As you are booking your own flights you should aim to arrive into Phnom Penh by midday. See flight recommendations in the Flights section.
You will be met at the Hotel Sofitel Phokeethra Phnom Penh by your Charity Challenge leader.
You will meet early evening for a briefing and group meal at Malis.
Today you will cycle to the outskirts of Phnom Penh to visit the project of an International NGO, CHOICE. The cycle will be a great warm up for your legs as you cycle through the city and out into the countryside. The project helps impoverished Cambodian families and provides a safe haven for the children.
In the evening you will be eating at the VANS restaurant which serves the finest French cuisine in the capital. Based around both a modern and a classic interpretation of French gastronomy, by a talented Michelin Star trained chef, this incredible restaurant offers an amazing setting, not only to enjoy a delicious meal, but also to be transported back to Cambodia’s colonial past. Overnight Sofitel Phokeethra Phnom Penh
You'll depart early for a short transfer away from traffic across the Japanese Bridge to the starting point. You'll start cycling along the Mekong River at first on a road through orchards and villages passing many friendly locals for a most enjoyable ride. The road then becomes a little rougher providing a bit more of a challenge for you but it is still very much enjoyable because of the great scenery of the Mekong River. There are plenty of photo opportunities along this stretch. After lunch you'll be happy to be back on the tarmac and the route takes you west once again until you meet with main road and shortly after at your finish point, Totoeng Village. The final leg will be done by bus to Kampong Thom, and to the Glorious Hotel.
Today you'll be heading for Siem Reap, the gateway to the Angkor region. In order to avoid the poorer roads you'll be transferred via the 800 year old bridge at Kampong Kdei and then on to rejoin the crew at Domdek village. You'll start your bike ride from Domdek through the historic highway reaching the finish line as the sun sets over Angkor Wat.
Tonight, enjoy a Khmer dinner at Nest, a stylish restaurant very close to the famous Pub Street and Night Market. Nest is leading the way as one of Siem Reap’s premier fine dining restaurants. It’s a large contemporary designed space, with a menu that combines both eastern and western flavours. It also has an extensive wine and cocktail list, and their comfy lounges make it a great place not only for a restaurant, but also to relax with a drink after your day of cycling. Overnight Sofitel Phokeethra Siem Reap.
Today will be your last day of cycling as you head to Cambodia’s most unique natural feature, Tonle Sap. At the small village of Kampong Phluk, strike out on boats to see the unique stilted villages and floating villages that epitomise Tonle Sap. Along the way back, visit the ancient Rolous Group, a series of temples predating Angkor Wat.
Overnight at Sofitel Phokeethra Siem Reap. Dinner location to be confirmed.
After breakfast at your hotel, we set out to explore the mysterious temples of Angkor for the first time, as you’ll transfer to the famous Angkor Wat.
