Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Depart Phnom Penh by private car directly to Stung Treng (stopping for lunch in Kratie). Overnight at a nature lodge located outside of town (basic facilities, private balcony, river view).

Day 2 Travel north along the Mekong to the village of O Sway near the Lao border and begin a full-day kayaking trip down river through remote flooded forests of Cambodia's amazing Ramsar Wetlands. A boat will provide backup. Many varieties of birds live in these forests. Picnic lunch en route provided. Return to Stung Treng accommodations in the evening.

Day 3 Leave Stung Treng by bicycle along a scenic river route, passing through villages and having opportunities to visit a temple, a school and scenic river views. After 25 km of cycling, we will board kayaks and begin kayaking down river, stopping at sandy islands and watching for rare Mekong River Dolphins. After lunch at a deep dolphin pool, transfer by car to Kratie, arriving in time for sunset over the Mekong. Overnight at a riverside hotel.

Day 4 Transfer by car to the Mekong River south of Kompong Cham and board a ferry boat to cross to the Silk Islands. Enjoy a picnic and swim at a sandy beach on the tip of the northern-most island and make numerous excursions on the islands including visits to an island pagoda, local silk weaving communities, farms, villages and schools as we cycle across two islands. From the quiet east bank of the Mekong, we will board a two-deck cruise boat for a comfortable journey to Phnom Penh, enjoying great views of river life, fishing practices, a floating village, the four rivers region and the city. Watch the sunset over the river while enjoying a BBQ dinner and drinks on board before arriving at Phnom Penh. Cycling: 20 km.
