of the many cafes along the Mekong River in Phnom Penh.

Day 2 - Phnom Penh - Kratie
An early start for a beautiful and varied day. After just a kilometre of motorcycle riding, we take a ferry to cross over the Mekong River. We ride along the Mekong River, passing through villages and many temples. We will enjoy a local lunch somewhere in the vicinity of Kampong Cham. We continue on our way, literally passing through the backyards of the local population. After visiting the beautiful Han Chey Temple, with its scenic views over the Mekong, we continue our way along the river, which we cross again towards Kratie.

Day 3 - Kratie – Kompong Thom
We will backtrack along the Mekong so we can cross the river with a ferry. Now we start a challenging journey of 190 kilometres unpaved and off-road. The track leads us straight through rubber and fruit plantations.

Day 5 - Kompong Thom - Siem Reap
As we arrive in Siem Reap from the south, we will soon spot the first impressive temple complexes of Angkor Wat. Siem Reap is one of the liveliest cities in Cambodia. This afternoon you have the time to visit the large temple complex of Angkor Wat.

Day 6 - Siem Reap – Battambang
After breakfast we ride through the Angkor Wat area towards Battambang. We try to avoid the highway by taking minor (dirt) roads towards Battambang. In Battambang, the second biggest city of the country, there are many UNESCO-protected French colonial houses along the river.

Day 7 - Battambang - Veal Veng
Even though Cambodia has received lots of tourists for many years, the Cardamom Mountains is discovered by very few foreigners. At the beginning, the gravel roads are wide and flat, but they will be getting more bumpy and smaller when we get into the mountains.

Day 8 - Veal Veng - Koh Kong
Today the route can get pretty challenging as well, especially when a rain shower has changed the surface into slippery smooth red clay. After lunch, we will look for the new Chinese road, a concrete block path that will take us to Koh Kong. Koh Kong is a small town on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, a few kilometres from the neighbouring country.

Day 9 - Koh Kong - Phnom Penh
We leave the mountains on a freshly surfaced road in the direction of Sre Ambel. It is still reasonably quiet on this section. After lunch, we continue our way to Phnom Penh. We take a look at life in the country and exchange it again for the hustle and bustle of the city.

Day 10 - Phnom Penh - Departure
You will have to get used to taking a bus again as you head back to the airport. Enjoy one last opportunity to soak in the city’s vibrancy.
