Angkor is one of Southeast Asia’s most significant archaeological treasures. Spanning approximately 400 square kilometers, including forested areas, the Angkor Archaeological Park houses the majestic remnants of several Khmer Empire capitals, dating from the 9th to the 15th century. Highlights include the iconic Angkor Wat Temple and the richly decorated Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom. Recognizing its cultural value, UNESCO has launched a comprehensive preservation program to protect this extraordinary site and its surroundings.
This is a highlight of your journey. You'll transfer to the entrance of Angkor Wat to begin a scenic cycling route that weaves through the ancient ruins. Ride past some of the most notable temples, including Ta Prohm—famous for its tree-entwined structures—before heading to Angkor Thom to explore Bayon Temple and the Terrace of the Elephants. Marvel at the enigmatic stone faces and intricate carvings that adorn these timeless monuments. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your exploration of Angkor’s hidden corners and jungle trails. After a fulfilling day of discovery, return to Siem Reap.
