Cultural Discovery
The cultural diversity of Southeast Asia remains staggering. On a visit to any one of these countries you can discover everything from highly developed, artisan societies descended from ancient civilisations -- such as the Srivijaya (c. 650 AD) or Angkor (c. 800 AD) Empires -- to jungle nomads still dressed in loincloths and penis gourds, toting bows and arrows, spears and blowpipes.

Bangkok to Saigon Cycle Challenge
Angkor Through the AgesMore of a challenge than a gentle holiday, the Bangkok to Saigon Cycle Challenge is an exceptional 18 day, 1,200km mountain bike journey through three of South East Asia's most exotic countries, Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam.
This is a chronological encounter with the temples, allowing visitors to understand the architectural evolution of Angkor, as successive kings left their mark on the Khmer empire.
Departing cosmopolitan Saigon for Hanoi, commonly referred to as the Paris of the Orient, you will travel by overnight sleeper train. Chill out on the sandy beaches of Nha Trang & Hoi An, visit the ancient temples & pagodas of imperial Hue and sail on board a traditional junk in Halong Bay.
