MOTORCYCLE-TRIPS · CAMBODIA
The Cambodia Enduro Tour combines the best that the country has to offer: ancient temples, pristine landscapes, and pure riding.
The Journey
This journey begins in Phnom Penh, the vibrant capital at the confluence of the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers. From here, we travel eastwards to the legendary river dolphins at Kratie – one of the last populations in Southeast Asia. Then we head into the highlands of the Bunong with coffee plantations and traditional villages, before setting off northwards to the temples of Angkor Wat.
Arrival in Cambodia. Arrival in the late evening, check-in at the hotel and initial orientation in the capital.
Drive north for 220 km. Arrival in Kratie on the banks of the Mekong. The town was once a trading post; today it is home to the rare river dolphins. Explore the old town and relax after the journey.
Instead of continuing on, you stay one more day in Kratie. In the morning, you take a boat (1 hour) to the Mekong dolphins – a magical moment. In the afternoon, explore the city, visit local markets, or relax by the river.
Travel 230 km into the highlands. Along the way, you visit a functioning coffee plantation and traditional villages of the Bunong, an indigenous minority of Cambodia. Arrival in Sen Monorom, the center of the coffee region.
No driving today. Instead, a day trip to the Bou-Sra waterfalls and an elephant sanctuary. The local vegetation is lush, the air cool – a welcome break from road traffic.
Drive 195 km eastwards into the remote highlands. Along the way, visit the Hang Kho Ba village and reach the sacred Yeak Laom Volcanic Lake, surrounded by forest and legends.
Drive 165 km further north. The landscape becomes increasingly wild: solitary roads, pristine villages. Stung Treng on the Mekong is your stop for the night.
Drive 235 km ??? the longest daily distance of the tour. You are approaching the border area. Preah Vihear, the border temple, remains unreachable (at the border line), but the landscape around Sre Aem enchants with forest and silence.
Take a 95 km trip to the mysterious temples of Koh Ker. This UNESCO complex is much less visited than Angkor Wat. With your guide, you'll explore Prasat Thom, the tallest temple, and jungle-surrounded stone structures.
Travel 135 km to the great temples near Siem Reap. With about 10 hours in the saddle, it's a longer travel day, but the anticipation for Angkor is growing.
Questions about the tour itinerary?
Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.
Rest day! Get up early to explore Angkor Wat in the morning sun. The main temple is breathtaking: sandstone steps, reliefs telling stories, and an energy that is hard to describe. Afternoon at your leisure.
Drive 215 km westwards. In Battambang you visit the historic bamboo train route and the "Killing Caves" ??? a moving memorial. Evening in hidden Battambang, far away from the hustle and bustle of Siem Reap.
Drive 160 km into the wild Cardamom Mountains. The roads become increasingly adventurous. Forest paths and mountain passes dominate. Veal Veng is a village without major tourism, surrounded by jungle and extreme silence.
Instead of driving, you make a day trip (to Phnom 1500, approx. 20 km off-road drive). The mountain offers a unique view over the Cardamom Mountains. Return to Veal Veng in the evening.
Drive 190 km, partly off-road through jungle and mountain passes. Chi Phat is an amazingly modern eco-village, known for sustainable tourism. Waterfalls and forest villages along the way.
Drive 118 km to Kirirom National Park, the "Land of Pine Forests" in the southern Cambodian highlands. Cool air temperatures, amazing views, and lonely paved roads through the forest.
Drive 125 km south back to Phnom Penh. The roads are well paved again here. Arrive in the capital in the evening to discuss your tour experiences and wind down the trip.
Day off in Phnom Penh. Visit the Royal Palace, go to night markets, explore the French Quarter cafes, or relax after three weeks of travel.
Another day in the capital. Treat yourself to shopping, spa, or simply culinary adventures: Khmer cuisine is delicious and worth indulging yourself after intense days of travel.
Drive to the airport, return flight to Munich. With unforgettable memories of motorcycles, people, and temples, you pack your bags.
