Bike quiet lanes to three 9th-century temples, then cross to Kompong Phluk by boat to witness Tonle Sap village life. This private eight-hour tour pairs low-traffic cycling with an immersive floating-village visit.

Dawn light strips across cracked red brick towers as you pedal out of your hotel and into fields where water buffalo lift slow shapes in the mist. Narrow village lanes push you forward; children wave from wooden porches, and the early heat already tugs at your shirt. The ride threads three 9th-century Roluos temples—Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei—each a chapter in early Khmer stonework, before a dusty road leads to the Tonle Sap and the stilted houses of Kompong Phluk.
