• Ta Prohm - Begin the day by meeting a personal guide and driver to explore some of Angkor’s most remarkable temples by bicycle. Utilize back roads and jungle trails to escape the usual tourist paths and enjoy Angkor in tranquility. Depart from Siem Reap early, taking a forest route to bypass traffic, and navigate past the walls of Banteay Kdei to reach the North Gate of Ta Prohm. Known as the ‘jungle temple,’ it has been left to nature, illustrating how empires rise and fall while nature’s power continues unabated, indifferent to human history’s dramas. Preserved as it was ‘discovered’ by French explorer Henri Mouhot in 1860, the tree roots here gradually envelop the remaining stones, symbolizing man’s initial conquest of nature to build, and nature’s eventual reclamation. This site was featured in Lara Croft’s “Tomb Raider” adventures.
• Ta Nei Temple - Continue cycling to Ta Nei, a small, secluded temple in the jungle that receives few visitors. It is necessary to carry the bicycle across an old French dam to cross the Siem Reap River.
• Angkor Thom South Gate - After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, enter the vast walled city of Angkor Thom, a masterpiece by King Jayavarman VII, through the Victory Gate and proceed to the East Gate. Climb the walls of Angkor Thom and cycle around the southeast quadrant to visit the atmospheric Prasat Chrung, a rarely visited temple overlooking Angkor Thom’s expansive moat.
• Bayon Temple - Cycle from the South Gate to the Bayon and explore Angkor Thom’s main temples, including Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Preah Palilay, Terrace of the Leper King, and Preah Pithu.

Bayon Temple is renowned for its mysterious faces of Lokesvara, the Buddha of Compassion, which are said to closely resemble the great King Jayavarman VII. Baphuon is known as the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle because the French dismantled it stone by stone in the 1960s for restoration, only for all records to be lost during the Khmer Rouge era. Cycling along the back paths to Angkor Thom’s lesser-known temples, such as Preah Palilay and Preah Pithu, offers a fulfilling experience. Return to the hotel later in the afternoon.

This morning, accompanied by your personal guide and chauffeur, traverse some of Angkor’s most iconic temples by bike, utilizing less-traveled routes and jungle pathways to evade bustling crowds. Depart from Siem Reap at dawn, using a woodland trail to dodge traffic, steering past the walls of Banteay Kdei and entering Ta Prohm from the North Gate. This ‘temple of the jungle’ has been surrendered to the elements, serving as a silent testament to the relentless force of nature, unfazed by the ebb and flow of human civilization. Abandoned in the state it was found by the French explorer Henri Mouhot in 1860, the encroaching tree roots here are gradually eradicating the enduring stones - a subtle paradox of man first conquering nature to build, only for nature to reclaim and obliterate man’s creations.
