Siem Reap Province is basically the cradle of Angkorian civilization and it is a province that offers plenty of opportunity to tourists enthralled by the Khmer culture. The ruins of Angkor, located amid forests and Farland, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are over one thousand temples ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat which is said to be the world’s largest single religious monument. There are dozens of temple ruins in the Siem Reap area and it depends largely on how much time one has and one’s level of interest to determine how long one should spend to explore them.

Itinerary

Our cycling tour starts at 7:30 am from your hotel in Siem Reap town. First stop will be Angkor Wat temple. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is built facing to the west and this has scholars divided as to its significance. This magnificent temple combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture; the temple mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early South Indian Hindu architecture. Surrounded by a moat, an outer wall with three rectangular galleries, and a quincunx of towers in the center, clearly indicates that the Angkor Wat temple was designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology. The extensive bas-reliefs and the numerous guardian spirits adorning its walls serve as evidence of the strong Khmer religious beliefs.

Discover the mysteries this jungle has to offer as we cycle down narrow tracks and hidden dirt paths to iconic temples such as Bayon or Ta Prohm, and some of the lesser-known ancient structures.

The tour will be finished around lunch time, you can choose to come back to town for lunch or have lunch at a local restaurant. Our team are able to help arrange the booking.
