    I'm trying to work out which one to go on... being veggie can limit the options (Mongolia is a non starter :cry: )

    I like the idea of using these guys as the money goes directly to the locals and you keep the impact of tourism to a minimum

    Seeing as that is the kind of holiday to appeal to the knit-your-own-sandals tree-hugging hippy-crap brigade, would they not cater for veggies?

    Serious question, it's just asked sarcastically. I quite like the look of it.

    It's the food available locally - Mongolians have 10 times more cattle than people - so they have very little concept of us weiry beardies :wink:

    Laos Borneo and the like seem the most appealing at the moment (although the Transylvania would be well cool 8) )

    Fancy Ho Chi Minh city to Angkor Wat - mostly Buddhist so no problems with vegetarianism

    Well, if you'd like to scroll slightly up the thread, you'll see me jumping enthusiastically to an incorrect assumption.

    Carry on.

    Now that would be awesome.

    Fully agree - how about saying you've cycled in the Himalayas?

    Actually Mongolia is mostly horses and camels depending on the area - fermented mares milk is a speciality

    Not much in the way of roads though, so beware all you roadies - the potholes will leave you breathless!

    I have been seriously thinking about acquiring an expedition-grade bike as my next n+1 for exactly this sort of escapade...

    Ho Chi Minh City to Angkor Wat via Phnom Pen is about 450 miles over 10 days - fairly easy riding I guess depending on road conditions
