Most of the cycling on this tour is on flat terrain. However, due to the amount of cycling, and because some of the cycling is off-road, it is recommended only for physically fit and trained cyclists.
Trip Tips:
The winter months in Cambodia are the dry season, and it is usually from about mid October to around the end of February. However, when cycling any time of the year in Cambodia, you will need to bring sun screen, insect repellent, sunglasses, and of course drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Bottled water is provided on all our cycling tours.

Ta Phrom was built in the 12th century by King Jayavarvan VII, and dedicated to his mother. The trees have grown around and through the remains, and tower above the temple remains. Archaeologists have left the vegetation as is so you can see how it looked when it was rediscovered, and how other Angkor temples looked before restoration.
