CAMBODIA – Siem Reap – Angkor Complex, ‘Long Tour’ By Bicycle

Description

“Angkor Long Tour” is designed to supplement the “Angkor Short Tour” with more visits of other famous and beautiful Angkorian temples. It is a great opportunity to visit a succession of small yet charming temples inside the Angkor complex through this adventurous journey. Different archaeological sites are visited by bike over untouched and tiny trails, through the wild forest and charming villages. Leaving the hotel in the morning and ride along the river, enter the forest and arrive to Banteay Kdei, the first temple to visit is the majestic Ta Prohm. This temple is famous for the way the surrounding vegetation has blended into the ruins and was also the setting of one of the Tomb Raider movies. From there, it’s easy to access to a succession of temples from the 12th and 13th centuries, among them the mysterious Preah Khan and a small island temple called Neak Poan. The visit ends at two temples from the 10th century which are still quite impressive: the East Mebon and Pre Rup temples. On the way back there is a chance to ride the bike in the countryside and see beautiful rice fields before stopping to watch the sunset at Srah Srang.
