Trip Profile:

This Cambodia cycle tour will start in Angkor, where the mountain bikes have been prepared. Our cycling guide will brief on the tour. Cycle is the best way to explore Cambodia as there is no other way to see more and get close to the people than cycling. Our guide will take you to cycle on the back road around Angkor complex. 

We cycle approximately 300 km mostly on tarmac roads on most of the days. From Siem Reap tow Phnom Penh, crossing Tonle Sap lake by boat. Getting around and out of Phnom Penh is probably the most busy traffic. So always keep single line. We might do a little bit transfer out the the town to avoid the busy traffic. The last 15km before approaching Sihanouk Ville, is uphill but we have support van to do transfer if needed. 

The trip combine 4 interest places to visit, Angkor, Phnom Penh, Kep and Sihanouk Ville.

It was built in 12th century by the famous King Jayavarvan VII indicated to his mother. While clearing back the forest archaeologists decided to leave the vegetation of Ta Phrom in place to serve as a reminder of how the original discoverers found it and the other Angkor temples. Many of the trees have grown around and through the remains and soar high above the temples. Continue the cycling through small circuit passing Ta Keo temple, Chao Say Tevoda, Tommanon before reaching to Angkor Thom city. There you will see, Terrace of Leper King, Terrace of Elephant, Baphoun, Phimean Akas. Stop at Bayon temple and start the visit (45 minutes-1 hour). Angkor Thom built by Cambodia's great king, Jayavarman VII. An eight-meter high wall encloses this ten square kilometre city, which is encircled by a moat. The famous Bayon, in the geographical heart of Angkor Thom, is a remarkable 54 tower temple. Initially the temple appears to be a shapeless mass of grey and brown stone, but it is only as you get closer that you realize every tower has the carved face of Avalokiteshvara on it.

After the visit, cycle to Angkor Wat to finish the small circuit. Stop at South Gate of Angkor Thom for taking photo. Access via a causeway over the moat that are flanked by statues of Gods on the left and devils on the right. Then visit the magnificent 12th century Angkor Wat.

View Feedback About This Trip:

We really loved the trip.  You guys made us feel safe without smothering us.  We liked the fact that sometimes we were just left to cycle on our own, but knew you weren't too far ahead and the van wasn't too far behind.

All the hotels were a lot better than we expected, and the one in Siem Reap, Tara Angkor Hotel, was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in.  We thought that you could have maybe offered a range of hotel options, as some people may have wanted to pay extra to stay in 5 star hotels or other may have been happier saving money and going for the 2 star option.

Food was also a big surprise.  All the restaurants were very good, although the food in the first one we ate at in Siem Reap (We think it was called Cafe Indochine) was a bit bland.  But we really did enjoy our picnic lunches!

But all in all it was one of the best holidays we have ever had, we are recommending you to our friends and we
hope to be able to see you again on a trip to Laos!ime.

We really had a great time on our trip.  It was great that you were able to work with our time frame of the random 11 days and work in as much as possible.  Highlights were the home stay, hike with the family dad, killing fields, Siem Reap hotel (Tara Angkor Hotel), Angkor wat and of course the biking.  Your planning and communication was really great before, and throughout the trip.  Thanks so much, we really had a great time on this personal tour, and have highly recommended you to other teacher friends that like to bike and travel to the countries you go to.
