Phnom Kulen Bike Adventure – 2 Days 1 Night

Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Siem Reap between 7:30 am and 8:00 am for the transfer to Svay Leu, located at the foot of Phnom Kulen and the starting point of today's cycling adventure. During the drive, your guide will provide a tour briefing, covering the day's activities, safety guidelines, and interesting background information about the region.

Upon arrival, our guide and mechanic will assist with bike fitting and a final equipment check before we begin the challenging but rewarding climb to the top of Phnom Kulen. The ride takes you through peaceful villages, forested mountain roads, and beautiful natural scenery, with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos, interact with local families, and learn about the culture, wildlife, and flora of the mountain.

Along the way, enjoy a snack break with fresh fruit, cold drinks, and locally brewed coffee before continuing to Peung Tbal, a small hill that once served as a place of meditation and worship for ancient hermits. We then ride to a local village for lunch.

In the afternoon, continue cycling along jungle trails to discover hidden archaeological treasures, including an ancient temple dating back more than 1,000 years and the remarkable Srah Damrey, where elephants, lions, and frogs were carved directly into massive natural sandstone boulders during the Angkor period. The adventure continues to a bat cave that remains an active meditation site before reaching Wat Preah Kral, a hilltop Buddhist monastery offering spectacular panoramic views across the plains toward Siem Reap.
Later, visit the sacred River of 1,000 Lingas and Preah Ang Thom, home to the giant reclining Buddha carved from a single sandstone boulder. Cool off with a refreshing swim at the beautiful Phnom Kulen Waterfall before riding to our riverside campsite.

This evening, relax beside the river, enjoy a campfire dinner under the stars, and spend the night in the heart of nature.

Our ride starts with a visit to Preah Ang Thom Village and a natural pond before continuing to Prasat Krahom, located on another hilltop within the Phnom Kulen range. This site offers one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the mountain and is home to the remains of a brick temple dating back over 1,000 years. We then continue to Peung Chhronh, another scenic viewpoint overlooking the surrounding forests and mountain ranges, with a relaxing coffee break along the way.

After enjoying the mountain scenery, we begin our descent through rural landscapes and local villages before reaching Beong Chhouk. Here, we enjoy a picnic lunch at a floating restaurant surrounded by peaceful natural scenery. Guests may choose to relax and enjoy lunch from the comfort of the floating hut or take advantage of the included kayaking experience to explore the calm waters of the lake at their own pace.

At approximately 2:00 pm, we transfer back to Siem Reap, arriving at your hotel between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm, marking the end of an unforgettable Phnom Kulen cycling and camping adventure.
