| TOUR SUMMARY |
| Cycling has to be the best way to see the temples complexes of
Angkor, nothing can compare to cycling through a thousand years of
Khmer history. Our Cambodian temple guide will ensure that full
explanations are given on all that you will see. A remarkable facet of
Angkor unlike many historical sites is that it is a hive of activity
as there are dozens of farming communities dotted around this area, a
chance to see ordinary Cambodian people going about their everyday
life. This is a chance to se rural Cambodian life amongst a rich
history. |

| ITINERARY |
| Day 1 |
Siem Reap 30 km [L]
Pick up from hotel or meet up at our bike depot for bike
fitting and safety briefing. We then ride to the Angkor Temple
complex before starting the Grand Circuit which includes Angkor
Thom, the South Gate, the Bayon, Baphoun, the Terrace of the
Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King. After a picnic lunch
continue to cycle to Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm, Ta Keo and back to
Siem Reap. We do stop at each major temple area and you will have
plenty of time to explore and take pictures as your temple guide
will inform you about all the history of this magnificent area. At
sunset we return to the temples by car for a sunset view from
Phnom Bakheng. Lunch at Angkor Café. |

|
| Day 2 |
Siem Reap 51 km [L]
Leaving Siem Reap by bike after breakfast we enter the temple
complex by an alternative route and much quieter gate. We then
ride through the complex taking some smaller roads. Once we leave
the main complex we enter into the countryside and we turn off the
main tourist road to Banteay Srei. We will pass many local
villages and schools and people going about their day to day
business and getting a really good feel for life in Cambodia. On
the way we have a chance to visit Banteay Samre often missed but
well worth a visit. This is one of the best rides on the tour. We
stop at Banteay Srei for a well earned rest before continuing on
to Kbal Spean (River of 1,000 Lingas) and lunch at Sovann Kbal
Spean restaurant. After lunch hiking to the top to view the
riverbed carvings, we hike back to the start point and transfer by
bus back to Siem Reap. |
