SIEM REAP FULL DAY
BIKING TOUR
ANGKOR THOM AND TA
PROHM AND ANGKOR WAT
Start at 8:00 am Depart by bike to Angkor Thom, the ancient royal city of the Khmer Empire with its centerpiece;
the Bayon temple. Although it may look like a shapeless mass of stone, further
scrutiny reveals towers with enigmatic faces of former King Jayavarman VII. Please continue to the Terrace of the Elephants, which served as a platform from where the King
could welcome back his victorious army, and the Terrace of the Leper King, which
holds perfect carvings winding along a narrow passage-way that leads to the
Baphuon complex. Continue to Ta Prohm, considered to be one of Angkor’s jewels
with its overgrown fig trees, giving a haunting yet exotic atmosphere. The
magnificent roots of the trees have merged over the centuries with the
temple’s huge stone blocks, emphasizing a ‘forgotten city’ feeling. Lunch is
served in a local restaurant on the way. In the afternoon, continue cycling to
Angkor Wat, one of the modern wonders of the world. The temples are set among a
large forest with shaded roads which are relatively quiet and suitable for
cycling. On arrival at the temple, drop off the bikes and stroll through the
intricately carved hallways that still show hundreds of fine carvings of Apsara
and Hindu mythology and discover small shrines still in use today by the local
people. Be amazed by the sheer size of the temple and learn how the Khmer
Empire prospered between the 11th and 13th centuries. Continue cycling around the
complex before heading back to the checkpoint from where you transfer back to
your hotel. (Maximum of 30 km cycling)
