TOUR SUMMARY
Cycling has to be the best way to see the temples
complexes of Angkor, nothing can compare
to cycling through a thousand years of Khmer
history. Our Cambodian temple guide will ensure
that full explanations are given on all that you
will see. A remarkable facet of Angkor
unlike many historical sites is that it is a
hive of activity as there are dozens of farming
communities dotted around this area, a chance to
see ordinary Cambodian people going about their
everyday life. This is a chance to se rural
Cambodian life amongst a rich history.
RIDING PROFILE
We ride approximately 135 km on roads that are tarmac or
broken tarmac. There are no real technical
sections and this trip can be completed by most
