Angkor Grand Circuit by Electric Mountain Bike
The Grand Circuit, the way the buses cannot do it.
While most one-day visitors queue at Angkor Wat and Bayon, you'll be on the other side of the park, riding forest trail to five temples the coach tours skip. No crowds at the gate. No schedule but yours. Lunch is waiting deep inside the forest, under trees you'll have to sit beneath to believe. The kind of day you'll describe later by what the forest looked like, not by what was on the bus speaker.

Why ride the grand circuit
Five hidden temples, one quiet day
Five temples in one ride. Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon, Ta Ney — the Grand Circuit's hidden five, linked by forest trail for most of the day. Most visitors only see two of these on a coach.
You pick your start time between 7 and 9 AM. Beat the noon heat. Home by mid-afternoon.
Giant e-bikes. The motor does the climbing. No cycling gear needed. European-standard helmet provided.
Sit-down Khmer lunch deep in the forest. A proper meal served under trees taller than you'd imagine, reached after the Srah Srang baray.
Your day, hour by hour

This is your private tour. Your guide reads your pace and adapts as the day unfolds — longer at the temples that move you, a quieter walk through one, or a swap to another on the same circuit when it feels right. The day shapes itself around you.
The magic moment
The forest arrival at Preah Khan, then the ride to lunch
Two stretches you remember years later.
You approach Preah Khan from the jungle side. There's no road and no coach park, just forest trail breaking out at the back of the temple. For a moment it feels like you've found a ruin no one knows about. Later, after Srah Srang baray, you continue deeper into the forest until lunch appears — sit-down Khmer, served under trees taller than you could imagine.
Two long stretches of forest, three hours apart, that frame the day. The kind you remember years later.

Visited Angkor for the first time on electric mountain bikes! Went to hidden spots and saw amazing temples you wouldn’t find by van, car or tuktuk. A bike tour through the jungle to witness the least popular but incredibly unique temples, with several stops to enjoy coconut and spot some wild animals along the way, what more can you ask for? Highly recommend!

All kinds of tours on offer! Hidden trails, away from busy crowds, tailored experiences. We visited Angkor Wat with our family of 4 with their electric mountain bikes and a guide who brought us to some very special spots and breathtaking views. Book a bike tour with Adventures Cambodia!

When most people think about visiting Angkor, they imagine crowds and busy temple entrances. But experiencing Angkor on a bike completely changes the story. An Angkor bike tour takes you beyond the main roads and into quiet jungle trails, hidden paths, and peaceful corners that many visitors never get to see — creating a far more personal and authentic connection with this incredible destination. PLENTY OF Instagrammable picture perfect spots For those who prefer comfort without losing the spirit of adventure, an Angkor e-bike tour is the perfect balance. Effortless riding, premium experience, and the freedom to explore deeper into the temples make it ideal for travelers who want something truly special rather than a standard tour. What truly makes the difference, however, is the people behind the experience. With Akim guiding the journey, every detail was seamless — from timing and route selection to local insights and storytelling. The entire day felt exclusive, well-curated, and genuinely memorable. If you’re looking for more than just sightseeing — and want to experience Angkor in a unique, immersive, and comfortable way — this is absolutely the way to do it.

No special fitness needed. The bikes are electric, so the motor does the climbing for you. If you can ride a regular bicycle, you can ride these. The pace is set by you, not by us, and your guide reads your group and adapts the day around it.
How hard are the trails? Are they technical?
The route is forest tracks and hard-packed paths, not technical mountain biking. No steep climbs, no rocky descents. Your guide rides in front to show the line and keep the pace comfortable. If a section feels harder than you expected, we slow down or take an easier line.
What time does the tour start?
You pick any start time between 7 and 9 AM.
How many people will be on the tour?
This is a private tour, so it's just your group. Single-guide capacity is about 6 riders. Larger groups can be accommodated with additional guides, message us to confirm.
Can kids join?
Children need to be at least 110 cm tall to ride their own e-bike. Because this is a full day on forest tracks, it isn't the right tour for very young children.
What if it rains?
The tour runs in the rain. Siem Reap rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts, the forest canopy covers most of the route, and we carry ponchos.
Is the Angkor Pass included?
No. The pass is $37 for one day, bought separately. We recommend buying online at angkorenterprise.gov.kh rather than at the gate.
What languages can the guide speak?
English is the default. French, Spanish, Italian, and German are available on request, for an extra to cover the specialist guide.
What's the cancellation policy?
14+ days before: full refund
Less than 14 days before: 50% refund
Less than 5 days before, or no-show: no refund

Akim Ly
I grew up inside the walls of Angkor Wat, in the pagoda where my grandfather, Loung Sake, served as Grand Abbot. The pagoda still stands today, just inside the enclosure.
Girls weren't allowed to sleep in the monastery, so I shaved my head and dressed as a boy to stay close to him. He taught me Sanskrit on palm leaves.
Adventures Cambodia started in 2013. Every tour is private and led by a local.
