Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival Siem Reap

Upon arrival into Siem Reap, A BikeHike Adventures representative will transfer you to a comfortable hotel in the city. The remainder of the day is at leisure to explore Siem Reap town, nestled between beautifully, terraced rice paddies and the Siem Reap River. In the evening be sure to catch the sunset from Phnom Bakheng, for a spectacular view of the impressive Angkor ruins.

Day 2 : Angkor Temples - Siem Reap (Walking)

We'll start with a typical Cambodia breakfast and then set off on a short drive from Siem Reap to the ruins of Angkor, one of the ancient wonders of the archaeological world. The grandeur of this bygone civilization is truly astounding. We start walking from the South Gate of Angkor Thom, unique for the 54 towers decorated with over 200 colossal human faces carved in stone. We'll visit the impressive Bayon Temple, the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and the architectural masterpiece of Angkor Wat. We stroll around this massive monument, exploring the many galleries with columns, libraries, pavilions, courtyards and ponds full of water reflecting the towering temple. Overnight in the same hotel in Siem Reap. (B)

Day 3 : Angkor Temples - Siem Reap (Walking)

Today we continue our walking exploring the wondrous Angkor Complex with the jungle covered temple of Ta Prohm. There are enormous fig trees and gigantic creepers which embrace themselves in the stone foundations of this structure giving the impression of man's creation being reclaimed by the powerful forces of nature. We visit this masterpiece and some of the other nearby temples including Banteay Kdei, Sra Srong, Ta Keo, Thommanon and Chau Say Tevado. Upon leaving this area we see other various famous temples of the grand circuit. We round off our exciting day with a walk up to Phnom Bakheng Hill to admire the spectacular sunset over these sandstone monuments. Overnight in the same hotel in Siem Reap.(B)

Day 4 : Chong Khneas - Departure (Markets and Boats)

In the morning, we'll depart Siem Reap and head for the floating village of Chong Khneas. There are over 1000 houseboats that comprise this village, as well as the floating church, police station, etc. To tour the village, we'll board a traditional wooden boat and cruise on the Tonle Sap Lake, the largest in Asia. We'll also stop at a local artisan market for some last minute souvenir shopping. In the afternoon we'll transfer back to Siem Reap to connect with flights onwards. (B)
