half days outside Siem Reap - trip code APKC09
US$49
Escape the crowds, the busy roads and the well worn trail at Angkor. Cycle the small tracks and minor roads to see a different side of the Angkor Temples. This is a guided tour of the most intriguing of the major temples. We visit Tha Prom, The Elephant Terrace and the Bayon as well as a couple of less visited ones along the way. We finish with a ride on small trails through the villages and back to town. This is a truly enjoyable ride on a good bike with a friendly Cambodian cycling guide.
If you can ride a bike, then you will love this ride. The distance is approximately 30km on mainly flat tracks and small roads. We will stop often for photos, temple exploration on foot and refreshments.
Itinerary
Meet at The Grasshopper Shop at 7:30am, just over the river from the old market. Bring camera, sunglasses, sunscreen and comfortable cycling clothes. You will start with a ride out towards the main temple area on a small road following the river, we pay a visit to Angkor Wat, then cycle the main circuit road and just as we enter Angkor Thom, we leave the road and spend the rest of the day on charming, quiet trails through these majestic structures. We visit The Bayon, famous for its serene faces and The Elephant Terrace while our lunch is prepared. After lunch we visit Tha Prom, known commonly as the jungle temple, with tree roots attempting to reclaim the ruins. From here we ride a red dirt road and then some great small tracks back to town.
You can expect to return to Siem Reap around 3pm.
