コース

Most of the route is on off-road tracks with partly sandy ground, gravel or forest soil. Only in very few cases (mostly in the area of Angkor), will there be asphalted ground.

Depending on the amount of rain falls parts of the track can be muddy. In this case, please be aware that you might have to cross some deeper water holes.

The course is mostly flat and you will be faced with only two significant ascents only, one to 430m, the other to 212m. The same applies for decents.

Two major traffic roads have to be crossed. Please be careful when crossing!!!

En route, you will go through numerous small villages. Please do not take any food or beverage from the locals.

Usually locals use their motorbike on the tracks, so please be aware of that.

As Angkor is a very famous tourist destination, some road traffic during the last stage in the area of Angkor can be expected.
