Five countries form the backdrop to a journey through spectacular scenery and a multitude of cultures in South East Asia. The rally explores both coastal and mountainous scenery in southern Vietnam including the delta of the mighty Mekong river. In Cambodia it stops at both the much visited Angkor Wat and the lesser known Preah Vihear ruins, taking in rivers, waterfalls, and the Cardamon mountains.
