Cambodia hidden temple and enduro 6 days 

Embark on a Journey Through Cambodia’s Heartland

Embark on an exhilarating off-road adventure through Cambodia’s diverse terrain, designed for intermediate to advanced dirt bike riders. Ride through remote jungle trails, explore ancient Khmer temples, and visit the former capitals of the mighty Khmer Empire—all on two wheels.

Your journey begins in Siem Reap, where a pre-tour introduction offers a glimpse into Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage and iconic landmarks. From there, we’ll retrace the paths of history, venturing from bustling cities to peaceful rural villages.

This immersive experience goes beyond riding—it’s a deep dive into Cambodia’s transformation, told through its landscapes, communities, and centuries-old stories. Perfect for riders seeking authentic cultural encounters and awe-inspiring natural beauty, this adventure will leave you with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to the spirit of Cambodia.

Day 1: Siem Reap – Koh Ker ancient temple 

After a hearty local breakfast, embark on a journey northward toward the Cambodia–Thailand border. Ride along the scenic Dângrêk mountain range, tracing the path once frequented by the Khmer Rouge. Your first stop is the former residence of Pol Pot, the last leader of the Khmer Rouge regime. Explore the modest structure that once served as his hideout, offering a glimpse into the final days of the regime. Following the visit, return to Anlong Veng for a refreshing fruit and drink break. Then, venture onto a remote countryside trail that winds through local villages, providing an authentic rural Cambodian experience. After a well-deserved lunch at Trapang Prasat, continue your ride on a red dirt road for approximately 30 minutes to reach a former hill tribe village. From there, head east to the ancient capital of Koh Ker, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its historical and architectural significance. Koh Ker served as the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928 to 944 CE under King Jayavarman IV. The site boasts over 180 sanctuaries, including the iconic seven-tiered pyramid temple, Prasat Thom, which rises approximately 35 meters above the surrounding jungle. The Koh Ker style is characterized by dynamic sculptures and monumental stone structures, reflecting the grandeur of the Khmer civilization Upon arrival, explore the temple complex and immerse yourself in the rich history of this ancient city. Conclude the day with a restful overnight stay and a traditional Khmer dinner, reflecting on the day’s adventures and the deep historical insights gained.  

Day 2: Koh Ker – Prek Khan 

As the sun rises, our grand adventure begins anew today, taking us along Cambodia’s most breathtaking countryside vistas to Preah Khan Temple. Once the capital following the fall of Angkor, Preah Khan was constructed in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII to honor his father, King Dharanindravarman II. The temple complex, known as Nagara Jayasri, was a thriving city with over 100,000 inhabitants, serving as a Buddhist university and administrative center . Our journey follows a single-track trail through Cambodia’s dense jungle, leading us toward the Kulen community. This immersive experience offers a glimpse into authentic rural life, with scenes of tranquil villages and diverse plantations, including rubber, tobacco, jackfruit, cashew nuts, and bananas—perfect for capturing memorable photographs. The day’s ride is further enhanced by our bikes navigating primarily dirt tracks, transitioning from one scenic spot to another, making the journey both easier and more engaging. As we continue deeper into the jungle and villages, we’ll encounter rubber plantations and cashew farms, providing insight into the rural livelihoods of Cambodians. Our route then heads southwest for several kilometers on a red dirt road to reach the Preah Khan community.

Day 3: Preh Khan – Kampong Chnnang

Today, we’ll leave behind the ancient Khmer city and ride along village trails, spending most of the morning exploring the Cambodian countryside. Along the way, we’ll stop at a local school to make a small donation—such as pens or books—and take the opportunity to learn more about Cambodia’s education system and its children. Lunch will be served in a village, where you’ll enjoy authentic local dishes and experience genuine rural hospitality. In the afternoon, we continue riding toward Kampong Chhnang, passing through expansive rice paddies and the wide-open landscapes along Tonlé Sap Lake. Upon reaching the ferry, we’ll cross the Mekong River, followed by a short ride to your hotel in Kampong Chhnang.

Day 4: Kampong Chnnang – Chrok La Eng waterfall

If you’re looking for an extreme adventure, this trail delivers—with technical climbs, dodgy bridges, slippery single tracks, and multiple river crossings. It’s arguably one of the best and most challenging routes through the Aural Mountain Range. We’ll spend the night in a charming rural guesthouse in Chrok La Eng village, the gateway to Aural National Park and home to one of the most stunning waterfalls in Cambodia, complete with a major river crossing. Nearby rapids offer the perfect place to cool off with a refreshing swim after a thrilling day. This area is among the most untouched regions of Cambodia, where new species are still being discovered. Sadly, it’s also under threat from rapid deforestation and development. Staying in a local guesthouse or homestay not only immerses you in the local culture but also supports the community directly.

