Cycle Indochina
23 days Hanoi to Siem Reap
Visit the birthplace of Vietnamese independence, Meet endangered primates at Cuc Phuong National Park, Cycle country lanes in Hue, Embark on a shopping spree in Hoi An, Ride into the remote Central Highlands, Relax on a beach in Nha Trang, Put your feet up on a cyclo ride in Ho Chi Minh City, Chill-out in seaside Sihanoukville, Discover the temples of Angkor
The road may be long, with many a winding turn - but the spectacular scenery and local hospitality make every pedal one to remember! There's simply no better way to discover Indochina than from the back of a bicycle because away from the main highways, there are many more opportunities to meet friendly locals and to experience the ancient rural traditions of Indochina which have changed very little over the centuries. And in between pedalling, forays into cities and coastal resorts give you a chance to take a break and indulge in some retail therapy, dine on delicious local cuisine or kick back and relax.
