Welcome to Phnom Penh!.

Begin your journey with a visit to the Killing Fields, that were a place of execution and burial of people considered a threat or enemy of the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979). You'll walk near the fields which have been excavated, and see the monument which now houses the skulls of the victims. You'll also see an old tree which is notable for its eerie and death-like appearance. Next, you'll continue to Toul Sleng Genocide Museum. Prior to 1975 Toul Sleng was a high school. When Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, they converted it into the S-21 prison.

For those who crave an adrenaline hit, swing by a gun range where you can try firing classic military weapons like the AK-47. After lunch, spend your leisure time.

After breakfast, you will ride west into the Cardamom Mountains, one of the last wild places in Southeast Asia. The road turns into rough dirt, gravel, and narrow jungle paths. It is a wild ride with river crossings and twisting trails through thick green forest which is exactly what you came here to experience. As you go deeper, you will see fewer towns and people. This is the real Cambodia, quiet and untouched.

By late afternoon, you will reach Chi Phat, a small village accessible only by boat or jungle trail. It is simple but warm, run by locals who live close to nature. After a long day riding, enjoy a home-cooked Khmer meal, listen to the sounds of the jungle at night, and get ready for the next day’s adventure.

See more 箭头

Today is another real backcountry riding day. The trail from Chi Phat goes deep into the forest. You will find narrow paths, some tricky spots, and maybe a fallen tree or two to get around. This is the kind of ride that takes you off the map, far from busy roads and tourists. As you ride through thick rainforest, small villages and river crossings appear unexpectedly. These places are rarely visited by travelers.

By late afternoon, the jungle opens to show the calm Tatai River. Here, the eco-lodge sits quietly on the riverbank, surrounded by mountains and water. It looks like a picture from a travel magazine. You can swim, relax on the deck, or sip a cold beer while enjoying the amazing view.

See more 箭头

Starting from Tatai, the road changes a lot as you head north. Smooth pavement gives way to rocks, gravel, and mud while you climb higher into the Cardamom Mountains. The ride is tough and takes effort, but the views and quiet trails make it worth every moment. Tall trees, misty mountain tops, and remote paths show you that you are riding in a place very few have been.

If the conditions are good, you will take on the famous Tiger Trail. This narrow and tricky route winds through untouched forest and is not easy, but it is incredibly beautiful. Not many riders get to try it, and those who do always remember it.

The day ends in Pramaoy, a small mountain town with a simple main street but lots of charm. Here you can relax, enjoy a cold drink with your group, and eat a hearty local meal. The evening is perfect for sharing stories and feeling proud of how far you have come.

Spectacular trip to Thailand!

Our 18-day private tour for two couples through Thailand and Siem Reap/Cambodia was nothing short of epic. From the initial planning with clear, responsive communication, we knew we were in expert hands.

The moment we landed, every detail was seamlessly handled. We were met by a series of incredibly courteous drivers and deeply knowledgeable guides who masterfully paced our journey—no visit ever felt rushed. They transformed stunning sites like the ancient ruins of Sukhothai into living history.

Along the tour, many lunches (if not all) were included; they were a-la-carte meals, a culinary delight, offering an incredible selection of authentic local dishes that pleased even our pickiest eater while becoming a highlight for our more adventurous friends. The curation was exceptional. Our hotels were great, with the Sukhothai Heritage Resort and Saii Phi Phi Village being a true slice of paradise.

Their excellence was truly proven when a flight was abruptly cancelled. Our tour contact, Kea, proactively presented solutions immediately, turning a potential disaster into a minor hiccup.

Note: We decided to take the Siem Reap part on our own, as my husband had already been there. This was not an issue, and Indochina Tour was very helpful arranging the flights to and from. In short, this trip was a perfect harmony of meticulous planning and flexible freedom. We felt completely cared for while exploring some of the world's most beautiful places. An unparalleled experience we cannot recommend highly enough.

