Begin your two-wheeled adventure at Srah Srang before continuing to the photogenic temple of Ta Prohm, made famous due to it's appearance in Tomb Raider. Wind your way through temple sites without having to retrace your steps. Undisturbed by crowds of tourists, this is one of the most exhilarating ways to explore the area.
You'll continue and will head through the forest to the seldom-visited Ta Nei temple – there is reasonable chance of having this beautiful Angkor sight to yourself to explore. Pedal on to Ta Keo, known as the 'mountain with bronze peaks', and admire its five-tiered pyramid structure.
Continue on your cycling tour along the path beside the 8m / 26 ft high laterite city wall to the Death Gate, then cycle beside the city wall to South Gate, to end your bike tour and return to Siem Reap by car.
This is a wonderful experience and ideal for those who consider themselves a little active and adventurous.
A light breakfast is provided for you during this tour. Please note you are required to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and below the knee, it is also suggested to wear comfortable shoes.
