Angkor Dirt Bike Tours is not your typical tour company, and this Extreme Rally Raid is like not like anything that you may have experienced before. Hundreds of people have ridden our rallies and all are unanimous in the opinion that this event is truly unique.

Sure, there are still a few untouched areas around the world where no foreigners travel, but they are few and far between. These days, you can be at base camp Mt. Everest and still have people trying to sell you a can of coke. We on the other hand can take you places where there are no roads and no cars OR cans of Coke -- perfect dirt bike territory.

Angkor Dirt Bike Tours goes where no other tour companies dare.

Along the way we'll also pass through a few provincial capitals (such as Siem Reap, home to the world famous temples of Angkor Wat ), so there are hot showers and cold beers available during certain sections of the rally.

After 9 years, the annual Angkor Dirt Bike Tours Extreme Rally Raid has covered more than 20,000 kilometres of roads, trails, and ox-cart tracks. We have had more than 275 riders join us. We have handed out more than 3,100 mosquito nets courtesy of W.H.O. We have delivered anti-malaria tablets and de-worming tablets in remote villages and more.

Nobody knows Cambodia's jungle tracks or has covered as many kilometres as Angkor Dirt Bike Tours. Yet there are still areas that rarely get visitors, and this year we are going to spend the first three to four days finding our way through some of Cambodia's most remote areas. (No guarantees are given that we will find the correct route, but half the fun is getting from A to B).

So if you want to see the real Cambodia, with the advantage of having a guide with a full set of motorcycle spare parts, a senior's first aid certificate and of course a first aid kit, plus 10 years experience riding around Cambodia, then register for the Angkor Dirt Bike Tour's Extreme Rally Raid for the full 12-day, 2,000-km ride.

Experienced dirt bikers only need apply for the full 12 days. But for those who would like to sample the circus that is the Extreme Rally Raid, the Raid can be broken into five- or nine-day segments, with easy returns to Phnom Penh. If you've make the first nine days, why not press on and see if you can push your own limits to the extreme.

Since Cambodia opened up in the late 1990s it is safe to say less than 200 riders have travelled any route we undertake, and most of those have travelled with us. The 2008 route contains some of SE Asia's last untouched rainforest, and living in within this unique area are some of the last tigers outside of china/india, as well as wild elephants, crocodiles, gibbons and many other species still being documented.

The riding is intermediate for the first 6 days, then builds up to intermediate/expert sections. Stamina is required rather than riding skill to finish this run.

Firstly, it must be stated that is a non-competitive event. Everyone is able to ride at their own pace. We have riders acting as sweepers who travel behind the group, making sure that nobody is left behind. Sweepers are also of capable of repairing the occasional flat tyre or managing any other difficulty that riders may come across. To complete this rally it is more a matter of endurance, rather than a high level of skill, although you must be able to ride the occasional sandy trail.

So, if you enjoy sliding around dirt roads, pulling wheelies and jumping bridges at over 100 km/h, then you won't be alone.

But if you just want to cruise along at 60 kmh and enjoy the sights we have got you covered also.

Angkor Dirt Bike Tours is still after all these years the only company to travel to the very, very remote corners of Cambodia, where the real adventure is. If you want to ride flat-graded roads and stay in hotels every night, that's fine, but the Extreme Rally Raid is not for you.

This year the cost for international riders is $1,250 for the first 5 days of the rally. Included in this price is motorcycle hire, petrol, meals, accommodation. After these first five days, if you are still confident and ready for more, you are more than welcome to join us for the second section as long as you pay your own way (So all up figure on $1,750 USD for the full 12 days ).

Also, we are still after all these years the only company to travel to the very, very remote corners of Cambodia where the real adventure is. If you want to ride flat-graded roads and stay in hotels every night, that's fine. Just choose another company to ride with, as that's not what we do.

Price is $1,750usd ( you pay us $1250 for the first 5 days ,then pay your own way till the end ).

All up -- unless you become a party animal in Siem Reap or choose a night of luxury 5-star accommodation -- you will be hard pressed spending more than $1,750USD for the whole 12 days.

Insurance is not included in the prices above and is optional. Insurance prices are available in the FAQ.

A non refundable deposit of $200usd is required by the 15th of December
