Discover Vietnam and Cambodia on a Cycling Tour
A cycling tour through Vietnam and Cambodia is a great way to explore stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. Travellers will have the chance to ride through rice fields, lovely villages, and along beautiful coasts while tasting delicious street food and meeting friendly locals. This journey promises unforgettable memories in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Why choose a Vietnam and Cambodia cycling tour?
Opting for a cycling tour in Vietnam and Cambodia brings numerous advantages. First and foremost, biking allows travellers to access rural areas, charming villages, and hidden paths that are often unreachable by cars. This means they can truly see the heart of each destination.
Riding a bike also lets travellers go at their own pace and engage more deeply with the local way of life, as travellers stop spontaneously to chat with villagers or pause to take in the scenery. The connections with locals will leave them lasting memories, as they experience their culture firsthand. Plus, cycling promotes sustainability, allowing travellers to leave a smaller carbon footprint during the trip.
Experience the best of Vietnam and Cambodia by bike
The journey starts off in the Mekong Delta, where vibrant orchards, lush rice paddies, and the unique riverine life await. The Mekong River is not just a means of navigation; it’s a lifeline for many who call this region home. Travellers will ride alongside the delta, seeing local people at work and learning how important the river is for life here. They might even get the chance to taste fresh fruit straight from the orchards.
As the trip continues across Cambodia, they can immerse themselves in the rich Khmer culture. Explore the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor on two wheels, where the majestic ruins stand in stark contrast against the surrounding jungle. The Vietnam-Cambodia route offers a diverse experience, showcasing the stark contrasts between the Mekong Delta and Cambodia’s countryside and temples.
Along the way, they might discover hidden gems like small local markets and quiet temples. Each stop tells a story, and every bike ride opens up new sights to explore.
What makes this Vietnam-Cambodia itinerary special?
The blend of cultures that travellers will experience on this route is unparalleled. From bustling floating markets to serene boat rides, visiting artisans at work, wandering through local Khmer pagodas, and engaging in natural interactions will enrich their understanding of these vibrant cultures.
They will also have the chance to witness and join in hands-on activities, such as the coconut candy-making process or honey harvesting, which will make wonderful memories. Every experience helps build a connection to the places they visit, making the journey even more special.
Who should embark on a cycling holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia?
This cycling adventure is ideal for explorers seeking off-the-beaten-track experiences, nature lovers, and cyclists who appreciate the sustainable travel options, making a positive impact on the places they visit.
With cycling distances ranging from 30 to 70 kilometres per route, the route requires travellers to be ambitious and have good health. But don’t worry, this is not a race; there will be many unpredictable stops along the way for them to take a sip of drink or just admire the scenery, which will ensure that they will not exhaust themselves after a cycling route. Besides, our support vehicle and experienced tour guide will always be available along the way to solve any urgent situations and support exhausted cyclists. They also take responsibility for keeping the bikes running without any errors, which ensures a safe and convenient cycling experience.
Best time for a cycling tour in Vietnam & Cambodia
The best time to embark on this cycling adventure is during the dry season, which runs from November to mid-May. During this period, there will be a lack of rain, which keeps the road dry for safer travel. Besides, low humidity will help cyclists avoid a muggy atmosphere, enhancing their durability.
This period is quite fit for all destinations due to geographical similarities. However, Cambodia will start to heat up in March, so it’s advisable that travellers are well-prepared for the trip.
