The Cambodian motorbiking adventure spans 14 days, with 11 days on the road. Starting in the capital, the journey on 250cc dirtbikes takes you through scenic villages and mysterious temples, with the highlight being the magnificent Angkor Wat Temples. The tour then ventures east to Mondulkiri, a region known for its ethnic minorities and natural beauty.
Tourists booking this adventure will receive a free Visa-on-arrival to Cambodia, a body massage in Phnom Penh, and a welcome dinner for groups of six or more. Additionally, a 5% discount is available on any pre or post-trip to Vietnam or Laos.

While the article focuses on the tours, it's interesting to note that motorcycle tourism has been on the rise in Southeast Asia. According to a report by the World Tourism Organization, adventure tourism, which includes motorcycling tours, is one of the fastest-growing segments in the tourism industry. This growth is driven by travelers seeking more authentic and immersive experiences, which these tours offer in abundance.
Furthermore, the Ho Chi Minh Trail itself is a subject of historical significance and intrigue. During the Vietnam War, it was estimated that the trail was used to transport approximately 40,000 tons of supplies per year, showcasing the logistical prowess of the North Vietnamese forces. Today, the trail serves as a living museum and a testament to the resilience of the Vietnamese people, making it a compelling destination for history buffs and adventure seekers alike.
