Depart from the hotel by air-conditioned car to the northwest of Siem Reap town, making an optional stop at a local market along the way to the bicycle departure point. After a short ride on the bikes, stop and walk up the steps of the 11th century Wat Svay Romeat Pagoda. Meet with a local monk who shares his insight on Buddhism by explaining more about the function of the Pagoda within the community. Buddhist monks will provide a private blessing ceremony for good health and a safe journey. 

Next, ride along a dirt road of the West Baray then travel by boat to the West Mebon, a temple built to honour royal ancestors on an island in the centre of the lake. 

Return to the dock and enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch in a local kiosk with the option of swimming in the Baray.  After lunch, ride through pastoral countryside to a small village where a local family produces a local delicacy. Sample fresh Krolan: sticky rice, coconut milk, and green bean grilled in bamboo by traditional methods. Continue by bicycle back to Wat Svay Romeat and return to the hotel. (L)
