Itinerary
We meet in the charming town of Hoi An, which was one of Southeast Asia's major trading ports during the 17th and 18th centuries, for a welcome dinner and trip briefing.
We ride to see My Son, the ancient centre of the Cham civilization. Although many of the temples were destroyed during the war, there is still enough to impress most visitors.
We start the morning with a pleasant ride from Hoi An to Tam Thanh where we eat lunch and spend time admiring the beautiful beach. We then transfer to the infamous My Lai, site of one of the worst massacres of the American/Vietnam War.
We leave the coast and head into the central highlands towards Quang Nam and on to Kon Tum. We have a pass to conquer today, Violak Pass (1300 m above sea level) but then are rewarded with a 20-km descent.
We cycle through Jarai and Bhanar villages and see communal houses with very steep and tall roofs. Next, we enter tea and coffee plantations before reaching Pleiku, home of the best coffee in Vietnam.
After breakfast, we head to the border with Cambodia. Start riding to Banlung, one of the most far-flung of the Khmer provincial capitals and spend the night in rustic surroundings.
Day of relaxation to enjoy a morning market or take a picnic lunch and explore the mysterious crater lake of Boneng Yeak Laom or just enjoy staying at the lodge where we meet up for dinner.
Get back in the saddle to Stung Treng province along a rustic highway. Ride through rice paddies and stop to enjoy the simple pleasures of rural life as we cycle towards the setting sun. Tonight, experience delicious Khmer food paired with very personalised service at Tonle Tourism Training Centre.
We cycle through rural villages then board a boat at Kratie to enjoy an afternoon cruise on the Mekong River to see the endangered Irrawaddy dolphins. At night, enjoy views of the Mekong from the rooftop terrace of your hotel.
We take a ferry across the Mekong to Chhlong and ride pass French colonial houses and Buddhist pagodas. Then cycle up to Wat Han Chey, an 8th century pre-Angkor temple, to enjoy a picnic lunch and stunning views of the Mekong.
We ride over dirt and tarmac roads along the Mekong to Kampong Thom, a picturesque town on the banks of the Stung Saen River, which hosts a magnificent Khmer temple site.
We transfer to the ancient bridge at Kampong. Later, ride to Domdel village and transfer to Siem Reap to our overnight hotel.
We start our ride to the Angkor Wat complex to see the biggest religious Hindu edifice in the world. We also visit Tah Prohm, famous from the film “Tomb Raider”. We continue to Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple, ending our day with a beautiful sunset in the Angkor Park.
The morning is free until we transfer you to the airport.

Tour Operator
SpiceRoads Cycling believes there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive.
Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could.
We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross-country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have…
That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that travelling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.
