and into the countryside, whether by car, bicycle, dirtbike, ATV or whatever. The majority of Cambodians live and work in the rural areas and a countryside tour or even a day trip to a remote temple can provide a glimpse of ‘real Cambodia’ - bucolic scenery, paddies and water buffalos, pagodas and little villages of traditional stilted houses, jungle shrouded temples like Koh Ker and

Beng Melea. Some tour operators, including those below, specialize in adventure, cultural and eco-tours, dirtbiking and bicycle touring, the Tonle Sap Lake.
