Immerse yourself in the world's heritage sites on two wheels. Enjoying the refreshing breeze and stunning architecture at dawn will leave you in awe. As you pedal through the site, you will have the opportunity to stop and admire the intricate details of each structure and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. You will be guided through the single trails, which is an extraordinary experience, and riding in this glorious park is so idyllic that you won't want to miss it.
Kulen National Park will offer you a stunning view of the country while you are on the hilltop. A great hike from the original gate sumit to the spring from the foot tip of the 16th-century Buddha carving will reveal the local customs and beliefs. Swim lover? Then you will be delighted to know where the natural swimming pool is along the way.
At the hilltop, we will have the opportunity to have a blessing from a monk to bring in good luck, as Cambodia strongly believes in this. After a chant, your wrist will be tied up with a red stripe for witnessing. This is a symbol of protection and good fortune.
Day 1: RIDE TO THE ANGKOR & RETURN – 20KM/11MI – BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
You will get picked up from your accommodation and drive through the park to the first temple. From there, you can explore the temple grounds and immerse yourself in its rich history and culture. Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious temple, and the grandeur of its details and structure is impressive. We will pull over for a romantic breakfast before we pedal through the incredible trail in the park. We will immerse ourselves in the stunning, fascinated faces of the gate and graded temple of Bayon. You will conclude the tour at Ta Prohm, the famous temple engulfed by nature, where ancient ruins intertwine with towering trees. You will drive back to your accommodation after lunch.
Meals: B, L
DAY 2: HIKING THE LANGUR TRAILS – SWIM IN THE NATURAL BATH – 10KM/6.25MILES
Today we start our journey with a short drive to the foothills, and then adventure will begin. Kulen means “lychee tree,” and it is only the mountain range in this city. In 1993, it was declared a national park once the country had just liberated itself from the civil war. Surprisingly, it was a strong hold area for Khmer Rouge soldiers after the regime was surrendered in the capital city of Phnom Penh. Now it was brought back to the tourist’s map. Our hiking is starting from the old staircase, where you will prefer to take it because of the great scenery that can be seen from half way. A spring of water from the Buddha’s feet has been a holy spirit to locals for centuries. Here we will immerse ourselves like a local, and a blessing will be celebrated for good luck. You might wish to stay for a cool, windy day under the shade, but some steps away is the hilltop. It is not far, then you could hear the sound of a waterfall. If you love to swim in this natural pool, then you will need to prepare the clothes for change.
