Tour Overview
On a 250cc off-road motorcycle, this trip offers not only a challenge but also an opportunity to visit all four corners of the country. We follow narrow paths along the Mekong River to the north where we journey through the jungle. Through small trails, we find our way to the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat. Via small roads and gravel paths, we explore the Cambodian countryside, passing small villages and endless rice fields. We plow our way through the rough Cardamom Mountains and tropical rainforest. It is an extremely diverse motorcycle trip that lets you see and experience all the highlights and unknown routes of this land over three weeks.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 - 2 : Arrival - Phnom Penh
Location: Phnom Penh
Accommodation: Hotel
The tour leader will outline the rules governing travelling by motorcycle and will go over the details of the full journey.. The next day we make a sightseeing tour of Phnom Penh in order to get used to the motorcycle and the Cambodian traffic rules. In the afternoon we visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide (S-21) Museum. Between 1975 and 1979 thousands of citizens accused of counterrevolutionary thoughts were interrogated, tortured and all but seven were killed here. This former school still leaves a gloomy impression on oneself afterwards. Next, we go to the "Killing Fields" of Choeung Ek. Roughly ten kilometers outside the city, the prisoners of 5-21 were killed in the most brutal manner to save on bullets. Remains of clothing, teeth and bones are still scattered across the field. In memory of the events, a temple has been built on the site in which the skulls dug up so far are housed. If time permits, we can also visit the charming Wat Phnom temple. After this busy first day we end up at one of the many cafes along the Mekong River in Phnom Penh.
Day 3 : Phnom Penh – Kratie
Location: Krong Kracheh
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
We rise early to start a beautiful and varied day. After just a one km ride we will take a ferry to cross the Mekong River. We avoid the traffic of Phnom Penh and follow narrow paths and roads. We ride along the Mekong River, through villages and pass many temples. In Kampong Cham we have a break to get a local lunch. Then we follow on our way. We ride through the back yards of the local population. After a visit to the Han Chey temple, with its magnificent views over the Mekong, we continue our way along the river, which we cross again on the way to Kratie. While staying along the river, we will enjoy a drink at the hotel.
Day 4 : Kratie - Sen Monorom
Location: Krong Saen Monourom
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
For several years now we have had a new, adventurous route through the Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri provinces. Today we ride to Sen Monorom. This small town in the jungle is the capital of the Mondulkiri Province. First, we take the recently improved NH7 in the direction of Snuol. Next, we ride near the Vietnamese border to the east. Today’s journey is a mix of gravel roads and tarmac, through forests and along deforested farmland. Depending on the time, we will visit a small charcoal factory. Watch out for monkeys on the road!
Day 5 : Sen Monorom - Bang Lung
Location: Bang lung
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today we ride to Ratanakiri province, which is hidden in a corner bordering Laos and Vietnam. This is a sparsely populated green area with mountains, waterfalls, crater lakes and ethnic minorities ("Khmer Loeu", or "Highland Khmer"). There are also many gemstone mines. The road has recently been renewed into a good asphalt road and we ride north to the Tonle Srepok river. Next, we ride via wider gravel roads, through small villages, forests and plantations to Ban Lung. We will visit some waterfalls along the way, and we will end our day sipping our well-deserved refreshment overlooking a lake.
Day 6 : Bang Lung - Stay
Location: Bang lung
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
After the wonderful but tiring days of last week, we're taking it easy today. If you like, we can take a nice tour through the surrounding area, following narrow gravel roads and winding mountain trails near the foot of the Virachey National Park. Of course, you could just as easily decide to chill at the hotel with a book or go for a massage. What certainly shouldn't be missing from our program: a fresh swim in – or at least a visit to - the beautiful crater lake Yaklom. This is 4000 years old, and the lake is very popular with local families to picnic.
Day 7 : Bang Lung - Stung Treng
Location: Steung Treng Province
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
As nature awakens, we prepare ourselves for another adventurous day. We leave on time for our trip to Stung Treng. If the water level is low enough, we ride via Siem Pang and cross the Tonle Kong river to ride through to the Laos border. An alternative is we proceed further South, via the newly asphalted route 78. This area was bombed by the Americans during the Vietnam war. There were several "Ho Chi Minh paths here, routes that the North Vietnamese used to supply southern lines. Stung Treng is a characteristic place with its own atmosphere.
