Overview
Instead of the crowds of Angkor Wat, ride a full day through the Roluos Group to Hariharalaya where Cambodia’s first temple capital and Angkor Wat’s predecessor. From a village pagoda, we pass hidden brick ruins, then we climb to Bakong’s stepped pyramid, and see Preah Ko’s six towers. In the afternoon, enjoy a home-style Khmer lunch and visit the authentic Preah Ko temple. Otherwise, visit a children’s art centre where kids learn traditional leather-puppet carving, before closing the day at the island temple of Lolei. Every arrangement is made for all you need to do is ride.

A short ride brings you to a small, rarely-visited brick sanctuary, then on to Bakong which is the largest Roluos temple and the first Khmer temple-mountain built entirely of sandstone.

45m · Admission ticket not included
Cycle to Preah Ko, built in 879 AD, to admire its six brick towers and sandstone Nandi bull statues. Then visit a local children’s art center to watch traditional leather puppet carving up close, and a nearby silk workshop to see silk-making production in action.

Explore Lolei, one of the earliest Roluos temples that was originally built on an island in the great Indratataka reservoir, with its four brick towers and still-active pagoda. Then cycle back at an easy pace through the countryside, arriving in Siem Reap by approximately 3:40 PM.
