Overview
A Special Ride for the GX Summit
In celebration of the GX Summit and our new partnership with Planeterra, we are offering complimentary places on a special edition of our Social Impact Cycling Day Tour on Monday 28 September 2026.
Join us for a morning of cycling through remote villages, dirt trails and lesser-known Angkorian temples in the Siem Reap countryside, led by Cambodian guides who know these landscapes like the back of their hand. Quality bikes, a support tuk tuk following the whole way, and a ride designed for all levels.
The Experience
We pedal through scenic dirt trails and lush countryside, watching daily life unfold in remote villages, including one known for its rattan basket weaving. We cycle past ancient ruins and through the villages within the temple complex itself, with no Angkor Pass required.
Half on dirt, half on tarmac, and entirely off the tourist map. Designed for riders of all levels.
Impact Talks
Along the way you will hear about the work of our partner causes, focusing on poverty alleviation, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and environmental sustainability right here in Siem Reap.
Optional Add-Ons
