Half Day Biking Tour 3: Angkor Wat Forest – Diethelm Standard

18 km on mostly paved roads, some parts unpaved.
Transfer from hotel by vehicle to the West Gate of Preah Khan temple. Built by King Jayavarman VII, Preah Khan is like Ta Prohm a place of towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors. Unlike Ta Prohm however, Preah Khan is in a reasonable state of preservation and ongoing restoration efforts should maintain and even improve this situation. The bikes will wait at the East Gate. Ride the bikes from East Gate of Preah Khan up to Ta Nei temple on a forest path. Visit Ta Nei temple and continue again on forest path to Takeo temple. Drive around Takeo temple (no visit) and continue to the West Gate of Ta Prohm. Visit Ta Prohm, one of the area's most beautiful temples. Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Ride on to the East entrance of Angkor Wat. Visit Angkor Wat or transfer back to the hotel.
