Itinerary

Meet a driver at your hotel in Siem Reap for the scenic, 2-hour trip to Phnom Kulen Mountain, passing a landscape of tropical forest and rural communities in your air-conditioned vehicle. 

The first stop of the day is a hilltop temple, where you’ll find a massive reclining Buddha carved directly into a sandstone boulder. Next, head to the River of a Thousand Lingas, exploring a riverbank adorned with ancient carvings of phalluses and Hindu gods.

Cool off at another sacred site, Phnom Kulen Waterfalls, which tumble into a wide basin that’s ideal for a midday swim or wade. Throughout the day, the guide will help bring the ancient sites to life by explaining their significance and symbolism, and you’ll have time to purchase lunch at a local restaurant before the return trip to Siem Reap.

Phnom Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River

A definite recommendation! Was an extremely interesting and informative trip. We had Nak as a tour guide and he was great and gave us detailed information about each attraction!

Great tour guide for Siem Reap

This tour is a must if you visit Siem Reap. Phnom Kulen is beautiful with a spiritual energy that can only be experienced. Our tour guide Nak was the best as he took us through the Temple, 1,000 Linga River and the waterfall. He was patient and never rushed us. We chose the private tour and he helped us understand the religion and culture of the Cambodian people. I would 100% recommend him and our drive Vong who expertly navigated the road up the mountain. If you are visiting Siem Reap, book this tour and ask for Nak. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing tour of Phnom Kulen

Our tour with Nak today was sublime! We were guided through the beautiful Phnom Kulen area and every step of the way Nak had interesting stories and facts to share with us. His timing was flawless as well, we always managed to get to prime spots before other tourists, leaving us time alone to soak in the grounding, spiritual energy around us. Additionally Nak guided us through the Buddhist traditions so that we could experience the temple as a local would. All the while, he was capturing photos of the moment, so that we would be able to keep and remember these cherished experiences! I would highly recommend using Nak as your guide! The tour itself was stunning and is a must to experience while you are visiting Siam Reap! Lastly, our driver, Vong, expertly navigated the roads up the mountain keeping us comfortable and safe. He made the logistics of our trip flawless and we would highly recommend him as well.

Mount Kulen Tour

Choub showed us the waterfall (where we swam in the holy water), the river (with carvings) and the sleeping Buddha at the top of the mountain. The information shared was very thorough - Choub bought energy and enthusiasm whilst showing us the highlights of Mt Kulen. Pickup was prompt - the tour ran seamlessly, would recommend as a way to spend a morning.

Tour with amazing guide

I had a great experience seeing the river, pagoda and waterfall. The highlight of the tour was my guide, Silen Truy. She was knowledgeable (know about all the places and answered all of my questions), friendly and spoke great English. She also went over and above and was also the driver (who was in hospital) for my private tour.
