The average length of stay for a traveller to Cambodia is less than three days – Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, and move on. What about the rest of this amazing country?

What about cycling the back roads through rice paddies, navigating the Mekong by boat before visiting a river dolphin conservation project, discovering beautiful waterfalls, remote temples, and learning about development issues while visiting a range of Cambodia’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs). That pretty much sums up what happens on one of PEPY's various cycle-based tours of Cambodia and Laos.

For adventure-seekers looking to discover the real Cambodia, a bike tour with PEPY Tours is about as real as it gets. No one goes to Cambodia without visiting Angkor Wat, but their eye-opening cycle tours around Laos and Cambodia will also explore places well off the ‘tourist’ trail, getting you up close and personal with the real heart of Cambodia, interacting with communities and learning about inspiring solutions to local problems.
