DIFFICULTY AND OFFROAD
Roads in Cambodia have been improved over the years and are tarred with great speed. It remains a challenge for us to keep the trip adventurous; so far so good. As we discover new adventurous routes each year and incorporate these into the trip, we have decided to keep the name.  Regardless, motorcycling in Cambodia remains a great adventure. The physical challenge of the trip will depend almost entirely on the quality of the unsurfaced roads. We do not aim to make this a 100% off road trip. The aim is to keep about a third to half of the routes on unsurfaced trails. These unsurfaced parts vary from narrow paths along the Mekong to wide gravel roads through the jungle. Basic offroad skill are recommended.

ACCOMODATION
During this trip we will stay in hotels and guesthouses. Some accommodations are basic, family-run, but are the nicest options in town.  .

CLIMATE
Cambodia’s climate is tropical, which means it is hot year around. The only difference in seasons is dry or wet. The wet period is in the late summer months, so the best time to travel is from October to around June.

CLOTHING
The following items are mandatory: helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, good hardwearing (motorcycle) trousers with protection or separate knee protection and solid high (mountain) boots. Even though the monsoon only lasts until mid-October, it can be very hot in November. Make sure that you wear protective but not overly warm motorcycling gear. Bring a helmet which also protects the face and chin, such as a full-face or off-road helmet.

INSURANCE
Third party insurance is not possible.
