ANGKOR CYCLING TOURS
Private Angkor Cycling Tour
Two days by bike through Angkor’s temples, jungle backroads, and Siem Reap, ending with Cambodia’s most unexpected night out
Two sides of Cambodia. One through Angkor’s temple forests and quieter backroads by bike, with a local guide setting the pace. The other through Siem Reap’s streets, markets, and history, ending at Phare, Cambodia’s circus, where the country’s story is brought into the present.
Description
Your first morning begins with a tuk-tuk drop at Bayon, where stone faces greet you in silence. From there, you cycle through Angkor’s parkland past jungle ruins, rice paddies, and local pagodas. Climb Pre Rup for open views, then stop at Wat Thmei, where Cambodia’s more recent history is quietly remembered.
The afternoons shift the lens. One is spent inside Angkor Wat, tracing its symbolism with your guide, then out on the water at sunset. The other moves through Siem Reap’s streets and riverside temples, ending with dinner at a standout Khmer restaurant and a performance at Phare Circus.
