Overview
After your exploration of Angkor, you may be curious about what lies beyond the ruins of the ancient Kingdom. Discover what else Cambodia has in store by exploring the interior of the country, cycling around lakes, countryside and rivers to the coast.
This is a pleasant, easily achievable ride that allows you to explore Cambodia in the best way possible, at handlebar height. We take a mostly flat route through the heart of the country visiting some lesser-known temple ruins and meeting the friendly Khmer people who live throughout the countryside.
Starting from Siem Reap and concluding at the beach in Sihanoukville, this tour aims to deliver unique travel experiences that just aren’t possible when travelling by any other means. Get up close and personal during the day with the engaging locals and at night, relax in some of the best boutique accommodation available.
The fresh air of Kirirom, the French architecture of Kampot and the relaxed, seaside vibe of Kep are all highlights of this bike tour. But the small villages and welcoming people are sure to be the most enduring memories of this great adventure.
317 Km riding. The terrain is a mix of sealed and unsealed roads, tracks and trails. It is our aim to deliver as much traffic-free track and trail as possible, but at times we do need to resort to secondary roads. We spend no more than 5km over the whole tour on anything resembling a highway. The ride is easily achievable for those who are comfortable controlling a bike, with hardly any hills and no distances over 60km on any single day.

Breathe in clean forest air as we stay the night nestled near Kirirom Mountain.
Cycle through the forest of Kep National park to the sparkling coast.
Pedal past small fishing communities and emerge at the white sand and clear waters of Otres Beach.
WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT
GRASSHOPPER STYLE
At Grasshopper, we aim to not only offer bike tours through the must-see sights, but also cycling adventures off the beaten track to discover the heart and soul of the destination and come into contact with authentic local life. That is certainly true of this tour that takes you beyond the tourist centers to the interesting city of Battambang to learn about local industries, then to Kampong Chhnang for a boat around the floating villages, then on through the countryside, ending up by the coast for some fun in the sun.
