Discover Angkor’s Hidden Treasures with Siem Reap’s Best Bike Tour

Embark on an Unforgettable Off-Road Adventure

Expertly Guided, Customizable Mountain Bike Tours in Angkor’s Stunning Landscapes

Hello from

Angkor Offtrack!

Hi , I’m Thierry from France. I’ve made Siem Reap my home since 2011. Alongside my trusty mountain bike, I’ve explored every corner of this incredible place.

My tours are carefully designed to offer an unparalleled experience.

The reason behind this is that even before considering welcoming guests, exploring this captivating location was a personal hobby.

Since I started exploring the site, I was fully aware of the downsides that could diminish the experience. To counter this, I dedicated myself to refining every detail to ensure the utmost enjoyment.

This included prioritizing aspects such as getting comfortable bike saddles, avoiding lengthy rides on paved roads by using convenient tuktuk transport, and even pioneering new pathways to seamlessly connect remarkable spots while bypassing disruptive paved roads.

This endeavor involved investing countless hours in exploration, resulting in routes that are truly one-of-a-kind and breathtaking. I can confidently claim to be among the foremost experts in navigating off-the-beaten-path routes, seamlessly linking one incredible destination to the next.

Sharing this delightful expedition with those who are inquisitive and enthusiastic brings me immense joy.

Get set for a memorable ride, as I lead you through the breathtaking sights of Angkor. I’m looking forward to sharing this adventure with you!

Why My Tours Are Top-Notch

The design of my routes ensures that you get to engage in a smooth, consistent workout, while also being able to take in the stunning natural landscapes, local culture, and some truly remarkable hidden temples.
Ride only the tour
Save your energy for the beautiful parts of the ride instead of wasting it on the 16km round trip of busy, hazardous paved road from/to Siem Reap! Thanks to convenient transfers by tuktuk, we focus only on the most scenic sections. And if at any point you’re feeling exhausted, a complimentary tuktuk is ready to take you back to Siem Reap from almost anywhere during the tour.
Nearly All Off-Road
I’ve selected routes that primarily follow sandy paths and avoid asphalt roads. This way, you’ll find yourself enveloped by diverse natural landscapes, far from the crowds, noise, and pollution. The trail is majorly shaded to keep you cool as well.
Customizable and Adaptable
No worries if some members of the group want to rest while others want to push on. Fancy spending more time exploring the countryside, staying in shaded areas, or skipping certain temples to explore others? No problem. I’m here to tailor the routes to your liking. My flexibility allows me to make on-the-spot changes to give you the best experience possible.
Comfortable Well-Maintained
Bikes and Gear
I furnish the latest Giant mountain bikes that come with ultra-soft, well-padded seats and a helmet for your comfort and safety.
Intimate Group Sizes
(maximum of 4 people)
To ensure the best conditions for each tour, I limit the group size to just four people, except of course, for private trails where the group can decide the size.
Informative Temple Visits
We’ll uncover some incredible hidden temples. For those of you with a keen interest, I can share intriguing educational nuggets of information I’ve picked up from a scholar who has been researching the Angkor complex for the past two decades.

Tour Preview

Here’s What You
Can Expect

Your journey can be as unique as you want it to be. But if you’re undecided, let me take you on my favorite path. Just a quick preview – no spoilers:

We start our adventure on a sandy trail, making our way to a distinct, often overlooked temple that feels like it’s been lifted from a fairy tale. Moving on, we navigate a network of sandy paths only known to the local villagers. This way, you’ll get a real taste of the lively Khmer countryside, complete with picturesque landscapes and quaint hamlets. Before you know it, we’ll find ourselves at the edge of the Angkor Thom moat.

Our surroundings change as we exchange the sandy paths for the thick jungle. We delve into the jungle’s heart to uncover another remarkable temple, Preah Khan. Nestled in this serene setting is a cozy spot where a lovely lady prepares some truly delectable wok dishes fresh to order. Here’s where we’ll stop for a well-deserved lunch break.
Once we’re recharged, our journey continues. We wander through more jungle trails, enjoyable routes, and enchanting bridges that lead us to a quiet, hidden Buddhist temple nestled deep in the jungle. Our path then takes us even further into the jungle, following less traveled tracks, until we stand before the prominent Ta Prohm temple.
From this point, the rest of the day is up to you. If relaxation is what you seek, we can return to your hotel. But if you’ve still got the spirit of adventure in you, there’s so much more to see. No matter what you decide, I promise you a memorable experience you’ll cherish for a long time!
