Siem Reap Half Day By Bicycle Sunset On The Bank Of Lake

A half-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Wat Damnak, Siem Reap Province and Krong Siem Reap. The price covers English Speaking Tour Guide, Bicycle and helmet and Some Cold Water and Soft Drink. It does not cover personal expenses, 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. The countryside immediately around Siem Reap is rice paddy, sugar-palm trees and villages that are five minutes off the temple road and rarely seen by people doing the circuits. The sugar palm is the national tree and its sap is tapped from the crown by men who climb a notched pole twice a day, boiled down to the palm sugar used in every Khmer kitchen. The rice year sets everything: transplanting in the wet months, the fields green through the rains, harvest around November and December, then dry stubble and dust. Late afternoon is when the light works and when the villages are out, so most of these rides run to sunset. Priced per person at about $46 each, so a party of 8 comes to $364. The price you see on this page is the total for the party size you pick, not a per-head figure to multiply. Countryside Sunset Bike Tours runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
