There are a number of ways to add the perfect day to an itinerary for adventure travel in Cambodia, reports Time.

In an article about the Cambodian destination of Siem Reap, Gemma Price warns against seeing the community simply as a starting point from which to explore the surrounding area.

Located in the south of a province with which it shares its name, Siem Reap is named after the 17th century defeat of the Siamese by the Khmer Empire.

The province is home to the Angkor temples – but the Time columnist suggests people enjoying adventure travel in Cambodia might want to explore Siem Reap itself.

Different ways to do so include hiring a bicycle and heading out for a picnic breakfast, driving to nearby waterfalls for some hiking, or jogging a circular route through the city and out to the temples at Angkor Wat.

"Once you've spent a day or three clambering over the 12th century temple complex, it's worth getting to know more of Siem Reap," Ms Price asserts.
