Road Bicycle from Angkor to Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia 9 Days

Embark on an extraordinary 9-day Road Bicycle from Angkor to Sihanoukville tour, a meticulously designed adventure that offers a comprehensive and exhilarating journey across the heart of Cambodia. This tour is perfect for road cycling enthusiasts seeking to combine physical challenge with deep cultural immersion, as you pedal from the ancient wonders of Angkor to the tranquil beaches of the southern coast.

Your cycling odyssey typically commences near Siem Reap, the gateway to the legendary Angkor Archaeological Park. The initial days are often dedicated to exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site by road bike. You'll cycle along well-maintained roads and paths, visiting iconic temples such as the majestic Angkor Wat, the enigmatic smiling faces of Bayon Temple within Angkor Thom, and the atmospheric Ta Prohm, where jungle trees embrace ancient ruins. Cycling through the park provides a unique perspective, allowing you to absorb the historical grandeur at your own pace while avoiding the crowded tourist buses.

From Siem Reap, the route transitions south, taking you through diverse Cambodian landscapes. You'll cycle on national highways and quieter provincial roads, experiencing the vibrant tapestry of rural life. Expect to pass through endless rice paddies, traditional villages, and bustling market towns. A significant segment of the journey often includes passing through or making stops in provinces like Kampong Thom, where you might have the opportunity to explore the ancient pre-Angkorian complex of Sambo Prei Kuk – a serene and historically rich site far from the main tourist throngs.

The journey continues towards Phnom Penh, Cambodia's vibrant capital. While some tours cycle directly into the city, others might use support vehicles for city transfers to focus cycling on the more scenic rural routes around the capital, such as the Mekong Islands. After experiencing Phnom Penh's dynamic energy and historical landmarks, your route will then lead you towards the southern coast. This leg of the tour is particularly rewarding, as you cycle through provinces known for their unique industries. You'll likely pass through Kampot, famous for its world-renowned pepper plantations, and Kep, where you can witness the lively crab market and enjoy fresh seafood. The final days of cycling might include challenging but rewarding climbs, such as towards Bokor Mountain with its breathtaking coastal views, before descending towards the coast.

The ultimate destination is Sihanoukville, where your epic 9-day road cycling adventure concludes. Here, you can relax on beautiful beaches, reflect on your incredible journey, and perhaps take a well-deserved dip in the azure waters of the Gulf of Thailand. This tour is a profound exploration of Cambodia's history, culture, and natural beauty, offering an unparalleled active travel experience for discerning cyclists.
