Join us on one of our spectacular rides through Kanchanaburi, a region noted for its rugged beauty, 130km West of Bangkok. We have put together two fantastic itineraries combining the great roads, awe-inspiring landscape and history of this special region. Discover the feeling of true seclusion riding through deserted jungle regions far from civilization and lose yourself staying at some of our unforgettable waterside resorts. Water is a theme running through these two tours as we discover and follow the rivers, reservoirs and waterfalls that make up this region.

You'll visit the actual bridge over the River Kwai, and ride through the area where the POWs built the 'Death Railway'. You’ll ride deep into the jungle to a remote Burmese border post. Encounter working elephants, some of the few remaining in Thailand. Enjoy a close, once in a lifetime experience with the tigers at the famous Tiger Temple and take home with you some very special memories.

Cycling in this region on the whole is not difficult, with a few fabulous but straightforward climbs enjoying spectacular views over the reservoirs, fertile valleys and jagged limestone mountains that make up Kanchanaburi Province. Our two itineraries here offer a mix of exciting cycling and leisurely afternoons in tune with the easy pace of life to be found here. You'll see that this region has a truly magical atmosphere.

Join us on our 11-day tour through this region of the River Kwai, or if you are looking for a shorter less challenging trip then book our 7-day or 5-day versions of this tour. Whichever you choose, you will not be disappointed.