Day 5: Chrok La Eng – Ural eco-tourism

Today’s ride is one of the most challenging as we venture deep into the rural bush trails of Cambodia. We’ll begin the day on narrow single tracks, navigating through the rugged terrain of the Aural Mountain Range and descending toward the Kravan community. By late afternoon, we’ll wrap up the day with a well-deserved cold beer at the final stop. Tonight, we’ll stay overnight in the Cardamom community. Please note: If we arrive late to the Chay Reab community due to the difficulty of the trails, we may choose to stay there overnight instead to avoid riding in the dark for safety reasons.

Day 6: Ural – Phnom Penh tour end Today, we begin our journey toward Phnom Penh, where you will say goodbye to your guide at the end of the tour. The day starts with an exciting ride through jungle trails, offering beautiful scenery and several technical enduro sections. We will follow an ancient path once used by Khmer communities more than 1,300 years ago. If time permits, we’ll make a brief stop at a cave containing ancient Khmer coffins, providing a fascinating glimpse into Cambodia’s history. We will carry a packed lunch today, as the ride to Kamlot Village—once a Khmer Rouge campsite—can take some time. In the early morning, we’ll pass through a wildlife sanctuary, crossing several large rivers along the way. The bush tracks ahead include some of the best single-track riding of the entire tour, with approximately 40 km of remote trails leading to Ural Village. Upon reaching the edge of the conservation area, we will ride through expansive sugarcane farms before joining the main road. From there, we’ll continue on paved roads toward Phnom Penh, a journey of approximately two hours or more, depending on city traffic conditions.

HOTEL OPTION

Where we stay?

We mix our accommodation between comfortable, clean guest houses and remote Village home stays. Staying in village home stays is a real experience however after a few days of riding you will be ready for a comfy bed, warm shower and a good nights sleep.

Where and what will we eat?

Cambodiaoffroad do not include food or drinks in our tour packages, the reason why we don’t know what and how much you will consume so its best you pay your way.

On single day tours you will have lunch at the local clean restaurants serving good Khmer food.

Multi day tour

On multi day Cambodia motor bike tour things are a little different, we do where possible have lunch in a restaurant, however our tours are not like others and we spend most of the day on trails in extremely remote areas where restaurants are just not heard of, this does not stop our guides from organizing lunch in local villages which is a real experience!

Evenings are not a problem in the home stays we have good home cooked food and in the towns we know where to find the most delicious local specialties.

What back pack should I use?

The trick over here is to travel light. Its no fashion show out there so don’t worry about lots of changes of clothes bring with you only the necessitates. A hydro-backpack holding 2-3 liters of water is ideal or a small-medium sized rucksack than has room to carry bottled water.

What about land mines, malaria and safety?

It safe to ride thru the remote Cambodia as MAG cleared most mines from land and Most of the mines that remain are around the border areas and we are always informed by the local authority about the risk.

Cambodia off road have accessed mined area maps from CMAC and avoid all high risk areas for the Cambodia motor bike tour.

There is a risk from Malaria in certain areas in Cambodia so don’t forget the mosquito spray and if you feel it necessary a course of malaria tablets.

In regards to civil unrest it has been many years since the Khmer Rouge occupied Cambodia and although we do travel through ares where many former Khmer Rouge soldiers and leaders settled it is completely safe. Also the conflict at the border with Thailand has also ended making the trip to Preah Veaher temple also safe.

Do you supply riding gear?

Cambodia off road includes all riding gear in the tour price. This makes it easy for those of you who had not planed to ride whilst on holiday. We include helmet, gloves, enduro boots, goggles, pads, trousers and shirt.

Many who come on longer planned tours prefer to bring there own gear, we recommend this as its far more comfortable in your own boots!

What about money matters? (During the Cambodia motor bike Tour)

Cambodia runs on two currencies the American Dollar and the Cambodian Riel. You will not be able to get Riel in your own country so bring Dollars with you.

Before you go on tour change some of your dollars into Riel as we head into remote areas where US dollars are often not accepted.

We reckon that on average you need around $20-$30 a day for your food and drinks. Atm’s are available in the major towns but don’t rely on these on tour. We also request full payment before we leave on tour so be sure to bring it with you.

US dollars are accepted the whole Cambodia with small note!

Reviewed April 5, 2019 Dirt Biking, the best way to explore a country and meet the locals.

This trip blew me away and I have not stopped banging on about it since. It starts off in busy Siem Reap, winding your way through mopeds, tourist cars and buses, and then it’s out into the country side, and the dusty trails. We passed through remote villages, rice paddies, along dried river beds, stopping at lake villages, and road side shacks selling cold water and bottles of petrol. Our excellent guide Visal, takes care of everything and throws in some interesting information about local culture and history. Just riding the bikes is fun enough, let alone what you see along the way, and coming across hidden temples in the jungle is a serious life highlight. I highly recommend this tour!!Cambodia motor bike tour
