About the Vietnam to Cambodia Cycle Challenge

This breathtaking bike ride will take you from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Upon arrival, you will have time to explore the fascinating city of Saigon - the heart of Vietnam - before the challenge commences.

The 248 mile (400km) route will take you through many traditional Vietnamese villages, following gorgeous streams and rivers, passing paddy fields and stunning mountains. Few locals will have seen foreigners cycling past, and their interest and hospitality will spur on even the most tired cyclist.

The route then crosses the border into Cambodia and you will cycle to the world famous temple site of Angkor Wat - arguably one of the most fascinating wonders of the world! Built from 879 - 1191AD by the Khmer civilisation, Ankgor Wat represents one of mankind's most astonishing architectural achievements, and is certainly the jewel in Cambodia's crown.

Two fascinating countries – one fantastic challenge!
