Today’s ride will begin early with a trip up to the Angkor jungle trails. We start to avoid the inevitable crowds drawn to the wonders of the Angkor complex. The various temples are spread over a wide area and are linked by shady avenues; meandering our way between them by bike gives us a unique perspective.

Our visit includes Angkor Wat temple, the largest religious monument ever built, and a wander through the city’s mystical courtyards and jungle-covered temples, the best known and most breathtaking of all the sights and a highlight of any visit to Angkor. Spend time exploring the ruins of Angkor Wat, the magnificent 12th-century capital of the Khmer Empire, with our expert guide.

Afterward, we cycle to the jungle-covered Ta Prohm, with the amazing roots of the Fromagier trees clinging to the ancient stones. Next, visit Preah Khan’s majestic temple complex, which is surrounded by a moat, and Angkor Thom, with the famous Bayon temple, which has 37 towers topped with the four faces of the king. After our visits to these magnificent temples, we cycle back to Siem Reap.

Today we ride beyond the crowds, cycling through picturesque villages in the Siem Reap countryside. And we head toward the vast wetlands on the edge of Asia’s largest freshwater lake, Tonle Sap. It is time to swap the bike for a boat adventure down to explore the bird sanctuary. Prek Toal is the largest waterbird colony in Southeast Asia. You’ll access the bird colonies inside the core reserve, which also plays an important factor.

After exiting the sanctuary, we venture to visit the village that builds its houses on stilts, often up to ten meters high, but Mechrey is in fact a floating village. The entire village floats and moves with the receding or increasing waters, thereby continually shifting its location throughout the seasons. We’ll have the opportunity to kayak through the gently lapping waters of the village to witness and learn about the daily lifestyle of the local inhabitants. We’ll return to Siem Reap town in the late afternoon

Today, we cycle through the picturesque Siem Reap vegetable village, where most of the vegetables and herbs you find in dishes served throughout Siem Reap are grown. Here you can get your farming skills on and pick your own veggies, which will later be used for lunch.

Following that, we’ll go to the outdoor market where the locals buy their fresh ingredients, where you’ll learn about the local specialties and select the best local snacks and fruits to try.

Soon, you’ll be able to leave the tarmac behind and pedal down small dirt paths through the scenic countryside, watching local farmers cultivate and harvest their crops. You’ll also see the water buffaloes lounging about in the mud, so photo opportunities will be endless. Expect friendly greetings from locals as they go about their daily activities.

For lunch, we will get to visit a lovely local family where you’ll learn how to cook Cambodian food using the ingredients we collected throughout the tour.
