Detailed Itinerary 

Day 1 Sunday – Ho Chi Minh City – Tra Vinh
Arrive in Saigon pick up from airport and transfer a couple of hours out of Ho Chi Minh to My Tho – the gateway to the Mekong Delta. Today’s ride will lead you right into the heart of rural Mekong, as you pedal down narrow roads and lanes, past banana plantations and fields of sugarcane. A section of biking takes us off road onto gravel and dirt lanes, weaving through hamlets, across rivers and through quite thick vegetation, this makes for superb biking. A final ferry crossing takes to Tra Vinh a pretty tree-lined town with many ethnic Khmers.

Country lanes are the way we travel today to Can Tho – one the last towns to fall to the North Vietnamese and with a population mainly made up of Khmers. The lanes are lined with various palm trees to help with the shade and keep you cool. Also many traditional homes complete with coconut leafed roofs make to make this a fantastic ride.

Day 3 Tuesday– Can Tho – Chu Doc
We start the day with a trip to the Cai Rang floating market – where all manner of goods are for sale. After breakfast we have a short transfer by bus and ferry to start today’s cycling. The route today is peaceful and the road follows the Hau River which is scenic due to the lotus ponds and paddy fields. Along the small local roads there is plenty to see contrasting architectural styles of Khmer homes and temples to the rich and colourful river scenes when crossing many small bridges. Our cycling day ends at Phu Tan and from there is a short transfer to the hotel in Can Tho.

Day 4 Wednesday Chau Doc – Kep
A short transfer to the border crossing and on the way we have a chance to visit Sam Mountain which is home to dozens of Pagodas (some dating back to early 1800s) and temples and from the top of the mountain we have an excellent view over to Cambodia. After crossing the border it is a beautiful ride on rolling hills through rural Cambodia on a mixture of tarmac and dirt roads. Not many tourists cross at this point which will give this ride a more frontier feeling.
