This segment is crucial for experiencing the true essence of rural Cambodian life.

The "Cambodia Cycling Holiday" also extends to other significant regions, including the relaxed charm of Battambang, known for its colonial architecture, vibrant art scene, and the unique bamboo train. You'll also explore areas around the magnificent Tonle Sap Lake, observing the fascinating floating villages and the unique aquatic ecosystems that sustain local livelihoods.
