Rediscover Angkor Magic at Sunrise by Bike
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Shared | Half-Day | History & Heritage
One of the world’s ancient wonders is an awe-inspiring site to behold. Nestled in the centre of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Angkor Archaeological Site has proudly etched its name in the UNESCO annals. And yet, the sights of the reigns of old temples and imperial fortifications shine a different light when it opens its doors to the public. Before sunrise, new lights illuminate the extraordinary outlines of these architectural marvels, which is best observed while moving around the enormous historic complex on a bicycle.
Welcoming Angkor’s hues and early morning scenery starts with a pre-sunrise welcome and adjusting the configurations of your pedalpowered ride for the day, to suit your requirements. Through an exceptionally curated route, pedalling into the realm of Angkor marks a full-day exploration second to none. Guided by a local expert, the tour moves along shady and easily accessible paths, with plenty of photo stops along the way. Aside from the eco-friendly stamp, this bicycle option allows us to see Angkor differently and avoid crowds where possible. An early morning camp-style meal is set up near one of the reservoirs, blending in perfectly with the tour’s active and exploratory theme. The tour ends with a replenishing lunch at a local restaurant.
As the sun begins to rise, visits to some of the lesser-known temples and the majestic contours of Angkor Wat fill these 10 hours with awe and amazement before guests return to downtown Siem Reap.
