Explore the temples and monuments of Angkor by bicycle. The ideal way to escape the crowds and enjoy a relatively unhurried exploration of one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites, you’ll weave your way through gates and temples inaccessible to the tourist laden cars and buses. This presents the perfect opportunity to soak up the atmosphere of these spectacular UNESCO monuments without the distractions of hordes of tour groups. Beginning with the unparalleled majesty of Angkor Wat you’ll start the day amongst the halls and chambers of the best preserved of all the Angkorian temples, before moving on to the old royal city of Angkor Thom. Cycling along the avenue of demons and gods that guard the South Gate, you’ll then visit the stunning stone heads and bas-relief carvings of the Bayon. You’ll then take in the Pyramid of Baphuon and the Terraces of the Elephants and the Leper King. Later we cycle to Srah Srang Lake and enjoy lunch overlooking the lake. Later, we return to your hotel by vehicle and enjoy your afternoon at the pool. Accommodation at your hotel.

Make an early start today for Kampong Pluk Village, enjoying a packed breakfast as you head out on a wooden boat to watch the sun rise over Tonle Sap Lake (or the paddy fields depending on the water level). Situated on the floodplain of the Tonle Sap Lake, the village houses appear to float when the water levels are high, but in the dry season when the stilts are exposed the village soars six metres above the ground. The residents aren't the only fishermen here: if you're lucky you might spot a crab-eating macaque in the nearby flooded mangrove forest. Later, we visit Beng Mealea Temple, one of Angkor’s more atmospheric settings, the ancient temple at Beng Mealea lies well off-the-beaten-track. Located some 77 kilometres from the main complex at Siem Reap and shrouded in jungle, this magical location conjures up instant images of lost temples and adventure, with its crumbling towers and courtyards wrapped in tree roots and vegetation. One of the largest of the Khmer temples, it is also one of Angkor’s most photogenic. Later we head to the Troav Kot Lake for your local lunch. In recent years, this is now popular for local hangout during the public holidays with stunning lake view. You can relax on the hammock while waiting for your food. Lots of local beer and drinker water are available for. After lunch, we head to Happy Dragon-fruit Farm and enjoy the local fruit before going to visit one of least visited temple called, Chai Say Vibol Temple, is the vastest temple complex in the Angkor plains that is situated outside the Archaeological Park. It lies to the east of Angkor and to the north-east of Roluos. It is an "off the beaten track" monument. A visitor should neither expect intact buildings nor delicious works of art, because Chau Say Vibol is unrestored. Even the original structure was not at all luxuriously decorated, though constructed in Angkor's heydays in the 12th century. It is most probably from the Angkor Wat period in the first half of the century. Arrival at Siem Reap and transfer to your hotel.

Welcome to Phnom Penh - the city once named Paris of the East. Despite its rapid development, it has retained its rustic charm and elegance. It is an amazing town with centuries of incredible history and culture which can still be felt at many street corners. Your guide will meet you and pick you up for Phnom Penh City tour. We first visit the Killing Fields outside the city and afterwards the centrally located prison “S21”. Both historic sites display the sad and cruel chapter of the country’s history when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia with terror and oppression. Those places have not changed much since this horrific time back in the early seventies and it can be quite heart-breaking. We have a lunch at a well-renowned Malis restaurant in town.
