Khiri packages bike and hike tours

Khiri Travel has introduced seven urban and rural walks and cycle trips in Southeast Asia.
Three new walking tours have been designed to satisfy lovers of food, architecture and Asian urbania. The Phnom Penh walking tour navigates through streets packed with vendors selling noodles, sweetmeats and delicacies including apaing — deep-fried spiders. The trip ends in a brewery to calm the nerves.
The Phuket Old Town walking tour uncovers the Chinese clan heritage of this former tin mining island. The town’s Sino-Portuguese architectural heritage and what remains of the mansions of tin mining barons. The highlight is bijou Soi Romanee lane where guests can get a haircut in an old barber shop.

The Yangon Heritage Walk celebrates the city with the largest number of extant colonial buildings in all of Southeast Asia. The well-researched video Restoring Yangon indicates what to expect.
Cyclists have three choices: Cycling the Plain of Jars in Laos, Bicycling Bagan without Temples (a trip across the Irrawaddy River to new Bagan), and Ben Tre in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, which spotlights family traditions across three generations of a rural household.

A two-day insight into the Karen mountain people (with overnight in the village) includes a bamboo raft ride, forest hike, gathering vegetables in the garden and food preparation. The setting is in Huay Khao Lip mountain area, a 90-minute drive from Chiang Mai.
Khiri Travel CEO and co-founder, Willem Niemeijer said: “These seven trips have been specifically designed to allow our guests to get closer to communities, enhance understanding and make local discoveries not available on most other outings.”
