History
Preah Khan and Neak Pean date to the 12th century, built under Jayavarman VII as part of a state religion and water management system that supported Angkor’s capital.
Conservation
Angkor’s stonework is fragile; visitors should follow marked paths, avoid climbing on ruins, and honor local guidelines to reduce erosion and visitor impact.

Respect temple dress code
Wear a shirt that covers shoulders and pants or a skirt that reaches the knees—temples enforce modest dress and you may be denied entry otherwise.
Stay hydrated and use electrolytes
Tropical heat plus cycling can dehydrate quickly; carry two liters and sip often—fruit snacks and bottled water are provided but bring an extra refillable bottle if you sweat heavily.
Prepare for mixed surfaces
Expect paved roads, packed dirt and occasional loose sand; a standard hybrid bike is suitable but avoid thin‑tired road bikes.
Watch local traffic and animals
Village roads are shared with motorbikes, tuk‑tuks and livestock—ride defensively and let faster vehicles pass at safe points.
Helmet
Provided on tour but bring your own for fit and comfort; protects on village roads and loose surfaces.
Lightweight long‑sleeve shirt & knee‑covering shorts
Covers skin from sun and mosquitoes and complies with Angkor temple dress rules.
