A blog entry by proxy from Alex B, back from a survey trip in Angkor Wat!

Robin,

We found a multitude of great trails, mostly winding through beautiful countryside, and some leading to more remote Temples. We (re)discovered Beng Melea, which 8 years ago was nearly inaccessible. Today a new paved road leads to the place.

Thanks to the slowly developing rural area, we found great dirt trails to reach it.

We managed a few 60km to 70 km loops, which will be part of our programs.

Cycling through rural Cambodia is always a pleasure and at this period, despite some rain, the experience is just awesome. I still think that Angkor Wat and its area is best visited by bicycle!

The Wild Lodge and NorthernTrails team are planning biking tours in Angkor Wat, starting this November, from the Wild Lodge.

Coming soon is our scheduled trips in combination with cycling at Kao Ito, near the Lodge, and in Chiang-Mai.

During our sojourn, we stayed at the comfortable Pavillion Indochine,

(http://www.pavillon-indochine.com) a hotel I can strongly recommend.

On the road again, Alex
