Vietnam to Cambodia Cycle Ride
12 – 23 February 2011
Back through popular demand, this challenge takes you through two of South East Asia’s most fascinating countries.
Starting in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and finishing at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, you will experience breathtaking scenery, timeless traditions, ancient temples and the warmth of the local people.
Cycling from Vietnam to Cambodia
On this cycle ride from Vietnam to Cambodia travel through beautiful rural landscapes dotted with ruins of ancient civilisations and small towns where Buddhist temples nestle amongst graceful French colonial buildings and ramshackle houses.
Our challenge takes us from Vietnamese Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, through the rice-paddies and waterways of the beautiful Mekong Delta into Cambodia. We pedal on through this friendly country towards one of the most impressive sights in Southeast Asia, the Royal Temples of Angkor Wat.
