Tag 3: Angkor-Komplex, ‘Lange Tour’ mit dem Fahrrad
Während dieser Radtour werden Sie die berühmten und abgelegenen, schönen Angkor-Tempel erkunden. Indem Sie mit dem Fahrrad auf engen, unberührten Pfaden, durch wilde Wälder, Tempel und Dörfer fahren, erreichen Sie unterschiedliche Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Sie werden Ihr Hotel am Morgen verlassen und entlang des Flusses fahren und schließlich in den Wald, bis Sie Banteay Kdei erreichen. Weiter geht es zum majestätischen Ta Phrom, der berühmt für die ihn überwuchernde Vegetation ist, die eins mit den Ruinen geworden ist. Von dort aus besuchen Sie eine Abfolge von Tempeln aus dem 12. und 13. Jahrhundert, unter ihnen der geheimnisvolle Preah Khan und ein kleiner Inseltempel namens Neak Poan. Ihr Besuch endet mit zwei Tempeln aus dem 10. Jahrhundert: Östlicher Mebon und Pre Rup.
Auf dem Rückweg fahren Sie mit Ihrem Fahrrad durch die Landschaft und können schöne Reisfelder sehen, bevor Sie einen Halt einlegen, um den Sonnenuntergang über Srah Srang zu bewundern.

Tag 4: Westlicher Baray und geheime Tempel mit dem Fahrrad
Diese Ganztagstour ist zweifellos eine der erstaunlichsten Fahrradtouren, die Sie in Kambodscha machen können. Sie starten in Siem Reap, verlassen die Straße, um einen winzigen Pfad zu nehmen, und begeben sich in Richtung der Tempel. Hier beginnt eine wunderschöne Tour entlang kleiner Häuser, grüner Felder und Wasserbüffelherden. Vielleicht werden Ihre Füße nass, wenn Sie mitten durch einige fließende Bäche fahren. Auf dem Weg können Sie die Landschaft erkunden und heimische Menschen beobachten. Die Landschaften verändern sich während Ihrer Tour ständig: Sie passieren Reisfelder, Wälder und einige weite, offene Flächen, bis Sie schließlich den Westlichen Baray erreichen. Es handelt sich um den größten Baray in Angkor. Er ist rechteckig und misst fast 7,8 mal 2,1 Kilometer.
Danach besuchen Sie nacheinander kleine und geheime Tempel; Sie werden vermutlich der einzige Besucher dort sein. Anschließend fahren Sie zum Angkor-Thom-Tor und begeben sich für eine außergewöhnliche Fahrt auf die Mauer. Schauen Sie sich den Sonnenuntergang beim kleinen Tempelturm Prasat Chrung an, welcher sich in einer der Ecken der Mauern befindet, bevor Sie zurück nach Siem Reap fahren.
