Phnom Penh Cycling To Siem Reap – 3 Days

Day 1: Cycle to Oudong 70km, Transfer to Kampong Chanang

8:00 AM Meet at your hotel in Phnom Penh and head straight out from Phnom Penh into the stunning landscapes of rice and coconut trees as we make our way to Oudong Mountain via Phnom Basset. We stop to enjoy fresh watermelon along the way as well as a range of other tasty local snacks. As the day wears on, we see a hill suddenly jut out of completely flat countryside and this is Oudong, a great place for a meal and a great place for a view of the plains. After lunch we take a drive up to Kampong Chhnang, the home of Cambodian ceramic pottery and genuine floating villages.

Meals: L, D

Day 2: Cycle Kampong Chhnang & Battambang 40km

We start the day with a pedal around Kampong Chanang to see what village life in this area means. We’ll see the pottery villages from which, terracotta pots of all sizes are distributed throughout Cambodia. We visit an abandoned airfield from the Khmer Rouge times and we might even try out hand at some farm work, time permitting. We then take a drive to Battambang, a rural centre and home to some interesting french architecture. We take an afternoon ride to see some of these buildings and then take a ride on the famous Bamboo Train.

Accommodation: Hotel in Battambang

Day 3: Cycle Battambang 30km, Transfer to Siem Reap

As we wake on our third day, you will be wishing it not to end, but there is still time to learn about the village industries of Battambang. For this we meet up with a local university student who will show us around the villages just outside Battambang. The ride is on a lovely route along the river with lots of shade. We stop to see rice paper making, banana drying, rice wine and prahok production, as well as a stop at the best snack stop in all Cambodia, the kralanh shop. Here we try sticky rice with coconut and beans which is prepared in a bamboo tube. We return to town in the late morning and after lunch make our way to Siem Reap in the support vehicle. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your Siem Reap hotel.
