More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first pedal stroke takes you out of Siem Reap’s bustling center and onto hard-packed dirt that runs like an old road through rice fields and palm groves. Birds wheel low over flooded paddies; a farmer’s silhouette pauses at the edge of a field and watches you pass. As the sun dips, shadows lengthen across wide, flat land and a cool breeze begins to push you forward.

Hydrate before you go

Expect loose surfaces
Dirt roads can be rutted or muddy after rain—choose shoes with grip and be ready to slow for puddles.
