CAMBODIA MOTORCYCLE EXPEDITION – RIDE FROM ANGKOR TO THE MEKONG
​Cambodia is more than temples. It is a country you have to ride to understand. From the towers of Angkor to the red-dirt tracks of the north and the slow brown sweep of the Mekong, this is the landscape that shaped the Khmer world, and the road runs through all of it.
This 8-day journey begins in Siem Reap with a full day among the great monuments of Angkor. Then the real ride starts. Swap the tourist trail for backroads, jungle trails and the sacred plateau of Phnom Kulen, before pushing through remote northern Cambodia to Ta Seng and the forgotten ruins of Preah Khan Kompong Svay. From there, turn east towards the Mekong at Stung Treng and follow the river south through Kratie and Kampong Cham, past plantations, village pagodas and timeless river communities, to finish in Phnom Penh.
With a mix of easy dirt, laterite roads and flowing tarmac, a well-placed rest day on the Mekong and daily rides of roughly 90 to 220 km, this journey is built for riders who want to see Cambodia beyond the conventional route: raw, remote and best experienced on two wheels.​
