Description
Cycle through the countryside, meet locals, pick your own vegetables, and join a Cambodian cooking class, all on this guided trip from Siem Reap. Enjoy your prepared meal for lunch at a local’s home.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and ride through the charming backroads to the scenic countryside on this easy-paced bike excursion from Siem Reap. Stop along the way to meet the locals, pick produce, and sample typical Cambodian cuisine during a cooking class.
After pickup at your accommodation, meet your guide and get fitted with a bicycle and helmet. From here, cycle through the picturesque Siem Reap vegetable village where most of the vegetables and herbs you find in dishes served throughout Siem Reap are grown.
Once at the vegetable village, you can put your farming skills to the test and pick your own veggies, which you’ll later use to prepare your lunch.
Next, visit the outdoor market where the locals shop for their fresh ingredients. You’ll get to discover a local specialty and choose the best local snacks and fruits to try.
Later you’ll leave the tarmac behind, pedaling down small dirt paths through the scenic countryside and watch as the local farmers cultivate, care for, and harvest their produce.
Spot lots of water buffaloes lounging about in the mud and take advantage of endless photo opportunities. Expect greetings from locals as they go about their daily activities.
For lunch, visit a local family where you’ll learn how to cook Cambodian food using the ingredients you collected throughout the tour. Enjoy individual cooking stations and a hands-on lesson led by a local chef.
After cooking, indulge in your made-by-you main course alongside a Cambodian welcome drink, served up in a tropical garden. With a full stomach, head back Siem Reap in the afternoon.
