Detailed itinerary

1

Welcome to brief at our office or at the hotel.

2
Stop 2

We ride through peaceful forest trails and quiet back roads, avoiding the main tourist traffic. As the iconic towers of Angkor Wat rise above the trees, your guide shares their fascinating history. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu before gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple. The temple remains the world’s largest religious monument. Take time to explore the intricate carvings, towering galleries, and grand moat that symbolize Mount Meru — the mythical home of the gods.

3
Stop 3

We continue cycling toward Angkor Thom, the great walled city established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII after repelling Cham invaders. Passing through the South Gate, lined with stone gods and demons, we arrive at Bayon Temple, famous for its 54 towers, each decorated with over 200 serene, smiling faces. These faces are believed to represent either the king himself or the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a symbol of compassion. Nearby, we may also pass the Terrace of the Elephants and the Royal Palace area, once the center of imperial power.

4

Cycle toward the Victory Gate (often mistakenly called the “Death Gate”), historically used for ceremonial processions and military movements.

5
Stop 5

Enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch in a peaceful setting. Refuel with authentic local dishes, fresh fruits, and cold drinks — well deserved after a morning of exploration.

6
Stop 6

After lunch, we ride our bikes to Ta Prohm, also known as the Tomb Raider Temple. Built in 1186 by King Jayavarman VII, it served as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike many other temples, Ta Prohm remains largely in its natural state. Massive silk-cotton and strangler fig trees grow through the ancient stone walls, creating one of Angkor’s most atmospheric sights. It offers a powerful illustration of how the jungle reclaimed the temples after the Khmer Empire's decline in the 15th century.

Return Back to Unique Adventure Office for refreshment or transfer back to Hotel.
