As you continue your journey southward, the landscapes gradually transition, eventually leading you towards the stunning coastline. You'll cycle through the provinces of Takeo, Kampot, and Kep, each offering its own unique charm – from the ancient sites around Tonle Bati and Phnom Chisor, to the scenic pepper plantations of Kampot, the majestic Bokor National Park (optional side trips), and the tranquil charm of Kep, famous for its crab market.
