Biking Beng Melea - Day Ride tour in Cambodia

Biking Beng Melea

Day Ride tour in Cambodia | 1 days outside Siem Reap | US$49
Cycle to the little visited and ruined temple of Beng Melea on back tracks and through a fascinating landscape.

You have seen the main temples and the sunrise, now see something really different. Come with us on a bike ride through the beautiful countryside that surrounds Siem Reap. Get off the main roads and onto the fascinating red dirt trails that weave their way through the rice paddies and villages towards Beng Melea Temple. This temple is quite less visited due to its distance from Siem Reap. The ride to get there is a great countryside experience.

If you have a reasonable level of fitness and ride a bike occasionally, then you should be able to do this ride. The distance is approximately 60km on mainly flat tracks and small roads. We will stop often for photos and refreshments.

Itinerary
At 8am meet at the City River Hotel, just across the river from the old market. Bring camera, sunglasses, sunscreen and comfortable cycling clothes. Built in 12th Century from sandstone, Beng Melea is a sizable temple, orientated towards the east. It has been largely reclaimed by nature with trees and moss covering the ruins. It gives a shady and quiet atmosphere and the lack of other visitors makes this temple a real treat. After lunch and some time to visit the temple, we will drive back to Siem Reap. You can expect to return to town around 3pm. It is not necessary to hold an Angkor Pass to participate in this ride. Entrance fees to Beng Melea are included in the tour price.

You can expect to return to Siem Reap around 3pm.
