"Temple Trail"

Our temple trails take in 10th Century 'prasats' , or temples, off the typical tourist map, giving you a definite Indiana Jones / Lara Croft feel! Passing through the Dangrek Mountains and along ox-cart tracks, we ride to temples which until recently were virtually inaccessible, deep in previously Khmer Rouge territory. Our Northern Temple Circuit also visits the last stand of 'Brother Number One' Pol Pot in the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Anlong Veng


Day 1
From Phnom Penh, we ride to Prasat Kuk Hir Temple via the town of Skuon, famous for its deep fried tarantulas! In Kompong Thom we rest for lunch, swinging in hammocks overlooking a lake. From there we continue to Tbeng Meanchey.

Day 2
We leave Tbeng Meanchey and hit the junlges to the hidden pyramid-style temple of Koh Ker, a former capital of Angkor.We then continue through the jungles, making our way to Preah Vihear. After an exhilarating ride to the top, we spend the afternoon exploring these ancient ruins and taking in the mountaintop view across the border. That night you can choose to camp out in the temple grounds or stay at a local guesthouse

Day 3
After descending Preah Vihear Mountain, We bike west along the Dangrek Mountains to the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Anlong Veng, previously home to the likes of Khieu Samphan, Ta Mok and 'Brother Number One', Pol Pot. From there we turn south to Siem Reap, home of Angkor Wat.


Day 4
As dirtbikes are not allowed in the Angkor complex, we spend the exploring the highlights of the Angkor complex by tuk tuk (dirt bikes are not allowed), taking in Angkor Wat itself, Bayon, Mebon, and the overgrown Ta Prohm to name but a few. After a day of exploring, we spend a relaxing evening in Siem Reap town

Day 5
After 4 days of dirt we hit the tarmac and head back to Phnom Penh, visiting the hilltop pagoda of Phnom Santuk on the way.
