The North East is literally a feast for the senses — rich and diverse in culture, scenery and landscape. The roads and trails in this region are perfect for exploring on your Cambodia motorbike adventure — weave your way through the network of smooth, empty tarmac roads and hard-packed laterite paths, across sweeping plains and redtop trails, through rice fields and forests, from ancient temple to ancient temple.
The Dangrek Mountain Range dominates much of the northern landscape and forms the border between Thailand and Cambodia. It is also home to the long-disputed Preah Vihear temple (pronounced ‘pray-ahh v’hear), and historic remnants of the Khmer Rouge. Each day offers something special and unique and we take time to meet the friendly locals and learn about their daily life, family, and customs.
Day 1 | Siem Reap – Siem Reap | 75 km
At 8:00am, our driver will pick you up from the hotel and bring you to JRHQ for induction, which includes a safety briefing, ride overview and intro to the bikes. Please bring your riding gear along with you so we can take a short ride to let you get to know the bike and the local roads and conditions.
We explore some of the back roads in Siem Reap, where there is a surprise around every corner. After a break and a chat at a quiet local picnic spot, we ride back to JRHQ to prep the bikes for our next-day departure. Dinner will be an incredible BBQ spread at JustRide MotoCafe!
Trail: Blacktop, redtop, gravel
Daily Inclusions: Accommodation, BBQ dinner
Day 2 | Siem Reap – Sra Em | 210 km
We depart early from JRHQ to beat the heat and the traffic. The first part of the morning ride is on a sealed (blacktop) road, before branching off onto a trail through a rubber plantation.
We follow a series of regional roads and trails (hard-packed red-dirt, commonly known as redtop roads) to get us to our scenic local lunch spot, stopping for plenty of photo ops and local interaction along the way.
Famously disputed, the ancient 11th Century temple, Preah Vihear, mightily sprawls across the hilltop, offering stunning views over Thailand and Cambodia. We will pay a visit to this incredible temple either the same afternoon or the next morning, depending on weather conditions and time, before overnighting in Sra Em.
Trail: Blacktop, redtop, gravel
Daily Inclusions: Accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner
Day 3 | Sra Em – Preah Khan | 175 km
After a nice breakfast at the hotel, we depart Sra Em on smooth, blacktop roads, through the northern plains and on to Preah Vihear City. We stop here to refresh and refuel before heading south.
Some ragged redtop roads lead us to our destination, where we will spend some quality time exploring jungle trails snaking around another ancient 11th Century temple, Preah Khan. Overnight is with the Village Chief and his family at their beautiful homestay.

North-West Cambodia is one of our favourite places to explore by motorbike, and it's right on our doorstep. What's not to love - an ever changing landscape, sweeping roads, friendly people and cooler climate. Of course there is a great deal more to Siem Reap Province than just Angkor Wat! We also need to talk about the warm, friendly people, the stunning countryside and of course - the food! This is our home - there is barely a road we have not explored on two wheels. Battambang province is home to hilltop temples, friendly and hardworking people and vast fruit and vegetable farms - in fact it is often referred to as being the food bowl of Cambodia.
The Wild West of Cambodia is one of our favourite places to explore both and and off the bike; we have spent years exploring to find the best routes for our riders. This region is seldom explored by travellers due to its wild and remote nature. The West has everything to offer from remote, seldom-visited temples, hidden forest trails and limestone mountains. An ever-changing landscape, sweeping roads, friendly people and cooler climate - what's not to love?
The North-Eastern provinces hold many hidden secrets, a colourful history, wild waterfalls and some stunning scenery. Remote and spectacular temple ruins can also be found, if you know where to look. Most well known is Preah Vihear, the hilltop Temple this is famous for being disputed territory between Cambodia and Thailand.
