Today you start your first self-guided cycling loop. Riding through a village and a wooded area, you reach the South Gate of Angkor Thom, then follow the impressive city wall and moat – one of the most scenic sections to ride within the Angkor complex.

You then explore key monuments inside Angkor Thom, such as the Terrace of the Elephants, the former Royal Palace area, Baphuon and the richly carved Bayon Temple. Your cycling adventure concludes at magnificent Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, once the capital of the Khmer Empire and now Cambodia’s iconic symbol.

Following the river out of town, you pedal towards Banteay Kdei before continuing to the atmospheric Ta Prohm, famous for its massive tree roots and dense vegetation entwined with the temple stones. From here your route links a series of 12th–13th century temples, including the enigmatic Preah Khan and the small island temple of Neak Poan.

You finish the loop with two 10th-century temples, East Mebon and Pre Rup, whose brick towers glow beautifully in the late-afternoon light. On the way back you ride through open countryside dotted with rice fields and pause to admire sunset over the reservoir of Srah Srang.

Starting from Siem Reap, you soon leave the main road to follow a narrow path towards lesser-known temples. This route leads you along small traditional houses, emerald-green fields and herds of water buffalo. You cycle past rice paddies, patches of forest and broad open spaces until you reach the vast West Baray reservoir.

Afterwards, you visit several small, almost secret temples and enjoy an exceptional ride along the ancient walls. The day ends with sunset at the little temple tower of Prasat Chrung, set on one of the corners of the city walls, a peaceful spot with far-reaching views.
