more information
The temples of Angkor have long fascinated visitors and locals alike and are one of the most outstanding World Heritage Sites in Asia. Built mainly in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, it gradually changed from a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire to a Buddhist temple as it can be seen through the many different architectural styles visible. Once home to the largest city in the world, it went into a long period of decline before being partly restored since the 20th century. During this cycling tour, you will have the opportunity to visit Angkor Wat and several other temples such the Bayon, Banteay Srei with its exquisite carvings and to witness an unforgettable sunset from the top of Phnom Bakheng. In addition to these marvelous temples, you will also visit the Tonle Sap, South-East Asia’s largest lake with its distinct ethic groups and culture, floating houses and the daily life of the many fishermen who live and work there.
The program includes an “Apsara” Dance Dinner spectacle. Our services include also the transfers from/to airport – Hotel, an escort vehicle for recovering, meals and accommodation.
Our 5-day Angkor cycling tour offers you the perfect opportunity to visit this amazing World Heritage Site and to discover the quiet and easy-going daily life of the people of the province of Siem Reap. In addition to the charm of the town of Siem Reap with its colonial architecture, busy markets and vibrant nightlife, the ancient architectural wonders, the green countryside with rice fields and plantations, the vast expanse of the Tonle Sap Lake and the warm welcome of the locals will leave you with an everlasting memory.
