Siem Reap: Bike the Angkor Temples - Full-Day 30km Tour

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Your first stop is the legendary Angkor Wat, where the towers rise through the morning light. After exploring its vast galleries and bas-reliefs, continue cycling toward the ancient city of Angkor Thom. Just past the gate, you leave the main road and slip onto secluded forest paths that few visitors see.

   1 hAdmission included

2. Ride beneath soaring trees and hidden ruins as you approach Bayon, famous for its serene stone faces, and the Elephant Terrace, where we take a well-deserved lunch break.

   1 hAdmission included

3. Enjoy a delicious lunch and snacks to keep you going, and learn about the culture and history of the area. • Guests who selected the “with lunch” option enjoy a tasty local meal arranged in advance. • Guests without lunch included have free time to explore or eat independently before regrouping.

   2 hAdmission included

4. In the afternoon, continue through peaceful jungle corridors to Ta Prohm, the atmospheric temple wrapped in twisting tree roots and moss-covered stones. Your guide shares the history, stories, and symbolism of each site, bringing depth and colour to every stop. From here, follow red-earth tracks and village paths as you make your way back toward town. This final stretch is relaxed, scenic, and a favourite for many guests as it passes through rural communities and quiet stretches of forest.

   1 hAdmission included

5. Expect to return to Siem Reap in the mid-afternoon, comfortably tired and with a genuine appreciation for Angkor’s landscapes, history, and everyday life along the way.

• 5Temples by cycle is the best way to go!

  An amazing experience with an amazing guide. Awesome way to see the country side, off-road villages and a different aspect of the temples rather than by car or tuk tuk. We are mid-50s and managed the flat 30km easily. Bikes were greats quality. Yes it was hot, but it wasnt a race. Mr Sarak made our day special. Great English, great knowledge, great patience. He was perfect at knowing when to give us some space. I would highky recommend this tour and recommend asking for Mr Sarek.

• 5Incredible Alternative Tour!

  Seng from Discova Bike Tour was our guide for the day and we pretty much lucked out - with only two of us on the tour and our guide it felt like a private tour. It's an early start at 7.30am meeting at the pick up point, but Seng was kind enough to sort us out with coffee's to get us started for the day before heading out on the bike. First on the tour is the incredible Angkor Wat where you spend about an hour exploring the temple. Seng was incredibly knowledgable about the history of the temple and even the markings that had been carved into the temple stones. It's then back on the bike to head to Angkor City (the city of temples) where you head to the Bayon Temple (famous for the smiling stone faces), before then setting off to the final temple of the tour, Ta Prohm (famous from the Hollywood movie "Tomb Raider") which is surrounded by lush jungle. There's plenty of time to park up the bikes and explore the temples, along with some private time to explore without the guide too. There's a set-menu lunch in a traditional Vietnamese lunch, which was absolutely delicious. After lunch it's then back to Siem Reap town (takes about 35 minutes on the bike) to complete the tour. Our guide, Seng, said that we finished quite early, and that the tours normally finish finish around 3.30-4pm. We finished at 2.30pm, but probably because there was only 2 of us! It's a very enjoyable day, cycling some 19 miles through the forests and the temples. We'd highly recommend as an alternative to the traditional tours!

• 5Exercise and history combo

  Absolutely perfect day. Learned a lot about the history of the temples, region and Cambodian culture. We had such an adventure riding bikes around the jungle with Lem, who was such an excellent guide. The biking was fun, especially since we got to bike around areas through the jungle surrounding the temples on trails we never would have discovered or dare go on ourselves.

• 5Great day at great location!

  I truly enjoyed the bike tour to the Angkor temples. By bicycle, the main temples are very easily accessible, and my guide Sarak chose beautiful trails through the forest that were much more pleasant to ride than simply staying on the main road. Sarak is also a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He not only shared information about the Angkor temples but also provided valuable insights into Cambodia’s history as well as Hindu and Buddhist religions.

• 5Amazing

  Great day out with a great Guide. Took us into the temples via rear routes away from the crowds. One of the most amazing things I have done. However this is not for everyone. It was incredibly hot and by lunch time was almost too hot and needed options to cool off as it was almost unbearable. The day would have been better off being shorter and finishing by lunch. After lunch we had all had enough. Shame as brilliant adventure.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the riverside town beside Angkor, Cambodia's vast complex of Khmer temples, with night markets, river walks and a relaxed centre.

Angkor Wat, often called the largest religious monument in the world, rises above its moat in a silhouette of lotus-bud towers that is breathtaking at sunrise. Nearby, the walled city of Angkor Thom holds the Bayon, with its more than two hundred serene stone faces, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Baphuon, while Ta Prohm is gripped by the roots of giant silk-cotton and strangler fig trees.
