Itinerary
You will be met and welcomed by our experienced cycling English speaking guide at your hotel with bikes and riding gears. Our guide will do itinerary briefing and begin the riding along Siem Reap river, leaving downtown through some splendid villages. There, you can absorb the real fresh air and some eye-catching views of thousands hectares’ rice field, big crowds of cow, buffalos, ducks, and many bird species flying above us making beautiful sounds. Learn about the lifestyle of villagers and what they do for livings: farming cycle, vegetable grown, haycock and so on. Visit the local market and taste the Khmer typical cookies. Visit Buddhist pagoda and learn about monks’ day-to-day routine. Stop for fresh coconut juice at a hammock restaurant. After that, pass by lotus flower fields to Tonle Sap to take a boat tour (boat tour is optional) to see floating village:
Chong Kneah floating village - after breakfast at your hotel, transfer to the Phnom Krom pier for boat on Tonle Sap Lake to visit floating village of Chong Kneah at the edge of Tonle Sap Lake. Cambodia’s Great Lake, the Boueng Tonle Sap (Tonle Sap Lake) is the most prominent feature on the map of Cambodia – a huge dumbbell-shaped body of water stretching across the northwest section of the country. In the wet season, the Tonle Sap Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, swelling to an expansive 12,000km2. During the dry, half of the year the lake shrinks to as 3000 km2, draining into the Tonle Sap River, which meanders southeast eventually merging with the Mekong River at the “Chaktomuk” confluence of river opposite Phnom Penh.
On the way back to town, visit modern Wat Arthvear pagoda, built on the ground of ancient 12th century Wat Arthear temple.
