Today begins in Sra Em, a quiet town located near the Thai-Cambodian border. Known as the gateway to the spectacular Preah Vihear Temple, Sra Em offers breathtaking views and an introduction to Cambodia's rural charm. Once you leave Sra Em, you'll pedal through serene countryside roads flanked by lush greenery and traditional stilted houses.

One of the key highlights of today is the stop at Anlong Veng, a town with deep historical ties to the Khmer Rouge. Here, some of the regime's final battles took place before their eventual surrender to government forces in the late 1990s. 

Pol Pot's Grave: The simple, unadorned resting place of the Khmer Rouge leader serves as a reminder of Cambodia's painful past. Ta Mok's House: Known as "The Butcher," Ta Mok was one of the Khmer Rouge's most notorious figures. His house, now a museum, provides insight into the regime's leadership. The Dangrek Mountains: This natural border between Thailand and Cambodia was a refuge for Khmer Rouge soldiers, offering both protection and isolation. Exploring Anlong Veng is a sobering experience, but it also highlights Cambodia's people's resilience and ability to move forward.

Stopping at Banteay Srei, one of Cambodia's most stunning temples. Known as the "Citadel of Women," this 10th-century temple is celebrated for its intricate carvings and pink sandstone construction. The final leg of the day involves a transfer to Siem Reap
