Angkor set to get even better for cyclists

Angkor is already one of the great cycling destinatons

Cambodia’s Apsara Authority is building 23 kilometres of cycling paths around the temples of Angkor. It’ll make a superb cycling destination even better.

I rate Angkor as one of the best casual cycling destinations in Asia - and that’s before the creation of a 23 kilometre cycling trail, recently announced by the Apsara Authority.

Cyclists around Angkor already enjoy cycling lanes along the main roads. But those are shared with traffic - which can be busy at certain times of day. The new paths will separate cyclists from other traffic improving safety and the cycling experience.

Family cycling at Angkor set to get even better

Angkor is already leading the way in cycling tourism - and it’s about to get better. We hope other destinations take note. In Vietnam, the travel experience in Hoi An and Hue would be greatly improved with dedicated cycling paths.
