More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning air on the plateau of Phnom Kulen has a sharp, earthy taste; your bike idles like an impatient animal as the jungle reaches out with vine-draped trails and sunlight that punches through the canopy. Over five days you’ll move from the mossed stones of Kulen to the stepped pyramid of Koh Ker, through red dust and river-cut tracks toward Preah Khan Kampong Svay and the chequered ruins of Sambor Prei Kuk.
