All about the trip
Visit one of the world's great monuments, Angkor Wat. After experiencing the sun rising behind the temple, walk through the site when it is at its quietest and most inspiring. We also visit the famous temples of Ta Prohm and The Bayon, in addition to some smaller, less-visited sites in this UNESCO World Heritage Archeological Park.
The tour starts with a 5:00 am pickup from your hotel. The van will take you through the busy streets around town right to the Angkor Archeological Park and the Angkor Wat temple and your guide will pick out the perfect position to watch the dawn break. If the weather gods are with you, the sun will rise behind the majestic spires of Angkor Wat and provide the most stunning of silhouettes. This is truly a profound experience. As the crowds of tourists disperse, you will have Angkor to yourselves in the best temperature and light of the day. Your guide will take you through this ancient wonder to give you an overview of Angkor Wat after which you enjoy breakfast, just outside the temple area in peaceful surroundings The rest of the day is spent cycling the back trails through thick forest to ancient ruins, stopping at both iconic and lesser-known temples. Among others, we park our bikes at the many faces of Bayon and the jungle swallowed Ta Prohm, both must-sees. Enjoy pedaling through the mysterious jungle surrounding the temples before we take lunch by the small reservoir called Sra Srang. As the day heats up, we drive back to town and your hotel. You can expect to arrive back at around 2 pm.
