  • Days 1-2

    Phnom Penh

    Land at Phnom Penh International Airport and get settled in the capital city. Plan your first full day carefully to make the most of your time. Start at the Royal Palace when it opens at 8AM to beat the heat. One traveler shared: "Having our guide explain the history of the Silver Pagoda really brought the royal heritage to life." Visit the S21 Prison Museum in the afternoon when it's less crowded. Remember to bring water and dress modestly - keep shoulders and knees covered at religious sites.

    
  • Day 3

    Phnom Penh to Siem Reap

    Take the 6-hour bus ride covering 314km through the countryside. Pick seats on the right side for better views. While flying is an option, the bus shows you local life and costs less. A visitor noted: "The bus was surprisingly comfortable with AC and WiFi - just bring snacks as the rest stops are basic."

    
  • Days 4-5

    Angkor Archaeological Park

    You'll need two full days to explore Angkor's temples properly. Start with Angkor Wat at sunrise (get there by 5AM). Visit Ta Prohm and Bayon when tour groups leave for lunch. A helpful tip from a traveler: "The temples get intensely hot by 11AM - plan your main sightseeing for early morning and late afternoon, with a pool break midday." Spend Day 5 at the outer temples like Banteay Srei, located 37km from Siem Reap. The pink sandstone looks best in morning light. Bring extra water since these remote sites offer less shade.

    
  • Day 6

    Tonle Sap Lake

    Book a morning boat trip to explore the floating villages. Water levels change dramatically between seasons. During dry months (November-April) some villages move to different locations. A recent visitor suggested: "Going early let us see the floating markets in action before tourist boats arrived. Fascinating to see how people adapt to life on water."

    
  • Day 7

    Departure from Siem Reap

    Give yourself 2 hours to reach the airport because of Siem Reap's traffic. If you have a later flight, visit the Old Market for better shopping deals than the Night Market.

  • Days 1-2

    Phnom Penh & Silk Islands

    Your journey begins in Phnom Penh. Take a morning ferry to the Silk Islands for a 30km ride through peaceful orchards and farms. "Cycling through the villages of Cambodia, locals would run out of their houses to wave as we cycled by - such friendly people in such a lovely country." Visit S-21 Prison (Tuol Sleng) in the afternoon. Pack a light shirt to change into after your ride. The city's humidity can be strong even for experienced cyclists.

    
  • Day 3

    Phnom Penh to Siem Reap

    Start with a 45km ride through rice fields near Kampong Thom to see the pre-Angkorian temples of Sambor Prei Kok. After lunch, you'll drive 4 hours to Siem Reap. The rural roads can be rough, so bring something soft to sit on for the drive.

    
  • Day 4

    Angkor Archaeological Park

    Bike about 50km on forest paths to Ta Prohm and Banteay Srei temples. The jungle routes to Ta Prohm are usually quiet and less touristy. Visit Banteay Srei late in the day to see the pink sandstone light up at sunset.

    
  • Day 5

    Tonle Sap Lake

    Ride 45km on the Tonle Sap Trail to see local village life. Take a boat to Kampong Phluk floating village. The best time is during wet season (June-November) when water levels peak. The trail has minimal shade, so pack extra water.

    
  • Day 6

    Angkor Wat Sunrise

    Wake up early for sunrise at Angkor Wat. After breakfast, take a 25km ride on hidden trails behind Angkor Park to discover quieter temples. One cyclist said: "The natural beauty of the ancient temples and cycling through jungle trails was unique and the highlight of my trip."

    
  • Day 7

    Departure from Siem Reap

    Enjoy your final breakfast before leaving. Book afternoon flights if possible since morning traffic to the airport can be slow.

  • Day 1

    Phnom Penh

    Land at Phnom Penh International Airport and make your way to Wat Phnom, the city's main landmark. Visit in the late afternoon to avoid the heat and see locals gathering in the park. The temple is on a 27-meter artificial hill. You'll want comfortable shoes for climbing the steps.

    
  • Day 2

    Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville

    Visit the Royal Palace early to see the Emerald Buddha before crowds arrive. Walk 5 minutes to the National Museum and get there at 8 AM opening to avoid tour groups. "The museum's collection really helps understand what you'll see later at Angkor Wat. Don't skip it!" says one traveler. Take a one-hour afternoon flight to Sihanoukville for your beach stay.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Sihanoukville Beach Time

    Spend two days at Cambodia's best beaches. While Ochheuteal Beach is the main attraction, try Otres Beach for a more peaceful experience. It's just 10 minutes away by tuk-tuk. Beach vendors can be persistent but a polite "ot te" (no thanks) usually works. Go swimming in the morning before the day gets too hot. Consider taking a boat trip to Koh Rong island. Boats leave regularly from the pier.

    
  • Day 5

    Sihanoukville to Siem Reap

    Fly to Siem Reap in the morning. After settling in, visit Tonle Sap Lake to see the floating villages. Plan for late afternoon when fishermen return with their catch. "The sunset cruise on Tonle Sap was incredible, but bring mosquito repellent. They come out at dusk," one visitor notes.

    
  • Day 6

    Angkor Archaeological Park

    Leave your hotel at 5 AM for the Angkor sunrise. Bring a flashlight for the dark paths. Skip the main entrance and use the quieter East Gate instead. After Angkor Wat, visit Bayon Temple to see its famous faces. In the afternoon, drive 45 minutes to Banteay Srei to see its detailed carvings. The temples offer little shade, so bring plenty of water.

    
  • Day 7

    Final Morning in Siem Reap

    If your flight schedule allows, visit the Old Market in your final morning. It's busiest between 7-9 AM when locals shop. The airport is 20 minutes from town. During peak season (November-February), leave extra time for traffic.
