Coast To Angkor : Biking - 9 Days / 8 Nights
Phnom Penh - Sihanoukville - Kampot - Kep - Takeo - Siem Reap - Angkor
Though the ruins of Angkor and the beaches of Sihanoukville area already drawing visitors to Cambodia, much of the country remains relatively unexplored. On this adventure, you will cross the former Khmer empire as you cycle through rice paddies fringed with sugar palms, past craggy mountains clad in jungle, to the country's sparkling unspoiled coastline. By enjoying delicious local cuisine in village homes, visiting small-town markets and relaxing among serene temple ruins in the country's fertile south, you'll experience a unique side of this compelling country away from the tourists and touts.
Your adventure begins in Phnom Penh, the country's chaotic capital. Leaving the pulsing city streets behind, you'll travel south through lush countryside to the coast, where you will be able to enjoy tropical white sand beaches, visit a secluded island and explore dusty French villas in old colonial towns. Traveling back toward Phnom Penh, you will stay in a typical Cambodian town where the market is still the centre of daily life. A visit to the mostly deserted Tonle Bati Temple will offer you your first glimpse of Angkor-era ruins.
Spend one more night in the capital before heading to Siem Reap, an engaging town that serves as gateway to the magnificent Angkor temple complexes, a highlight of any tour to Cambodia. While cycling through towering jungle you will encounter magnificent ancient sites like the Bayon and the Ta Phrom, before experiencing the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat. Your time in Cambodia will draw to an end, as you enjoy the rest of your time in Cambodia sampling Khmer spices and flavors at local restaurants, watching a traditional Khmer ballet, and browsing through the silk and crafts at the central market.
Come delve into the mysteries of the Khmer empire with us… no one knows Cambodia like Exotissimo!

Set in a lush garden enclosure, Amansara glows with the nuances of its sixties conception; commissioned by Norodum Sihanouk in 1962, it is, today, a peaceful contemporary and warm sanctuary just minutes to Angkor Wat Complex.

Cambodia is a country so rich in history that to truly enjoy it takes time. It has overcome recent civil war with incredible resilience and boasts some of the most spectacular jungle and religious monuments in Asia.
Seeing the temples of Angkor for the first time is an unforgettable experience, but what makes this trip special is the sights you'll see from the seat of your bike and the people you'll meet as you trek through small villages. Exploring the ancient Khmer ruins that surround Siem Reap in this manner brings you closer to the land and gives you a chance to feel the harmonious blend of the Cambodian nature and architecture.
