Angkor Small Circuit Bike Ride

Added on 16 Oct 2026
Logged by @trailx

A flat loop by bike around the great temples of Angkor, the capital of the Khmer Empire. Starting at Angkor Wat, the ride climbs past Phnom Bakheng to the South Gate of Angkor Thom, visits the Bayon and the Terrace of the Elephants, exits by the Victory Gate past Ta Keo, and returns past the jungle-wrapped Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei and the reservoir of Srah Srang. Angkor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