Day 8 : Stung Treng - Ta Seng
Location: Ta Sêng
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Early in the morning we cross over the Mekong River and set our course towards the west. For most of the morning, we will be on a bumpy road which leads us over small tracks through rice paddies and dense vegetation to Anlung Chrey. Here we will take a break. We will continue our adventure route through the countryside and ride along the Boeng Peae Wild life Centre to end our day in Ta Seng; this is a very remote settlement. It has some impressive temples and hardly any tourists.
The support car will not always be with us, so the mechanic will be on the back of the tour leader's motorbike.
Day 9 : Ta Seng - Sra'aem
Location: Sra'aem
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Another adventurous day in the countryside. We ride along small tracks and country roads to the north to the border with Thailand.
Along the way, we will try to pass through Koh Ker, a remote archaeological site situated in a jungle-filled region that is sparsely populated. Koh Ker is situated between the southern slopes of the Dangrek mountains, the Kulen mountains (Phnom Kulen) in the south-west, and the Tbeng mountain (Phnom Tbeng, near Tbeng Meanchey) in the east. The city of Koh Ker was on the most important strategic route of the Khmer empire.
High on a hillcrest, on the border of Cambodia with Thailand, is the temple complex of Preah Vihear. We will visit it today or tomorrow morning. We will stay overnight in a nearby town.
Day 10 : Sra'aem - Anlong Veng
Location: Anlong Veng
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
This morning we will visit Preah Vihear. Halfway in the morning, we will jump on our bikes again and head west, following a beautiful road along the Dangrek Mountains. Our destination is Anlong Veng. This town was one of the last Khmer Rouge strongholds to fall to government forces in the late 90's. Most of the Khmer Rouge soldiers were taken into the government army. Just outside this settlement up the mountain towards the Thai border is the house where Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge comrades spend their last years. Pol Pot has been cremated here. The history is still clearly visible here and can be seen up close for the people who want to witness it.
Day 11 : Anlong Veng - Siem Reap
Location: Krong Siem Reap
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
After a real Cambodian breakfast, we start our engines and we rideto Siem Reap. There is a major road to Siem Reap, but we will soon leave the road again to go ride through rubber plantations. Once we arrive in the area of Angkor Wat, we try to enter the temple city of Angkor Thom by motorbike and pass the world-famous temple Angkor Wat. Siem Reap is one of the liveliest cities of Cambodia. In the center you will find many good restaurants and cozy bars. In addition, this is the perfect place to shop for souvenirs, send an email or pamper yourself with a massage. And, of course, is this our base for exploring the temples.
Day 12 : Siem Reap - Stay
Location: Krong Siem Reap
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today we visit Angkor Wat. The temples of Angkor are a source of inspiration and pride for all Cambodians and appeal to the imagination of most of the visitors. The period of the Angkor empire spans 600 years, during which more than 70 temples, palaces, libraries, and other buildings were built, spread over 350 square kilometers. Angkor Wat is one of these temples but nowadays refers to the whole area. It is simply not possible to visit all the temples of this gigantic complex in a single day. Your tour leader, however, can advise which temples are best visited at a particular time and which temples must not be missed. This day at Angkor Wat will most certainly be one of the highlights of your trip!
Day 13 : Siem Reap - Battambang
Location: Krong Battambang
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today we ‘dance’ around highway 6 to Sisophon and 5 to Battambang. The chaos on the highway can be a true challenge, but we will avoid a lot of it by taking gravel routes north and south of it.
Battambang is the second city of Cambodia and has many UNESCO-protected French colonial houses. These are located along the Sangker river. The famous bamboo train is also in Battambang. Depending on our time of arrival, we will try to join one of its rides.
Day 14 : Battambang - Veal Veng
Location: Veal Veaeng
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
If it has been raining recently, today can be a strenuous and challenging day. Riding to and crossing through the Cardamom Mountains can be a muddy event. Even though Cambodia has received lots of tourists for many years, the Cardamom Mountains is discovered by very few foreigners. The mountains form the border between Cambodia and Thailand and have long been a Khmer Rouge stronghold. At the beginning, the gravel roads are wide and flat, but they will be getting more bumpy and smaller when we get into the mountains. Agricultural plains turn into tropical rainforest. We spend the night in a simple guest house in the small village of Veal Veng. We will need to order food and drinks ahead of time so that the guest house can prepare these for us on time.
Day 15 : Veal Veng - Koh Kong
Location: Koh Kong
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today the route can get pretty challenging as well, especially when a rain shower has changed the surface into slippery smooth red clay. We take our time for this adventurous route through the green forest. The civilized world will be very far away for a while. We will also have a provisional lunch along the way. After lunch, we will look for the new Chinese road, a concrete block path that will take us to Koh Kong. If we have time we will see if we can take a refreshing dive in the sea somewhere along the way. Koh Kong is a small town on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, a few kilometers from the neighboring country.