Good times in Burma

My wife and I were in Burma November 15-19 and we travelled around the city of Yangon to see the fabulous Schwedagon Pagoda and the old colonial buildings. We flew from Yangon to Mandalay the next morning to catch a glimpse of the many pagodas that dotted this former capital.

Our very gracious tour guides Winthu and Sithu were just an example of how to be a good host.they made sure to provide everything that we need.and they both know their country’s History and culture as well.local food is delicious.places that we’ve been through are safe.thank you Indochine Tours for arranging our tour in Burma.

An excellent 23 days touring the cultural highlights of Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and North Thailand

Our trip was faultless. Every aeroplane, train and boat were on time as were all our guides and drivers.The standard of hotels and vehicles were very good and the drivers excellent. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Our trip included lots of cultural experiences as well as the expected visits to the usual tourist sites. We enjoyed watching traditional dancing,boat trips, a massage, kayaking, karaoke, circus skills, puppet shows as well as several dinners with a show.

The food was excellent and Kea and Amara planned us an excellent itinerary. We had almost instant responses from them to any queries before our trip, and they ensured we knew of any changes of arrangements promptly. (One hotel had flooding &we were given an excellent replacement hotel with no stress for us at all) Our guides were sensitive to ensuring our visits to Temples etc were as crowd-free as was possible but allowed us plenty of time to absorb our surroundings/ museum exhibits and info etc.

We cannot praise Indochina Tours enough and were very impressed with Kea and Amara's inputs.

Rock Star Quality Experience!

We are two woman whose husbands want the security of us traveling with a competent driver and guide! And we felt like rock stars scooped up from the airport and they ensured every day would be the best experience for us. Kea put so much careful work in to our itinerary, but it was the driver and guide who pivoted the schedule to make the most of our time.

Somehow we dodged two big storms because of their conscientious attention to detail. Our guide saw many hikers slipped in the mud, so he rerouted us. He wanted us to see the Golden Hand Bridge in good weather so adjusted that schedule too. Every hotel was gorgeous and we felt like they were happy to see us. The guides spoke great English and really added so much knowledge and laughter to our tour. We felt so cared for and privileged to do this tour!

Great company who tries to accommodate all the needs of its clients

Indochina Tour designed our trip of 20 days to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Some days we had private tour guides ((they were the best and their English was very good) or we joined another tour for a day with a group of tourists. The guides and the drivers that took us to the airports, train station , cruise ship etc.. were always on time and very polite.

Our different advisors in the Head Quarters in Siem Reap and other locations, always answered our questions and solved any issues (e.g flooding in Hoi An as we needed to change the hotel). Indochina tour has done its outmost to let us experience the culture and enjoyment of the place of visit. We rode Tuk Tuk, a train, a cruise ship, trekked in rice fields and by villages. This outfit was concerned about our safety and provided good to excellent hotels in good locations, for our comfort. Thank you Indochina Tour.

Amazing service from Indochina Tour

Sreyprov from Indochina Tour arranged a magnificent private 18 day tour to Thailand & Vietnam. Everything from the moment we arrived to our last day was excellent! The tour schedule & each of the 6 tour guides were very professional, knowledgeable, respectful & friendly. The service we received from Sreyprov & also the operations manager Kea was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble almost an immediate response to any question raised by email or WhatsApp, both before and during the tour, I felt confident that we were always in capable hands.

Anyone considering to use the services of Indochina Tour, especially Sreyprov & Kea, I would highly recommend them & would have no hesitation to make a reservation. Personally, I am already considering my next Asian adventure with them!

The Best of 3 Counties!!

We had the most amazing tour!! We were very late in planning this trip and Sreypov, our Travel Consultant help with the initial planning, tailoring the trip to exactly what we want. Once we made the decision, we had Kea to help us every step of the way. I texted A LOT and I always got a quick response and all the answers I needed. The guides were wonderful, gave great insight to what we were seeing and I felt like we learned so much from them. We enjoyed all the places we visited.

Please do not hesitate to book a trip with Indochina Tours!! Sreypov and Kea are wonderful and will help to ensure you have the best time.
