The Mekong River Cambodia

Biking along the Mekong River:

I have discovered this absolutely knockout eco-tour organized by Exotissimo.

Yellow Bike

There is no better way to escape from your ordinary life than biking on the road for 12 extraordinary days along the Mekong River (guided tour).

You will travel on two wheels from the southern islands of LAOS to the temple-rich contryside of CAMBODIA.

The roads are quiet and relatively flat. Cycling give you an extraordinary opportunity to better approach the people, know their culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

At your arrival in Bangkok, you will be transfered to the small town of Ubon Rashantani on the laotian border and in the middle of the Mekong river. This area is known as "Siphandon", which means "Four Thousands Islands" and is protected as a National Parc Area.

Market place

You will peacefully travel on quiet roads and cross numerous small villages where smiling kids will run alongside your bike.

In Cambodia you will marvel at the plethora of temples and wildlife encountered along the way.

Finally, you will arrive in SIEM REAP with the utlimate reward to discover the magnificent ANGKOR VAT temples

Angkor Vat

Bargain Prices:

The low season in Southeast Asia extend from May through October

The weather didn't change much except from the short refreshing afternoon rain shower. It's cleaning the atmosphere and the landscape appears more brigthter with rich lush colors. A perfect time for shooting your best photos!
