8-Day Ride Cambodia

Siem Reap: This trip goes very local — tuk tuks, dusty roads, rural stays and Cambodia up close. You’ll travel with experienced tuk tuk drivers (one of whom will be our local guide), a Contiki Trip Manager and historical guides at key sites such as Angkor Wat. Expect simple homestays with fans, mosquito nets, shared facilities, no air con and no hot water. Some stays step up with private rooms, private facilities and air con.  It’s not the polished private-vehicle version. It’s more real, more local, and made for travellers who are up for the adventure.

Siem Reap: You're welcome to bring one suitcase with a max limit of 20kgs.Your main bag travels separately by van. We recommend bringing a small backpack to use as a daypack whilst on tuk tuks. Overnight bag needed for Kampong Khleang homestay.

Siem Reap: Your safety is our top priority. All drivers are fully licensed and complete comprehensive safety training. Your guides will also provide a detailed pre-tour safety briefing and are trained in safety management and first aid.

Siem Reap: You’ll travel by tuk tuk (or remorque, as they’re commonly known in Cambodia). Expect open-air rides, local roads and a proper street-level view of the country. 

Siem Reap: Simple, traditional and a great way to experience local life. In Kampong Khleang, you’ll stay in a stilted homestay above the water, sleeping in a large shared room with mattresses, mosquito nets and curtained-off spaces for privacy. There’s no hot water or air con, but the cold showers are usually welcome in the heat. Meals are served family-style, and there’s a large front deck with hammocks and village views where you can relax. In Sambor Prei Kuk, you'll stay across several neighbouring family-run homestays in the village. These stilted homes are built on land and have smaller room set-ups, with shared group meals hosted together at one homestay. Bathroom facilities vary by house, and hot water may or may not be available and there's no air con. So, expect a more rustic stay than a hotel — but one that’s warm, welcoming and full of character.

Siem Reap: Yep, except on nights 3 and 4. Because these nights are in local homestays, single and twin room supplements don’t apply. Accommodation will be shared and set up in the local homestay style.

Siem Reap: Pack light, loose clothing for the heat, plus comfy shoes for exploring temples and village paths. You’ll also want sun protection, mosquito repellent, a reusable water bottle, earplugs (to block out the early morning homestay buzz), and a scarf or mask for those dusty tuk tuk rides. A light layer or modest clothing for temple visits is a smart move too — shoulders and knees covered, easy win.
