Before making an adventure trip with Exotissimo or with any travel agents you find reliable, let's have a quick reading on this article, and you will find that cycling is much more than pedaling your feet.

Most true adventurers are well aware that cycling is really one of the best ways to explore and experience a new place. There are no barriers to separate you from the environment that surrounds you which makes for an experience that is pure, energizing and magically engaging. When combining this essential mode of travel with Southeast Asia's rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes and charming friendliness, you will doubtless be rewarded with a rollercoaster ride of a lifetime.

Pedaling across sandy beaches and hidden trails, 'saddle travel' gives you exciting access to the remote regional wonders so often bypassed by trains and buses. Explore the ancient kingdoms of Bagan and Ayuthaya, the ethnic tribal towns of Vietnam, or the scenic villages of Bangkok's undiscovered "Urban Jungle", and all at your own pace.

Cycling is also the ideal way to fully experience the region's stunning and diverse scenery.

Whether pedaling through orchards or rainforests, gliding along the Mekong or spectacular coastal trails, or rising to the challenge of a hilly stretch, cycling is a sensory overload of scenes, smells and even tastes that just can't be replicated in the confines of a car!

The freedom of biking also allows for a uniquely intimate interaction with the communities you encounter as you ride. Weaving through temples, market crowds and villagers, you can pause at any time to chat and interact with locals, take a well-earned breather and experience the customary warmth (and tasty delicacies!) of the region.
