A morning transfer takes us out of the city and to the start of our ride along the coast. We cycle past Ke Ga Cape near the Ta Kou National Reserve as we ride north to Phan Thiet. A white sand beach is waiting!

Our route starts along the coastline, but then we begin our climb to Dalat. We ascend a total of 3,216 m on quiet roads, and we'll take many breaks, including one at Dai Ninh Dam. Enjoy the colonial atmosphere of Dalat.

We cycle downhill, descending a total of 3,620 m! It is also a picturesque ride through numerous plantations of the Central Highlands. We descend to Di Linh and end at our resort in the Madagui forest.

Cycle directly from the hotel into the foothills of the Annamite Mountains, passing ancient Hindu archaeological sites. Enjoy a challenging climb to a plateau overlooking the green hills of the frontier. Tonight, we will stay in the town of Phuoc Long, site of an important battle in the Vietnamese-American war.

Day 6

Today, we depart Vietnam and enter Cambodia! After crossing the border, cycle into the sparsely-populated Cambodian frontier country on a nice descent, followed by rolling terrain. Meet friendly locals in the villages where we will stop for refreshments. Hop in the van for the last stretch to our hotel, which is in a market town on a lagoon of the Mekong.

Enjoy a shorter ride into Phnom Penh this morning, through villages with traditional stilted houses and colourful temples. Cross the Mekong by ferry and enter Cambodia’s capital city. Have a shower, followed by lunch, then head out on a free flow visit of the capital and its many sights. Dinner is your choice tonight; feel free to ask your guide for suggestions!

Cross the river once more and begin riding peaceful roads along jungle countryside. Explore the ancient Khmer temples of Phnom Pros and Phnom Srie. Later, visit a site of an extermination camp of the Khmer Rouge regime. Later, cycle right to the hotel, and take a break before gathering again for dinner this evening.

The most epic and exiting cycling experience I ever had! There are no words that could describe how I enjoyed those days in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Wonderful way to see the country. Local guides were very helpful and being able to eat locally was a bonus.
