Red-earth trails through rubber plantations, jungle tracks to temples that see a handful of visitors a day, highland grassland and quiet coastal back roads - ridden with people who know every junction.
My Travel Factory runs four guided dirt bike expeditions across Cambodia on the fuel-injected Honda CRF250L, from 9 to 10 days and 900 to 1,300 km: the Cardamom & Wild West Trail, the Northern Temple Trail, the Highlands Expedition and Temples to the Coast. Every departure is fully supported - a lead guide rides with the group, a sweep rider and mechanic ride at the rear, and a support vehicle carries luggage, spare parts, fuel and water. Groups are typically 2 to 8 riders, and the season runs November to April.

Red-earth tracks through the Cardamom foothills and old frontier country to Pailin, Battambang and Angkor.
Mekong dolphins, the Prey Lang frontier, Preah Vihear on its cliff, then Koh Ker, Beng Mealea and Angkor.
Rolling hills, pine grassland, waterfalls and crater lakes in Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri, back along the Mekong.
The perfect introduction: Angkor, pre-Angkorian ruins and silk villages, then pepper farms, Kep crab and the coast.
A light, forgiving and famously reliable fuel-injected dual-sport bike, equally at home on jungle single-track, sandy river trails and paved highway. Bikes are serviced before every departure and checked daily by our mechanic. The compact tank gives roughly 200 to 250 km on mixed terrain, so fuel stops are planned in advance and the support vehicle carries extra fuel on remote stages.
The main season runs from November to April, when trails are dry and the weather is at its most comfortable. From May to October the green season brings heavy afternoon rain and some remote sections - especially in the Cardamoms and around Preah Vihear - can become impassable. Green-season departures run on adjusted routes with support-vehicle bypasses.
Each day starts with a route briefing. Groups ride at a pace set for the least experienced rider and the sweep rider makes sure nobody is left behind. Guides carry first-aid kits and mobile communication, and there is an evacuation plan for every stage. Where a section is beyond a rider's comfort level, the support vehicle carries both rider and bike.
Riding gear rental (helmet, boots, jacket and body armour), an upgrade to the Honda CRF300L, a non-riding partner travelling in the support vehicle, private departures on your own dates, and pre- and post-tour hotel nights.
Routes scouted and ridden by Cambodia-based guides, and re-checked after every rainy season.
Lead guide, sweep rider-mechanic and a support vehicle on every departure.
Well-maintained Honda CRF250Ls - light and reliable on any surface.
Typically 2 to 8 riders, with boutique hotels, riverside guesthouses and village homestays.