Day 16 : Koh Kong - Sre Ambel
Location: Srae Ambel
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
We leave Koh Kong, but not the adventure: We mix our ride between curve coastal asphalt roads and small jungle trails to Sre Ambal. We will ride through dense forest and pass waterfalls, while we find our way to Sre Ambel. We will ride along the Gulf of Thailand and Botum Sakor National Park.
Sre Ambal, Nesat village is a small but upcoming village, situated along the Sre Ambal river and the Gulf of Thailand (or rather the Bay of Chakk Kampong Som). It is a very biodiverse area, consisting of swamps, mangroves and habiting a large community of waterbirds. Since the ‘80s, villagers of this tiny town have been harmoniously living with the environment, using traditional farming and fishing methods. They have been joined by a colorful mix of expats building new homes.
Day 17 : Sre Ambel - Stay
Location: Srae Ambel
Accommodation: Homestay
Meals Included: Breakfast
We will have a break from the mountain stages of the past few days. You can take a walk through the village or along the nearby mangroves or beaches. Go for a swim, read a book, listen to some music at the Kubhaus, wash your clothes, or just hang around the guesthouse.
Day 18 : Sre Ambel - Kep
Location: Kep Province
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
We follow highway number 3. Several times you have beautiful views over the coast. We stop for lunch in the town of Kampot. After a trip past the abandoned villas and the beautiful view from Kep's National Park, we arrive at the beautiful hotel early in the afternoon and enjoy its beautiful views over the coastline. If you like seafood, then you've come to the right place. Kep is a very suitable place to recap all the adventures of the past few weeks. You can relax here, or of course we can also take a nice trip by motorcycle.
Day 19 : Kep - Phnom Penh
Location: Phnom Penh
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
On our last motorbike day, we ride between some rice fields but mainly over dusty roads and paved roads within the capital. We make a detour towards the East to the Vietnamese border, where we can stop at Kep for a crab lunch. Next, we ride north to Phnom Penh. The versatility of the roads in Cambodia are clearly visible. We witness the life in the countryside and then exchange it for the hustle and bustle and coziness of the city.
Day 20 : Phnom Penh - Departure
Location: Phnom Penh
Meals Included: Breakfast
Depending on your flight schedule, you may still have time to explore more of the city. Your tour leader can provide more sightseeing tips for you. Then it is time to say goodbye.

Check out our Q&As
-
Medicines, illnesses and physical condition
If you are dependent on medicines (such as insulin) or if you have certain limitations due to your health, you should inform the tour guide of this at the beginning of the trip. If you are not sure whether you can carry out the trip in a responsible manner with a certain illness or health problems, contact your doctor well before departure. Keep in mind that the journeys can be physically and mentally strenuous and that this can be reinforced if the weather conditions or other external factors influence the journey. We expect each participant to be well informed about the difficulty of the journey. You must declare that you are in sufficient good health to complete the trip successfully and without any problems (see bottom of this page). Motor Trails is not responsible for the consequences of your own health and physical condition during the trip. Of course, if possible we will assist you en route for long as possible, provided that the rest of the group does not suffer too much from this.
-
Clothing
The climate is different at each destination. At the furthest tip of Tierra del Fuego it can be around freezing, whilst in Cambodia it is rarely below 25 degrees. It is wise, therefore, to base your riding gear on the local temperature. Regardless, the minimum equipment comprises: - Sturdy long (mountain) boots or motorcycle boots - Gloves - Sturdy (motorcycle) jacket with added protection at shoulders and elbow, with or without removable lining - Helmet - Sturdy long (motorcycle) trousers preferably with knee protection or motorcycle trousers Additional advice on clothing and riding equipment is available upon request.
-
Weather conditions and natural influences
Our trips are planned as much as possible in the most favorable season. Nothing, however, is as unpredictable as the weather. Especially in the areas where Motor Trails organizes trips, the weather is an important factor in the experience of the journey. The weather can force us to take alternative routes, to adapt the program or, in the event of a very bad weather forecast and in consultation with the participants, to end the trip prematurely. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can also strongly influence the course of the trip. In this event, Motor Trails will offer alternatives and put these into practice in consultation with the group. Motor Trails is not in any way liable, however, for the consequences of these external influences on the trip. In such cases, Clause 9.5 of the General Terms and Conditions will come into effect.
