Program
Day 1: Siem Reap Motorcycle Tour to Banteay Chhmar (Approximately 150 kilometers / 93 miles)
Your journey begins in Siem Reap, departing the bustling city known for the Angkor temples and heading northwest towards the remote and lesser-visited Banteay Chhmar. As you leave the tourist-heavy areas, the ride transitions into scenic dirt roads and rural backroads, giving you the perfect introduction to the Cambodia Off-road Motorcycle Tour experience.
The countryside offers stunning views of traditional Cambodian farmlands and quaint villages. Along the way, you’ll witness the daily routines of villagers tending to rice paddies, water buffaloes grazing, and children waving as you ride by. These backroads take you through picturesque farmlands, where life moves at a much slower pace.
When you arrive in Banteay Chhmar, you’ll explore the awe-inspiring temple complex. Tucked away in the jungle, this lesser-known Khmer Empire stronghold is a hidden gem. The intricate stone carvings, towering structures, and quiet, mysterious atmosphere make it a must-see for history buffs and adventure seekers alike. Spend the evening in a local homestay, enjoying a delicious traditional Khmer dinner, learning more about local culture, and reflecting on the day’s ride.
Day 2: Banteay Chhmar Motorcycle Tour to Preah Vihear (Approximately 160 kilometers / 99 miles)
On Day 2, head east toward the famous Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site perched atop a cliff on the Dangrek Mountains near the Thai border. The off-road ride offers a thrilling journey through rural Cambodia, passing through jungle trails and small ethnic villages, providing a perfect blend of dirt biking and cultural exploration.
Upon arriving at Preah Vihear, explore the ancient temple, which offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding plains. The temple is known for its impressive architecture and historical significance, having been a major spiritual site during the Khmer Empire. Spend the night near the temple, staying in a local guesthouse.
Day 3: Preah Vihear Motorcycle Tour to Siem Reap (Approximately 170 kilometers / 106 miles)
On the final day, ride back to Siem Reap by taking a different scenic route, enjoying the off-road experience of dirt tracks and rural paths. Along the way, visit remote villages and interact with locals, gaining deeper insights into Cambodian village life. The route offers beautiful views of rice paddies, farmlands, and distant mountains.
