Hidden Temple Cycling Adventure in Siem Reap Angkor

A half-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Depends on the selected option, Prasat Chrung Southeast, Khmoch Gate (Gate of the Dead) and French Dam / ទំនប់ទឹកបារាំង. There are 7 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Professional English-Speaking Tour Guide, Hotel Pickup and Drop-off and Private Air-Conditioned Vehicle and Driver. It does not cover personal expenses and tips, travel insurance and meals and drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price. Angkor Thom was the last capital of the Khmer empire, laid out by Jayavarman VII around 1200 behind eight metres of wall and a moat, with five gates whose causeways are lined by gods and demons hauling on a serpent. At its centre is the Bayon, whose towers carry over 200 enormous serene faces, and whose outer galleries show not gods but ordinary Khmer life: markets, cockfights, a woman giving birth, the naval battle against the Chams. The Baphuon behind it was dismantled for restoration and rebuilt over decades after the records were lost in the war. The Terrace of the Elephants was the royal reviewing stand, 350 metres of parading elephants and garudas. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $156, 5 is $234 and 8 is $302. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. SOUTHEAST ASIA JOURNEYS runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
