Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: King's Road Angkor, Achar Sva St East of Old Market Bridge, Siem Reap 17259 Cambodia

Old Market Bridge (water wheel)
Your countryside biking adventure begins with your friendly local guide picking you up from the meeting point and leading you to the bike shop to pick out your bike. Here we’ll talk about bicycle safety (most of the journey takes place on dirt tracks, away from the main roads) and tell you a bit about our itinerary for the day.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Cambodian Cultural Village, Airport Road # 6, Khum Svay Dang Kum Krus Village, Siem Reap Cambodia

The itinerary will vary slightly each time, depending on what’s happening that day in the villages we visit. We may stop to watch seasonal activities such as rice or vegetable planting or harvesting or try palm leaf weaving. A stop at a family farm is essential though, where you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the sort of work they do and chat with the family about local life.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Bakong, Roluos, Siem Reap Cambodia

We will explore an area which was used by Angelina Jolie in a movie she directed, called ‘First They Killed My Father’ which recounts the terrors suffered by Loung Ung (a child at the time but now a respected author and human rights activist) at the hands of the brutal Khmer Rouge.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Totung Thngai Temple, Cambodia

We stop for about 15 minutes at this ancient lake and talk about how it is helpful for the whole community.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Totung Thngai Temple, Cambodia

Our next stop of the day then will be a lunch date with the Totung Thngai community, who have prepared us a delicious and authentic meal. As we eat, we’ll chat to locals about daily life and local food culture.

Stop At: Totung Thngai Temple, Cambodia

After a short rest for lunch we will visit the Totung Thngai Temple, hidden in the countryside and mostly overlooked by tourists. Your local guide will fill you in on the temple’s history.
